They are fairly well trained, I walk them without leads normally. I did need the help from the mrs to keep their attention with some choccy drops :)
Awesome dogs just a shame they get such a bad reputation.

Anyway enough doggy geeking out lol

I think we should stick to the real things. I was about to go to take a picture of a real medieval castle. I did not like the "palm tree", the "zoo", the invisible river and the "dry" road.

I want to see impressive pictures like the submarine one for example.

But it is just my opinion.

Think we should put this one to a vote. I wont decide as it may appear  biased and to give others a chance I will forfeit the next 5 challenges. ;)  But you've got to admit. it is another dodgy picture :(

I admit a few of mine were iffy but we run the risk of this becoming a propper photo comp rather than an excuse to ride our bikes if we start a judging format and we already have a monthly comp.

How about if you win you can't enter the next x amount of challenges?

Guys lets not get too serious about this, its just a game. I'm only getting the photos because I'm out on the bike every day and just using my imagination. I even left this one 24 hours to give others a chance. I could get them as soon as they come out but I don't.

If you want to get one of the challenges, get your bike out, ride it, take pictures, and stop trying to be playground lawyers!

It says castle on it, it has battlements and a dungeon. What do you want in it, roundheads and Cavaliers?

Well if most of people is ok then I accept it.

But I still think it would be better to take proper pictures. If people who can ride the whole day take pictures like those and they are accepted they take the chances to people who want to ride the bike just to do it as soon as they can.

For example: there is an ancient castellated wall with a tower just in front of me. I could take the picture even without starting the engine. Nobody could have known it wasn't a real castle but I wanted it to be real so I waited until I had time to take the bike to a nearby town or somebody else could take a picture of another one.
