I like it, great detail and interesting as always, not so keen on the circular border, but its different I guess.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Fantastic David. Just love it. I'm just worried if I get an invite for dinner what the meat course might be after seeing the state of your veggies :razz: :wink:

What a load of chit! :biggrin:
No, being serious though, it is a cracking shot of yet another unusual subject. Keep 'em coming David. :jump:

Isnt there suposed to be a (C) in front of pix of anything captive, to my mind both this spud pic and the rotten carrot pic are both breaking the rules , how about it mods ?.

Get it signed up as an alien for the new series of Doctor Who. Great shot, I've never seen anything like it.

top marks for originality yet again David. I'm not overly keen on the circular shape but a very well executed shot.

Wierd, but very good. I would think this species is found in many a students food cupboard :biggrin: :toast:

Another excellent shot David :smile:

Not too keen on the round frame though
:razz:

Thanks folks for your encouraging remarks. I'd thought I try and get away from the four-sided format
and try something different for a change.

Bob, I was going to put a 'C' then I thought better because (1) It is obvious to anyone that it is not wild
at least here in the UK, I don't live in South America, and (2) It might be confused with 'Culinary' :biggrin: :wink:

Maggie, I'm told I'm quite a good cook. :biggrin:

Thanks Craig, I could be better. :eek: :wavey:

...? Where are you going with this.. It doesn't do anything for me at all, sorry but each to their own I guess and the framing doesn't help IMHO.

Wherever it takes me Brett. :eek: :biggrin: :wink: I'm sorry it doesn't float your boat, but hey, if that is the price of trying to do something different and step off the road to banality, then I will gladly pay it. :wavey:
