I actually like this take on the "smile" topic so I guess it must be your creativity shining through that has me wondering what you're up to next. Penny Street

You don't understand why I took the picy or why the bloke is smiling? Either way it's irrelevant as it's just a picy for the smile topic. If you want some meaning then as wiv most ahrt it's more fun to put your own meanings to a picy a...............Why is the Mona Lisa smiling:-)

I can see that, but I still don't understand why. Penny Street

Don't be baffled Penny there's a picy of a smiling bloke on the paper.............brilliant a:-)

I dunno Rod, flicking? Indeed. (hehe we all do it) Good find - I haven't been so sharp lately. -tv

Thanks Carole, Lydia, Tom & Doug:-) I was thinking of trying some different compositions but I needed the smily face to be easily seen & I wanted the whole paper in the picy. I don't think this has been in the gutter very long Lydia, it either fell out of the recycling bin when it was emptied or fell out of a car when some one opened the door to get out. We've had no rain for ages so it's maybe only been there a day or so, I think it would have made a more interesting picy if it was more weather beaten a.

A refreshing take on the subject Rod. Perfectly executed as well. -COAmature

It's certainly the right price! :) It's in excellent condition for being out in the elements this long. Congrats on your find. Now you can afford to take the Mrs.out to dinner. ~Lydia

Thanks for the 'non-breathing' type entry Rod. This would catch the eye in the 'land of no litter'. What's this chap so happy about I wonder?

I'm not so sure about the composition Rod, but the lighting and colors are great and the dude IS smiling! You should have PPed your own picy in there! :-D CJ

Thanks Suey, Debi, Aamm & DT:-) Yes we read the news first:-)

Actually Rod, I see you're one week behind. ;0

sue anne		02-Sep-2008 12:25
Good one and its neat to see you're a day ahead of me. Can you tell the future for me? :)

Rod		02-Sep-2008 11:46
Oh ye of little faith this is untouched by human hand:-) This is how I found the paper this morning, I pulled up to a house to do a job & walked around to the passenger side & opened the door to get me notepad . I looked down & this is wot I saw, the only thing I did was to flick a couple of leaves away from the smiling face. To be accurate Aamm it's not so much I dislike set up picys it's just that they are easier to do than found picys like this. So keep that in mind the next time you think the purveyor of a set up picy is a genius.
