CAPTAIN'S MIRROR PICS COMPETITION!
TOP 10 FAVES AND OVERALL WINNER!

It was difficult to choose the winner of this competition.... thanks to all who entered - sorry if you don't get a mention but we all had fun judging this one and really appreciate your efforts. There has been a fair bit of thought put into some of these pics and we hope you enjoyed it.

It IS fun using your camera in different ways isn't it.... maybe I should make a bit more of an effort myself instead of simply plonking myself in front of a buncha tourist locations next time I travel abroad? So what DOES make a good photo... and more specifically - a good MIRROR photo?

Composition... inventiveness..... cheek..... beauty..... stuff like that I reckon, so here are a few of the 'highly commended' entries with starting with No 10 and running down to the winner at the bottom.

Thanks again playmates, and I'm sure the lovely Anita will be getting in touch regards curry with the Damned / or some goodies in the post. I think the way we are going to do it is... if No1 can't make it to Manchester we'll offer it to No2, or then No3, etc. until we get someone who CAN attend. And if No1 can't make it he / she will get the parcel of Damned specific 'junk'.

10th) Me & Larry Lemur - a pic of some wild creature on the loose in the zoo... with one of the animals in the frame also, for good measure.

9th) Big eye in the kettle - eye eye... what's going on here (groan)

8th) Reflected In The Rear Wheel Of A Vintage Douglas Motorcycle - one for the bikers out there.

7th) On Reflection - nice steady shot for what must've been fairly zoomed in.

6th) Too close but two worlds away - There's something strangely magical about this one.

5th) Broken glass, compact and diamonds - this entry is a little piece of art. You could hang this one on your wall!

4th) Black is best - Classic chrome stuff.

3rd) With My Wife At the Palais Royal - a spectacular setting!

2nd) Mirrorball - the size of that darned thing... Mr Vanian would have liked one of them light up every
time he announced 'Disco Man'

1st) Awaiting Damned Claudia (Psychoactive color mix) Amanita - a wonderfully composed slice of fantasia. We liked this one a lot and it is the official (and rather psychedelic) WINNER!!
