Nice!

I like how clear most of the keys are even with a macro shot

Nature's polka-dots!

Um, no offence author, but usually when you take a shot like this, it just lacks the artistic point of view. A photo like this is more like documenting, as is you were gathering evidence for a crime scene. My suggestion is try re-shooting but do it from different angles.

Once again author, I'm not trying to discredit you but suggest a better way to make the subject more artistic. GL!

Dead right, jaws! Altogether flat and insignificant! I just took the pain of going downtown and having this thing photographed, then stupidly enough I thought it wise to upload it here. What's fair, is fair

Ok, so this time, go back downtown (not today but whenever) and this time try to get a focus on a slot at different angles. Shoot looking up. Shoot looking down. Try to focus your subject to the left or right of the frame and create a rule of 1/3rds would be a good idea too, especially if you can get people in the background actually using the machines. I just figure, if you are down there, you mine as well shoot it at every angle you can think of.

Still holding my vote. GL!

OK, I'll give it a try, providing the convenience store lady won't chase me away.

Good advice! I know I have been helped tremendously by advice from Jaws and others on this site.

cool shot author...gl

LOL>... creative...but based on theme?

they are.. brothers lol

the contest guide says biological brothers......... if they are brothers, then it is on theme.

You would need a DNA test to tell for sure GL!

The color of the water is so inviting!!!

Ahhhh...I wish I was there now. Beautiful.

Now, THAT'S luxury! That beautiful house in its own private (gorgeous) cove, with your large catamaran moored off shore... droooool Where is that, anyway?

kyricom: love to see your comments When the contest's over I will tell you where it is

Oh NO! You Can't Keep us in suspense like this.. if you own it I need to borrow it for like... 100 years. I promise I'll give it back... oh yea and make sure the bills are paid

Unfortunately I don't own this place but I spend my vacations there. The bay is a wild place, the house is owned by one family and the boat belongs to someone else. But all three elements make such a beautiful set. It is so quiet and peaceful with no souvenir shops and discos an very few tourists.
No, I won't tell you where it is (at least now now). I want to keep it for myself.
"It is mine. My preccciousssss"

Yes - I keep asking them not to park the boat there
