I often have a spare photo up my sleeve in case I can't come up with anything better for the Salon. This time round it was this shot of a potters hands creating his pot. Anyway in the end it got rejected and I decided on a diffeent interpretation :D
Anyone care to show us their Salon Rejects :D

Well I wish my rejects looked like that, oh well maybe one day.

Haha, there is nothing in that shot that anyone else couldn't do though. It was taken in a shop in Sienna, Tuscany iirc, I just pointed the camera and fired, even a phone camera could do it :)

Do you really wanna see a load of rubbish shots, or even one rubbish shot that might have been left behind when I binned most of the folder?
Tough luck if you do 'cos I ain't gonna show any of them that remain.:D

I had to smile at that bow-shot. Recommend one that produces that quality and I'll buy one tomorrow. :D
Considered for all of a minute ... not enough work content.
A story with this one.....over a period of 13 days I had taken dozens of shots daily of my garden being transformed from a wilderness by pro landscapers.
3 days before they had finished I booted up to upload some more and every single pic had gone awol. In addition to those hundreds of other shots had gone. The puter was a mess and it took a complete format to put things right. Needless to say all the images were lost and none of the recovery sofware progs could find em. I went around like a bear with a sore head for a few days.

Pops,I would have been gutted too. I'm getting paranoid about losing stuff these days, so much so I've just invested in a new backup proggy and its all backed up to an external drive.
I'd really, really wanted the sand running through fingers, which I eventually managed to get. However, it was during a spell of relentless stormy weather and there wasn't any dry sand on the beach - so I wandered over the dunes and took a few shots there just in case I didn't have time to set up a few table-top ideas I'd been mulling over.
My husband finally managed to find some dry sand some distance along the beach, dry as it had been sheltered under the entrance to one of the beach cafes. There was only a very small amount of dry sand in a tight space but we finally managed to get some of it running as I'd wanted ..... so that's where we did the shot I finally entered in the salon.
Here's one of the dune shots I had kept as a 'emergency last resort entry' for the Timeless salon. (Landscape definitely ain't my forte and it shows! :D )
