I took GP1657 to Kendal to visit the 1657 Chocolate shop - needed to get some running in miles on it plus needed some chocolate.
Damned pigeons are everywhere, I could not get the sign out of the shot!!!

just as an aside, I notice at least one pic floating on the header has the photographers name and copyright. That to me seems quite distracting and completely uneccesary, a 700*105 pixel image is unlikely to have commercial value anywhere else, can't we work on the assumption that we are handing over unrestricted rights to mini2, maybe there can be a page of artist credits somewhere else on the site?

anyway,a couple more from me, I think the first one here captures the theme well, taken in front of the National Museum of Australia...

Sorry about the delay with the winner from last month. Long story.

Anyway, the winner is (was)....

Grand_Cru, with this image (link): http://www.mini2.com/images/headerimages/grand_cru.jpg

Because, well, it looked good and was pretty unusual too.

There really were many more top quality entries than we expected, so well done everyone and thanks very much for supporting this idea!

And some good stuff already this month too. Brilliant.

Apologies again for the delay in announcing the winner for last month!

Paul

grand_cru · Oct 24th, 2006, 08:57 PM

Well, that 's nice, and thanks to the jury and Paul for choosing one of my wheel-pics. Great guys

Last month I was rather actively participating, but this month I can 't find any good inspiration and/or pics in my collection

Why not a bit of explanation about this pic: the dirty Dunlop runflat was pictured almost "macro" to obtain a maximum sharpness/depth of field. So creating the special "left-to-right sharpness" effect.

SoggyCornFlakes · Oct 24th, 2006, 08:58 PM

Well done

So do we celebrate with Belgian beer

Sorry, going of topic but is it true you 're thinking of (Belgian) beer all day Soggs???

Jirrupin · Oct 25th, 2006, 04:23 AM

What about a shot with an old Mini in front of the old Parliament House, and a new MINI in front of the new Parliamnet House?

ScottyB · Oct 25th, 2006, 05:27 AM

Good idea, I'll do it if you can find someone with a classic mini to come out for a shoot!

Paul · Oct 29th, 2006, 10:29 AM

Roll up roll up folks, not long to go before this one closes!

Paul · Oct 29th, 2006, 10:33 AM

Also, I made an error and the size is 750 x 105, not 700. Don't worry if you've already entered a 700, we can work on that one if you win, but from now on 750 pixel width is required!

Thanks.

Paul

ONED · Oct 29th, 2006, 11:06 AM

I thought it was closed?

Which month?

...and what is the theme?

Paul · Oct 29th, 2006, 11:10 AM

Read the first post, and it's October now, has been for nearly a month.

ONED · Oct 29th, 2006, 11:16 AM

Just a bit confusing Paul.

I had already read through the whole thing....saw that the theme was Architechure....and then the winner is anounced.....and it's a wheel (very nice too)

.....will have a dig through my stuff anyway

Indeed, noticed my contri was a bit too small when I first saw it as a header. Think it has allready been fixed (stretched

) now. Just give me a sign when you need the weel in a larger format Paul.

Grtz.
