<p>Hi fellow Pentaxians (not sure that's in a dictionary anywhere).</p>

<p>Wow! We sure had a lot of activity last week. Some really fantastic images there and fantastic discussions.</p>

<p>Regarding the 'number of images' discussion. We had once agreed to 3, but 4 seems perfectly fine. But I'm not going to shout at anyone who occasional go over, especially if the story drives more images. Of course, like Haig showed, sometimes that leads to a good time to start your own thread.</p>

<p>I'm still working through my Western Australia images (meaning the term is so busy I hardly have time to catch a breath)<br /> My first image is out in Millstream National Park. It's hard sometime to get a sence of how isolated you can get in Australia. When I took this photo, along a road, mind you, I didn't see any people for two days. (All images with K3)</p>

<p>Terrific POW last week. I haven't seen that kind of participation in the Pentax Forum since 2008. It also puts me on the hook to contribute as to not let fellow Pentaxians down. A few images that stood out: Haig's "Hummingbird" wowed us all. Matt's "Sunrise" was an outstanding capture. Howard's 'Sunglasses" series continues to be interesting as is captures what others see. Dave - Clara has grown up since you first posted her sports shots years ago - time passes too quickly. Here are three shots from this week: </p><div></div>

<p>One evening after work last week I could see things coming together for this shot or something like it so I took the truck up the 4x4 trail as quickly as I reasonably could and it paid off. Great show of light and color. <br>

<p>@ L Mar : if your picture is presented like this on purpose, then I do not understand.<br />More likely something went wrong.<br>

How would you yourself rate the photo ?</p>
