 Ok, if you're complaining that this has nothing whatsoever to do with apples, you're absolutely right. But have no fear – I used to be just like you. Those winning photos with their tenuously linked titles! GRRRRR!!!

But then one day I thought to myself - ok, complaining isn't really going to affect anything. They're still nice photos. I'm sure we've all taken pics we liked and thought, "But oh, if only this was the subject of that challenge. I know! I'll link it through the title!"

So I thought why not have a bit of fun. I'm not expecting this photo to win anything here. But it'll be interesting to see the comments that are made during voting. The number of complainants vs those who have a bit of a laugh.

Anyway, I took this the other night. I thought the angle and perspective made it look like a model rather than a hundred-metre high building. The lighter areas are awash with moonlight. The shiny frame in the lower centre is the centre of the moon's reflection.

Oh and just for the record – I was enjoying one of Granny Smith's finest while setting up ;)

Cheers
SB

Alas, the link is so tenuous that I can't find it.

I don't understand whats going on here and how it relates to apples?
 02/12/2009 08:21:27 PM
Sorry doesn't work for me

Somehow, don't think this meets the challenge. Pity, interesting photo.

I don't get the link to the challenge. I am sure you will be getting many comments like this. So one more - DNMC.

A tenuous link to the topic ??
 02/12/2009 04:04:02 PM
sorry, I don't get this...

Titles should not have to link your photo to the challenge. too much of a stretch. DNMC.

Cant see an apple?
 02/11/2009 05:34:54 PM
Cool shot, but apple?
 02/11/2009 05:32:52 PM
Must be a very tenuous link, because I am looking hard and I cant figure out how this connects to the topic. Looks like the side of a building. It could also be a fabrication line for intel chips, which are used in Apple computers. Idunno... I'm confused, but I think you intended for that.
 02/11/2009 07:10:24 AM
what?
 02/11/2009 07:02:33 AM
I'm trying hard to see apple here, but it's not coming to me...
 02/11/2009 06:18:58 AM
what??????????i disagree
 02/10/2009 10:53:17 PM
Clearly too tenuous for me to grasp!
