Milk and Cookies
After everybodys kind words of encouragement concerning my amatuer attempts at photography on the other thread I thought I would post a couple more.

These were rather botched attempts from the same photo session that didn't turn out as I had planned.







These were taken today under the same conditions as yesterday, I wanted to be true to my beloved LV. How could you not love that rich emerald green?

Great photos, Jim - you've got a real talent there

The LV shots have come out really well - the green bezel and the the reflected green on the case in one of the photos is excellent.

Well done

Good looking green LV bezel.

Is that a "Y" serial LV? I just wondered because Rolex changed the green tint on the bezel after the "Y" serial.

It's starting to mildew around the outside..........

Nope Steve, she's a Zed!!!!!

Pics aren't manipulated...just taken on the macro function on my Canon 10 megapixel point and shoot.

Quite a nice bright morning so the green really shone out!
