None of yours?

Sorry to ask, but which ones are not cylinders?

Why is that important?
You asked for an example - I posted a link to several.
I've already clarified that my idea was for hollow objects not solid objects, cylinders or otherwise.

I also mentioned that it's no big deal and Sara's image is fine.
May I suggest we move on... I see no good purpose in debating these things.

Well, your request was for "Multiple Tubes (not cylinders)", and I was just curious to see an example. That's all ...

... and oh, I know you don't like to debate these things...

*** Anyway, never mind!

All these beers make me thirsty:

Z is for Zipfer beer (in Innsbruck, Austria)

So let me add mine to the table (where the brand is the maiden name of my better half, pure serendipity, no relation unfortunately):

sarasphotos · January 20, 2016

The sight of beer always makes me thirsty too, and I have many photos of beer in my collection. One of the things that has always fascinated me here in Europe is the culture of different shaped beer glasses for different beers and the often detailed and interesting brewery logos that are printed on the glasses. Naturally I'm also very interested in testing the contents...

Cheers, Sara

This is the picture URL (with one added space, so it doesn't show up as a link):
http: //www.denisegoldberg.com/Travel-stories/Wandering-assisted-by-2-feet/i-fCzKhg4/0/X2/201510_XT1_3078L-X2.jpg

You can change the size by changing the picture URL, replace the bolded X2 (see above, but can also be an O, XL, X1 or X3) by M or S (and be careful to leave all the rest exactly the same). That will make the same picture show up a lot smaller.

M:

S:

Thank you!

I only know how to make a picture smaller if it is on a smugmug site.

When you do a reply with quote, you will see something like this:

The size of the image is in the statement twice (bolded). Change both of those sizes to something else. You can use a standard size (like S for Small), or you can use a custom size. I often use a custom size, like this:
http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Travel-stories/Wandering-assisted-by-2-feet/i-fCzKhg4/0/250x250/201510_XT1_3078L-250x250.jpg

In case you haven't played with custom sizes before, this might help - http://help.smugmug.com/customer/en/portal/articles/93264-can-i-make-custom-display-sizes-.

My experience is you only need to change the first "X2" or other character. The second one in the URL link doesn't seem to be required.

Denise, pegelli,
Thanks a lot for the help!!

Next: Water droplets on a glass surface, caused by condensation

I made this request above for the next subject on the shapes challenge, but seeing that nobody replied, I'm assuming that somehow my explanation was not good enough... <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/rolleyes1.gif" border="0" alt="" >

I actually wanted to continue the "beer" idea

with something like this:
<a href="http://www.travelwaysphotos.com/Pictures-of-Spain/Sagunto/i-f3xDxLr/A"><img src="http://www.travelwaysphotos.com/Pictures-of-Spain/Sagunto/i-f3xDxLr/7/S/bier copy-S.jpg" alt=""></a>

Now, it is not necessary to be beer... it can be any kind of cold drink that produces condensation on the outside of the glass.

If it's not feasible, please let me know and I will change.

give me a few minutes... I'm still looking...

Thank you!

I didn't think I had any roofs or buildings that fit, and then I remembered the butterflies!

Are these buildings of the Thames barrier fin shaped enough?

In the spirit of moving on I will accept these as fin-shaped.

Sorry, I know that was a tough one!

Please let me know if there is any objection

pegelli · January 22, 2016

I like your mandala shape a lot, so from me no objection (pls. see this as input and not as a final verdict, I'm not qualified for that).

For the next challenge I'm wondering, do you want a fish tale or a fish tail?

You wrote the former, but I think you mean the latter.

OMG: fish tail, sure - I'm so sorry!!!

I'm not sure... is this a new rule now - to ask for approval on every post???

Thanks!
You can't go wrong with Peacocks... they are so shiny and colorful.

The Mandala looks wonderful... and I've never suggested nor asked for "approvals" - only offered occasional comments like most of the folks playing this game.
Carry on and have fun!
