The first picture is good but please edit that little white dot on the blokes chin, it glares out at me ![]() Love the effect on the second photo, wonder if it would work as well on other metallic objects. Monks on a bike... perfect for any caption competition. No idea what I could enter now, the standard is too high too early! (Maybe I'll just take a picture of some 18% grey card) |

Great picture Peter (Mertonia) I love it at as a shot but what got me was the fantastic interpretation of the theme. Good luck Rob |
||||||||
|

Thanks Rob for your kind comments - hope you will be entering the comp. too. peter |
||||||||

Cheers Jack... there's such a mix of interpretations so early on... John's boat stands out to me in this set so far. ... & just in case you thought that catching the driver like that was a lucky shot in a relaxed moment... ![]() ... taken 10 mins earlier going the other way... still eyes shut & exactly the same pose... mad!

Excellent shot James. I love the composition and so very striking.

Thanks Graham i was going to use the following image but thought the shoe one looked better as you said in its composition. Click for pic Your image has been changed to a link as it exceeded forum guidelines - please take the time to read the 'How to post Images etc' sticky at the top of this page which explains why file sizes have to be kept under 100k (102,400 bytes) and how to check them before and after posting - if you need further help, please ask before posting again - thanks, moderator |

Another good shot, but I prefer the one you have entered. |

Bradford Town Hall? Wash your mouth out, it's a City Hall! Town halls are only for the likes of L**ds!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
What a great shot Bradford (city) hall is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Apologies - simple human error! ![]() Anyway, hope the shot isn't as bad as my labelling! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

Recognise that pic Datawise... hope it does as well on here... great shot |

You've a better memory than I have, Ian ![]() I was sure I'd used this one:

The bright red LED's on a DVT camera which detects and rejects damaged cans on a fast canning line where I work, A very expensive piece of kit. |

I like this one Chris. if only the sky was not so well exposed. The colours and the composition are so good. It must be worth a consideration. Well Done! |

Great image there samsam, I think your in with a chance with your first post in months!
|

Another vote for Samsam. Super! |

I just had another look at the intro to this month's comp I quote -- >This months theme is "Colour" as used in shop signs, Ad boards, banners, general environment ......< I read this as implying the subjects should be man made objects, yet I notice a lot of natural items, mainly flowers, could we have some clarification. Cheers MIKE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I know what you mean, Mike, but I interprated "general environment" to include everything else, nature or man made. (Not that I've entered myself, yet). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I spend a lot of time in my garden so I include it as part of my general environment. My flower pic is from a rhodedenron currently in bloom in my back garden. If there were exclusions they should have been specified. Lisa.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
jchrisc ( Chris ) shot is very very good.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I agree with Lisa. There was no specifications as to what cannot be used. Yes there are many flowers but the idea of "Colour" with banners is that "Colour" draws one in. This is the same with flowers. It "catches your eye" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: When I made the suggestion I had in mind that images would be about man made subjects as well and was looking forward to seeing how people would interpret it. However, all the monthly competitions have a very wide remit so that everybody has a chance to enter. In the end it's Garry who will decide whether or not the entries fit the theme. Chris |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: That's exactly how I read it Mike but the term "general environment" leaves it open to wide interpretation and that is what Gary likes to see so I guess all those flowers do have a place ![]() Edit Ah! pipped to the post by one minute by the cool man himself!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

Now I'm all confused and my head hurds
|

Thank you kind sir. Taken late afternoon a few days ago - against the light to exploit the saturated translucency of these particular flowers. Sigma 180mm macro on a Canon 5D - tripod flat to the ground and angled to find a strong diagonal. |

Quote: Thanks! ![]() Only problem is, its dissapeared. I hosted the photo on the the gallery at the photoportal and the server there broke two days ago so its been down ever since - currently being fixed. Do you think I can get away with reposting the photo? - I'll host it at fotopic this time. Or, maybe someone with the ability to can edit my post (I'm now locked from editing it) and change the URL to http://images.fotopic.net/ynpjc7.jpg Pretty Please
|

Sorry about that - it's still not up yet. Interestingly, the server is owned by a programmer from Fotopic ... |

At lease FP hasn't gone bang too ![]() Where is the other PP Ian? I left the link at home... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Here ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
FP, PP! All you need is AP & B... With a little TLC, not too much GBH, and the occasional SWALK.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
TY for the tip
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
BTW Can anyone help me with my photo, its sods law the first time I've entered the gallery here my photo ends up not being included...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Sorted, Sam. Normally it only happens when I've put my entry on PP - not entered yet, though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
excellent, thank you so much ![]() When PP isn't broke anymore I'll expect to see an entry then...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If I could get round to taking one, I could post it at TOPP or even here. And I've got Fotopic, FlickR, AP Members' Gallery and even my own site as options - it's getting out and shooting that's proving tough!

... and drunks ... Meanwhile, in nearby Bolton, while on my brother's stag do some years ago, I was refused admission to a Yates Wine Lodge on dress code grounds. It seems my trousers looked like they might be jeans. My brother (who was wearing a blow-up doll) was allowed in though ... Yates Wine Lodge <shakes head in disbelief> - the kind of place you'd normally have to pay me to go in ... .. the bouncers just laughed when I told them I banked at Coutts ...

The best thing to come out of Bury is these little rascals. The 6oz ones are tuned for throwing at Yorkshire puddings, as detailed here. Even if you're not a Yorkshire pudding, but are of Yorkshire origin, I would run if I saw a Bury man heading in your direction clutching a handful of six-ouncers ...
