June Photo Competition - "The View from my Window"

enumbers

Given that the question is set by the winner of the previous month's competition and that is the only reward they get, I think it only fair to have a decent go at interpreting the title in the spirit in which it is set. If you had won you would want people to do this I am sure.

In fact if you find the opening post by the winner you will see that there is quite a flexible alternative approach suggested there.
 
This goes on outside my window a lot during the summer months.
These are the local kids. On the last day of term the students have a go too.

Excuse the quality of the first two as i didn't have time to open the window:

Just to add flavour:
Leaping from bridge 1


Entries:
The view through my dirty window
Preaching to his worshipers!
Star jump!

Do I get any added points for having to convince them to give me permission to photograph them?
They thought I was doing it to provide the police with evidence and threatened to put my windows through at first.

I'd say interpretation of the theme is what it's all about.....

Yes, but...

I think if you interpret the theme as 'any picture taken with my camera' then you don't really have a theme any more.

The subject is blue. I was wearing a blue hat at the time I took this pic of a red traffic cone, does that count?

There is stretching a theme and then there is s...t...rrrrr...e...t...c...h...i...n...g a theme beyond belief.
 
Scoring System

Hi
thanks for all your entries - I'm really pleased people are giving this tricky subject a good go.

As I'm likely to be adding up the scores this month, I'm wondering if it's only me that's confused by how some people vote: if you put
1 photo X
2 photo Y
3 photo Z
Do you mean "1 point for photo X", or "photo X is in 1st place", ie 3 points?

I'd read that as 1 = 1st place = 3 points, 2 = 2nd place = 2 points, 3 = 3rd place = 1 point. I reckon most people rank them by favourite rather than by how many points they are awarding. Could be wrong, but that's how I've always seen it.

you are ray mears and i claim my £5

I'm gutted !!! That's the second deer I've seen in my front garden since I moved here 4 years ago. I bought a Nikon D200 and a stack load of lenses etc and everything but the compact flash cards has arrived so I had to take the shot with my point 'n' shoot :(

Still, it isn't all about winning the photo competition, it's all about what you see outside your window ;)
