Man, these are great pics, aren't they. Even a hint of a smile on Gretas face in appreciation!

I can see why, I'm guessing good memories

Go on Allan, you can pick as many as you like

Phil Robinson posted an image that he said was one of his favourites (I can see why) but had only just licensed for the first time. It got me thinking, I bet there are lots of fantastic images that for some reason have never licensed Maybe for us as photographers it was a favourite because it was a particularly difficult shot or it had some important personal meaning It would be great to see them.

My old football coach used to say that the only use my right foot got in a game was for standing on

I've now got this image of lots of different various people across the world squinting at a pot plant through their fingers 😄
