Thanks Aamm:-) Just bounced the flash off the ceiling.

I would've called it the "the morning after" :) Excellent light, mate.

I think it needs a tilt to the garbage can Tommy:-) Yes all the enjoyable packaging goes into our recycle bin.

This needs a little Cazanne-like tilt for the dishes to slide into the sink. Save the cans from the gargage disposal.

Thanks MC:-) I think I might have the operation then me kitchen will look a lot cleaner I bet:-)

I think these are the friends here and Rod just loves the unwashed kitchen utensil - Rod, you could be the perfect wife!

Thanks Carole, Brent & Christakis:-) You lot don't appreciate urbane ahrt. I should get another shot now as there's 3 days more dishes in the sink & I can't see out of the window now:-)

Where's pending when you need it??? ;-) Don't let Rod fool you Jill. I see 2 wine glasses for the 2 ladies and LOTS of beer cans for Rod and his friend! Well exposed Rod and good and sharp but........ ;-)

Well... To be honest, its not the best picture I've seen from you mate but it still has character. It looks genuine which I suppose it does so because it is. The exposure is spot on and the colours are very vivid. Those beer cans just beg for attention. I don't see why you would want to upgrade your camera when you can get pictures like these out of it. I really like your garden.

Well maybe your guests didn't help clean up because you only gave them one BBQ shrimp each Rod? I still remember Paul complaining about that after he visited you ;-) Anyway, where is Paul? I know he became an Olympus traitor, but now maybe you can talk him into entering these open challenges?
Anyway, fun interpretation of the topic mate. Hope you and guests all had fun and the cleanup wasn't too hard for Mereana in the morning :-)

Thanks Jill & Debi:-) Hehe, out of the can, I liked that:-) I think Brent & Daniel have dragged my reputation through the mud Jill as I'm really a mild mannered tea drinker.
After Daniel told me you girls like bad mannered heavy drinkers I have just been putting on an act.........hic:-)

Sorry Rod, slight amendment... Ernest says not out the 'box'... out the 'Can'.... :-)

I think this is a good interpretation - would have been more affectionate if they were doing the washing up though

Rod, I have come to expect the unexpested from you, from the sense of humour to this delightful twist on the subject...thinking out of the box...and well done.

No worries Penny as long as you don't get as mean as me:-)

sorry, Rod. That was meant to a facetious remark (mimicking your comment under my picy). I really do like this.

Thanks Penny & Daniel:-) This is called ahrtiiistic licence Penny but I do hope to gety some loving people picys this afternoon. I have to be a bit sneaky with my drinking Daniel as the missus keeps asking me "how many beers have you had" So I always divide the amount by two which keeps her happy. You will find four empty beer cans hidden in the two milk containers at the back left:-)

What a nice shot Rod!. Very good sharpness and lots of details here, I liked it. By the way, I noticed few beers, just nine or ten...Rod what happened here?. I could drink these just for my own...Daniel.

Nice one Rod the colorful clutter works really well here. I think for this topic seeing the friends would have worked a bit better though.
