Re: The all new Photography thread - post your best efforts
I'd welcome any genuine comments about the eagle & castle shots. I hope you don't mind, but I had a quick play with your castle photo. IMO shots into the sun are difficult and can be flat (unless you're aiming for a straight silhouette). A bit of PP can bring them to life. The shot itself is very n...

Re: Is Quade Cooper still better than Dan Carter?
I heard Carter is too scared to face him, and has begged to be selected at inside centre for the match.
Mainly I just hope Cooper doesn't get too angry with McCheat's illegal play at the ruck and, in a fit of rage, unleashes the right canon.
A suspension for on-field murder wouldn't do.
