Don't talk rubish SS thats the same matt you know it we know it do we care no, both shots are nice and we would have been worse off without them (cheat)

I realise now that you weren't insinuating foul play - that was just my paranoia. You are correct that it's the same truck, parked in the same bit of road, in identical weather conditions, but that's as far as it goes. I spent a good while on the other picture waiting in vain for a breeze to stir the flags into life, and had to forget that idea. I submitted the picture. The following day I saw the truck, still bearing the mattress, but with a veritable gale threatening to rip the flags from their poles. Would have made a much better pic. Oh well.

Take it easy; I never meant to insinuate foul play, Smart Set – merely that an unfortunate error might have crept in. To err is only human, after all. It's just the trees looked so similar & all, as did the sky and the truck and the colour of the matt. My mistake entirely.

You can rest easy, Sleepeasy, and I can sleep easy, because these are different matts taken two days apart. This one is near the back of the truck and on top. You can see its pattern. The other is a different colour, plain, folded in half and stuffed down at the front of the truck. I have no wish or need to resort to sharp practice, and I'm surprised that you thought I might.

I don't wish to nitpick or anything, but I can't shake off the feeling that 'Flagged for Removal' is the reverse shot of this one. Could that be right? I think we should be told.
