Btw, a friend of mine looked at some comments people leave on photos. His reaction? "Jeezus, people on that site need to RELAX!"

EDIT: Congrats to togtog on his free membership. Cool idea, Judi.

Exactly....and it has me thinking that maybe Langdon can run a bonues challenge where you have to make the viewer work out how you did the photo. And everyone who comments on ALL the entries goes into a competition. The one who works out the most entries correctly wins a gift membership that they can keep, donate or whatever with! It would encourage both the photographer and the viewer and the comments!

That sounds too much like hard work - not relaxing at all. ;-Þ

Why should you get special treatment? :-p

I am NOT special.....but I am making the voters think about the image a bit more...and then it may help some of them realise that things may not always be what they appear!! If that helps people vote correctly and learn in the process...then what harm am I doing?

Judi, I was joking! My jibe wasn't directed at you, it was mocking the ongoing frustration over voters who don't give reasons for their low scores. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Heh! That's a pretty darn clever trick, Judi! Sometimes the best shots are the unintentional ones. Very cool!

Did you swing the hammer intending to capture the bulb breaking but instead the hammer knocked the bulb loose, bounced out of the shot, and the bulb popped out landing on the concrete?

And we have a WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

wow - thought someone would've nailed it by now. I feel like we're stuck in that game - "The Incredible Machine".
You used the hammer to set off one of those construction nailguns (used to secure 2x4 framing into the ground) next to the lamp ?
