Ah, I've found one more. Three twigs here. BTW, great images, everyone. I've spent the last hour browsing through this thread - some are just unbelievable!

Wow, what a fun to see these postings, the red barns are wonderful! the wineglasses, even the tilted ones, the reflected poles and tree trees, all with so much fun to see them, and so inspiring. I've still one to go, and I have a idea, but I am searching for the object. Tree, one tree must be enough to, is'nt it? a tree is a tree? And August is'nt even on halfway, and now it takes me a whole evening to see them all. stunning tread!

Denise, Marka, Robert (Kiddego), James and Christo, welcome to the fun!

Betchick: Kim, welcome back, you seem to have been a little inactive.

I agree with you Cornelis! One of the greatest challenges I have joined in a year or so.

Thanks for telling me about it. After I posted the 'shrooms I remembered the photo of the 3 lady bugs I took just a few days ago. I guess I'll have to check the forums more often!

No,thank you ! for allowing my entries as they are not as wonderful as others they were last minute and running around the house and neighborhod lol
but I got to admit it was loads of fun and I do think it should go down as the very best idea for a challenge of fun idea in renderosity that I have ever participated in:
To PJ_that is wonderul love the three apples so bright and delicious looking ;
to all of you ,your entries are so creative great job!
what a bunch of great people:

MrsLubner ( ) posted Wed, 13 August 2008 at 2:06 PM

Frankman, Gotcha! Everything in that shot of three apples on a snail is real and so is the background. Its part of the walk up to my front door. The trick was in balancing the three apples (trick is my own for now) and then placing the lava stones in just the right manner to leave a small scoop underneath where I put the snail and then waited until he relaxed enough to poke out of the shell and start his escape.

Yup, that's how I did it! :-)

And 3s haunt me now...

Maybe you can all add to this list:
To the Third Power... (math)
Third Rock From The Sun (slang for "Earth" and also a retired TV show)

*add yours here...

(I don't mean this as a challenge - as in a forum challenge, because obviously, our Forum Challenge is the Power of 3s and it is about photography... I'm just curious who else is thinking about the different ways "3" is applied...so when you upload your photo here, just add what applies to the number 3, if that's ok with our dear Shari. Is it ok, Shari?)
