Official BimmerPost Photo Contest #17: Beauty in the Mundane

You're all right. Here's the problem...I created a theme based around what WASN'T in my archive. Its so I have to go out and challenge myself to shoot something. So yes, that picture is both a poor example and a mediocre shot, but it was the best example I had on short notice.

I think there's been enough discussion. Some get it and some don't. The vote will settle things. The fact that the intent is not crystal clear will just add to the suspense. We'll see...

^ Agreed. Just let things play out. I still think it's a great theme.

I want that lens. I shot with the mark 1 on saturday, and it was amazing.
