I thought this time we would concentrate on photos of doubles, pairs, twins, 'Two of a Kind". Shots of matching pairs of anything. Best of luck to all and good shooting.

I will close this one on 30th April, being last day of April. I will do that USA time give or take a couple of hours.

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Lets all get involved, and most importantly, have fun.

Bruce.

The last time I was on the moon I happended to have my K20D...

That's why I asked about the footprint shot before as it looked like gray moon dust instead of white snow :-)

Sorry, not this time, hard enough to judge these now without double the number

[MSL]

Damn my secret is out - I am really a cosmonaut studying the Alberta Tar Sands so we can harvest the natural resources of the moon
