The bridge is from Friday's shopping expedition - it carries a road over the railway and the river on the way into town and I just randomnly decided to take some shots of it on the way back to the garage and rather liked that one when I'd got them uploaded.
As ever, the random shots turn out better than anything I plan :)
Hee - I feel the same. I go and search for certain prompts and then I come back with a couple of other shots that prove just perfect for other prompts. Sometimes, that's really frustrating *g*
Fun though :) I rarely plan prompts, I admit - although I sometimes have a vague idea of what I'm aiming for, like the bird on the wire fence for "Free" - but when I do, they don't often turn out that well.
The bird on the wire fence was a fantastic composition. :)
I often plan my prompts and then don't live up to them. Often, other shots fit better and they get the spot, but it gets harder toward the end of a set. I have about 5 left of List 3 and I need to plan them or they'll never get done at all.
Thank you! I think that one was probably one of the few instances where the shot turned out as good as I'd hoped :) I should really take some crumbs for birdie and his friends next time I go to the zoo (Thursday, with luck!) :)

Oh doesn't it just! :) I suppose because the "obvious" and easy ones get filled first by their nature, so we're left with the harder ones (which will be different for everyone of course :))
Which reminds me, I notice that List 3 has "Damp" twice - was there ever a replacement listed for it do you know? I've looked and can't find it, but knowing me, I've probably stared right at it and not seen it :)
I suggested "Draft" for the second one and I think mav_fan thought it was a good idea but I don't know if it was ever official. I've just adopted it and now I'm stuck with it as one of those I can't fill. My own stupidity I guess.
It sounded possible to me. A fan with flowing ribbons, autumn leaves whiling down a street... I thought it was easy. But now the fan-times are long over and the autumn leaves are covered in frost *sigh* Maybe I'll just end up with an open window.

It does sound difficult, but then if it was easy there'd be no point :)
