Sometimes I find this type of photo editing a little annoying, but its perfect for this ad, identifying the
three colours of the winning jerseys perfectly.  So everything has its place.






I am very interested in pet photography, especially dogs, and I was interested to look at this Kennel Club Competition.

This weeks Sunday Times Spectrum were photos of the First World War.  It coincided with us watching War Horse on the TV sunday afternoon - very emotional.

This photo actually looks photoshopped - but it isn't ..
