 OK Apologies to evryone for not having expalined what pooh sticks where before, I just assumed everyone would know it

Poohsticks is a game from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

It is an extremely simple game, played on a bridge over a river. Each participant drops a stick on the upstream side of the bridge; the player whose stick first appears on the other side is the winner

Its a cool game to play especially with children (when I say with children I mean together with a child rather than throwing children off a bridge, Winnie the Pooh would NEVER sanction such behaviour) and brings back many happy memories

I like that game. Cool bridge and a wonderful blue sky.

I rather like the light in this photo, and the angle is inspired. Sorry this didn't finish higher, Jon. I hear you're tracking a better score in another challenge. :o)

Great leading line with the bridge. I also really like that the girls are in nice focus and what a great smile!

Would love to know what this title means. I guess I will have to be like the others and google it.

Love the lighting on the bridge and the blue sky. Great capture of the falling stick!

Not sure what the title is conveying - may be a cultural joke? Anyway, this image is suffering from lack of lighting. Much of the details are lost, and from the shake I can see I doubt you've used a tripod.

Difficult lighting conditions have lost you detail in the shadows which is a shame

No idea what your title means, hopefully I will find out after the challenge is over.

Great shot. I love the lighting and composition. I had to Wikipedia Pooh Sticks, btw. Learn something new every day!
