Crackin' take on the theme Ryan
Many thanks for taking the time to comment everyone, as always its appreciated!
@HelenC yes it was quite blue although there were some wispy hazy clouds about which you can just about see. Probably should have gotten rid of them in post for a truly minimalist shot but they weren't really that obvious so I left them.

That's just bananas!
Nice one
Many thanks all!
Thanks Helen, I think the radius of the bend is within 2 degrees of the regulations but overall length might fall foul...Love the banana shot.. very well done. Just wondering why it's a bit close cropped at the bottom compared with the top? Also, does the bentness meet EU regulations?
It wasn't cropped there its just the edge of the black perspex stopped there and I had to shoot at a very low angle to get the banana to meet at such a small point. Probably could have workked on my angles and distances a bit more to give it more room or added some more space in post although I didn't really think about it until you pointed it out, back into photoshop I go....
Thanks Keith, I bought this one years ago for my daughter who was doing art at school and it is no longer available according to my purchase history link. It is just some generic light board though, googling A3 light board should have a lot of options.
My one has a black border with metric scales down the side and top which I wouldn't go for if I were to buy one again, the borderless ones I think would be much better for photographic purposes. Also look for stepless brightness/ dimming as it is helpful in getting exposures as its more adjustable. Also personally I wouldn't go for the ultra thin ones as the usb socket is sandwiched between the acrylic layers and is a weak spot on thin ones and where mine is wearing the most. Where the cable is looped over the side to keep it out of shots the very minor pressure is actually making the layers separate slightly.
Here is a version I was playing with last night in photoshop adding to the bent theme a bit.

No worries Keith.Thanks Ryan
Can anyone else see a bit of dolphins head on RHS
If it did end up in the wonky section I don't think I would be brave enough to eat it anyway... as for the dolphin now I can't un-see it.

A few arches from a Norwich walkabout yesterday.
The fountain in the the Plantation Garden, thought it was amazing but not sure my images do it justice.
One of the walls in the garden had some arches, really they were all over the place...
A dragon arching its back on the roof of our B&B
Also some oldies but some of my favourite arches shots from recent years.

Thanks all, it was fun to shoot at least from my perspective out of the 'rain'.

Weather - Nicely done, I fell behind a the challenge bit and this was one of the stand-out shots when I was scrolling through the pages of photos I hadn't seen.
Critters - Great shots, first one takes the biscuit. These put my efforts in the shade, what did you use to take it? And before you say it, yes, I know "a camera".
