Weekly Competition No 11 - "Solitude"
Sorry for keeping you all on tenterhooks, here's my judgment for the theme of 'Solitude'... I have to say, when I set the theme, I wasn't really sure what sort of image I was expecting to win. I suppose the classic wide landscape with lone person in the middle distance, obviously alone, not nece...

Weekly Competition No. 12 - "Hard and Soft"
Judgement day! niblue: Excellent start to the challenge. I like your interpretation of the theme. (Even the softest saddle can be perceived as rather hard on a long ride.) For me the crop is a little too tight, would have liked to see a little bit more on the left. On the top it seems you refra...

I've been away a lot this week and haven't had a chance to view a lot of the pictures until today, so here goes, There are some difficult decisions to be made as there are some cracking pictures this week. dirk1000 - at first look I thought you photographed an engineering drawing, maybe yo...

Weekly Competition No. 14 "MOTION"
I certainly seem to have chosen a popular subject, I do believe this must be a record number of entries, lucky me! :shock: After putting the rest of my life on hold I have managed to consider and analyse each entry, forgive me if I repeat myself a bit! I did give you a clue in ‘sock it to me...

Weekly Competition No. 14 "MOTION"
Wow - very surprised to win this one considering the quality of entry. Thanks to Lilly and others for their kind words. I've only won once before and both times I've been away on holiday at the time! I seem to have useable comms this time though (I'm in a campsite near Chester) and will be back i...

Weekly Competition No. 14 "MOTION"
Very worthy winner, well deserved, also a big pat on the back for Lilly, very well judged with astute critique and didn't keep us waiting long. My entry was one of two that I had of Rosie doing a pirouette, I may have chosen the wrong one :roll: I went for the one that had the better facial expr...

Weekly Competition No. 15 "Favourite Places"
I live in Swalmen now for about a year and a half, after having lived in Rotterdam and The Hague for about ten years. And I really like the relaxed atmosphere, but that is something for a different forum I guess. Back on topic now... :oops:

Weekly Competition No. 15 "Favourite Places"
As with many of the others a very tough competition to judge however here's my comments: gartmore I really like this shot, nice texture, composition and a touch of humour although the partial window on the left is perhaps slightly distracting. 3rd place Gwyn Looks like a nice place although I ...

Weekly Competition Number 16: Patterns
First of all let me say there was a good and varied selection of entries here. Some used interpretations of 'patterns' that I hadn't thought of (but which I found pleasing), and a few stretched my own criteria for 'patterns' a little too far. Due to the nature of the theme any suggestions I mak...

Weekly Competition Number 16: Patterns
Well done Gartmore, like the depth the pattern gives. In response to your comment Karma, I think the fencing on the left hand side does go out of focus due to the DOF. Though the pixel count may also contribute.

Weekly Competition #17: The Mark of Man
An absolutely cracking set of entries as usual and one that I’ve found very hard to judge, it is easier entering these competitions than it is judging them! I must say I began to worry when a few days had passed before anyone posted but ‘well done’ to you all and here goes… DIRK1000 An ethereal o...

Weekly Competition #17: The Mark of Man
NIBLUE A slightly different take on graffiti and a welcome change from colour and shot straight on. I’m slightly bothered by not being sure I’m supposed to look but perhaps this is the point. On a technical note, it doesn’t seem as sharp as it might be and I’m curious as to why you used a red filter...

Weekly Competition #17: The Mark of Man
HEFTY1 Despite your reservations this works well in monochrome and I like the use of the restricted depth of field to focus the eye but to my taste there just isn’t enough content. Incidentally, I’m intrigued by the transparency of those out of focus plants on the right. Me too! :lol: Not quite su...

Weekly Competition #17: The Mark of Man
Although I generally try to not add descriptive text. I do find myself guilty once in a while. I too prefer not to see a bunch of descriptive text that qualifies an image that might otherwise have little connection with the theme. Yet I prefer the whole thing to be less stringent and kept on a mo...

Weekly Competition #20 "My Day"
Galoot: Very funny, but not exactly what I was after, in focus tho’! John Riley: This just screams to me mono, John, which would have given it a more reportage feel, nice compo but point of focus seems to be on top of monitor and not their faces. GlynM: I appreciate it is your work place but t...
