Thanks Ken. I can still call you Ken can't I? ;^)

Wow! Worst one ever for me score wise. Oh well...it's funny, I couldn't get past the vision of kids at a desk, or card cheating so I wasn't going to enter. Then last day of the challenge deadline I was out in the yard dealing with these leaves, thinking to myself - thank goodness for this mulching machine. Then thought about how it was kind of taking the easy way out..bingo, cheating! Grabbed the camera and the rest is history. ;^)

Oh, if you come back to read this Jeannel (tpoc), there was 30 minutes of daylight left...can't get much later day sun than that. He-he.

Oh Chit! You got slapped in this one. Good photo, but probably a limited audience for the specific punch line. :)

okay, first i have to confess that i don't live in an area with lots of falling leaves, so:
i don't really get this. is the rake shadow the old-fashioned way and turning to new technology the cheating way? that's what i'm getting from this pic...

lovely colors in the leaves. would have liked to see this taken late in the afternoon for softer richer light.

The rake! I knew that someone is going to sneak the rake in this one! An extra point bump for the shadow of the rake

I like the 'look' of this photo so much that I wish you could have left out the yard machine. ;) (wouldn't have helped get the challenge across much, though.)
