 Some couple playing with their phone on the lawns. Pretended I was taking pictures of my children feeding the squirrels nuts, just behind them. Artfully got the children to clamber through the bushes behind the couple to seek out the squirrels, so that these two wouldn't get suspicious. Took 4 shots, one of which they're both looking back over their shoulders at my children, which left 3 to decide between.

Taken with my really teeny lens, so I was virtually sitting on this guy's boots. Really need to get a new lens.

Thanks Bo, that's sweet. Woke up today and the sun is shining. There is a crisp fresh breeze. Had a page through some "big names'" portfolios again last night, and I saw that my scores are not that bad really. Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again. Tra la.

If it's any consolation I gave this photo a 7.

Nice shot..you actually get the feeling that these people are sharing a genuine moment on the phone. Only minor thought is that the focus could have been a little crisper
