I can understand that point of view but I would imagine quite a lot of our shots have a resemblance to another shot out there somewhere. So I think your missus was wrong suggesting you don't post it, but she is right about needing more closet space as the girls are only trying to look nice for us.............I think:-) Say Gday to her from me:-)

Yeah this was setup. I hope this doesnt hurt my scoring potential.

Yo Rod, after I took the pictures and began to work on the photos and decided on that one, my wife then pointed out that it reminded her of the other picture. I then pulled it up to compare, and didn't like the resemblance. So I didn't shoot it with Andrew's picture in mind. Very true about the gum being the focal point. I guess I can still submit it or replace this one. It was my first choice, but my wife talked me out of it (same way she talks me out of all the closet space).

Great "action" shot, blade! We all know this feeling and you have caught it well. Did you step on this gum on purpose for the shot or did you think to shoot it after it happened? Either way, good work! ~Sharon

I think Andrews shot has a totally different feel & I couldn't imagine anyone thinking yours was a copy. His shot has the shoe laces as a focal point yours is the gum, they're quite different shots I reckon. If you shot your shot with Andrews shot in mind then that’s OK too as you were inspired by his shot & made a shot of your own not a copy. So it’s still a big well done from me mate:-)

I like the linked shot a lot too, but it reminds me too much of this:

Yes I would have gone with the linked shot as it works a lot better for me. It's a ripper shot, well done blade.

This is funny Blade! Thank goodness it's only gum! Interesting idea, and it must have been tough shooting with one hand! :-) CJ
