Hanging out the washing... I'll do anything to get out of it... even lying on my back in dewy grass on a mission to enter the monthly contest/challenge for the first time in a while! This is a potential (probable) entry...comments welcome. :-)>

Nice shot Cam like the diagonal lines and the bright high light. Not sure about the sunrays, If you have added them, I would look at rotating them, they are a bit straight up. Perhaps fading them before they reach the base of the frame. Dont know if this would be better but they look a little contrived. Great idea, Hope thats not your shreadys up there. LOL :O)

Yea, the POV makes a shot, and this one has it for sure. The sunrays though, although probably natural, are just a bit distracting to me. If it were mine, I'd play around with them just a bit. Not take them out mind you, but back them off somehow.

Hopefully, 'Chelle, this was clean laundry! Miss the fresh smell of clothes dried in the breese. "shreadys" must be another of those 'stralian words, eh? Neat idea for the shot. Maybe let some light shine through the hanging cloth?

Shreadys > kegs > Pants. Come on there's got to be loads :O)

LOL Jeff...I have quite a few English friends, but that paticular term must have slipped past me! Thanks for the feedback on the image peoples...the sunrays are a natural artifact, but I agree with the previous comments, I feel they should be toned down or changed in someway...hopefully I'll have time to fiddle with my "shreadys" before the deadline! ;-)>
