It is getting hard to think of a subject!
I would like to see something from an unusual viewpoint. That could be a set up “mystery object “ type shot or a landscape avoiding the cliche shots.
See what you can do and have fun.

Closing date 16th March (nearly spring).

OOPS!!
I have just spotted that I have repeated Chris's theme from September.
That's what happens when you do things when you are busy and distracted.

Not to worry, we can find some more unusual angles!

Things Go Better With Coca-Cola, a different view on a Sustaining and Refreshing whisky glass containing the amber fluid. To make the experience complete, some music to go with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67L96hIJ68s

Quality rather than quantity but I guess that is what happens when the subject gets repeated (oops!).

Four good images so I will pick my favourite.

I will try not to deduct points for inflicting a Four Seasons jingle but I can't ignore the suggestion that Coca Cola is an acceptable amber fluid to go in a whisky glass - there is only one amber fluid for a whisky glass!!!

Mel has set a secondary challenge to identify the object - looks like a metallic gear mechanism of some sort. Quite small judging from the texture marks. Knowing Mel I am going to guess a guitar machine head.

The bridge is full of lovely detail and the cactus has a wonderful bright feel and I especially like the bent spines on the right.

Overall I am giving the victory to Graham.


Over to you. (Tip: have a quick look at the list of recent subjects!!!!!)

Thanks Gordon! Would Jack Daniels be acceptable in the whisky glass?

John asked "Would Jack Daniels be acceptable in the whisky glass?"

I could tolerate a bourbon in the glass as long as I don't have to drink it. We went to the Manchester Whisky festival and a young friend of ours approached the specialist bourbon producer and asked "I like Jack Daniels and coke, where should I go next?" and received the answer "outside".

In this house the amber liquid (some of it very pale amber) would be a single malt from Scotland, Wales or Japan.
