Weekly competition no. 42 'Our House'
Dr. Munhi, I feel that you have grossly under-appreciated the extraordinary technical wizardry involved in the capture and post-processing of my image! (Well, it involved lying down on the living room floor and taking the pic. In post processing it needed a white balance adjustment, contrast adju...

Weekly competition no. 42 'Our House'
Thank you Dr Mhuni for appreciating my 'thinking outside of the box' effort, yes, did try a straight window approach but it didn't look so dynamic. Great judging and well done to Belinda (sit back and enjoy!) & IKRAR. I will post up the next challenge ASAP, gird your loins folks! :wink:

Weekly Competition No. 43: Local Shop & Keeper
Well thank you all for making the effort to contribute, seems you are a bit shy at approaching people, I am sure there were ample opportunities for great photos from where you all live, but I don’t seem to have many shopkeepers amongst the entries. Aas certain entries have shown, it is possible to c...

Weekly Competition No. 43: Local Shop & Keeper
Tony, I cannot believe you could not have got a nice Roman store nearby where you live, there must be so much material there, perhaps you were too busy, yet Josh from Wales gives me Rome! An English store minus keeper does not count again. I'm in England at present staying with my parents (which is...

Competition no. 44 'Rain'
I have to congratulate everyone on what was a very strong set of submissions – the best I have seen so far, I think. In fact – despite my judging responsibilities – it would have been nice if there’d been more entries. Unfortunately, sod’s law seems to have been in operation in that this appears to ...

Weekly Competition No. 45: "Blue"
Thanks for all the great submissions. I don’t know a lot of technical stuff on which to judge, so I will have to lean mostly on how the photo grabs me, what it makes me feel/think, and if the use of blue is dominant and makes sense (and hopefully evocative and creative). I appreciate those who wen...

Weekly Competition No. 45: "Blue"
Excellent comments, well thought out. Regarding the blue cow lamp stand... I wish I had time to take more photos and do something more artistic at times. We were on tour and I had barely enough time to grab a quick moment to get this photo. Generally, I tried to keep the painted cows out of mo...

Weekly Competition No. 46: Public Transport
OK, here we go. The final chapter of competition round 46: The Pup: Railway Sleepers: A good catch. The boredom of traveling exposed well. The yellow bar almost divides the scene in two seperate pictures. The backpacker makes the overall scene. Just looking at him, makes you wonder were he was, ...

Weekly Competition No. 46: Public Transport
Well done to the winners, I Seriously don't know what I'd do if I ever won one of these weekly comps, as I know I couldn't do nearly as good a job of judging! Just have to say, that 'Kid' is my son, and was initially the focus of my pics until the sleeping backpackers friend came and started ta...

Weekly Competition #47 Sea and Shore
Daniel Bridge A terrific idea with the smiling rock got us off to a running start. The background is too much for me and cutting that out to concentrate on the rock would make the image more powerful. Deecy A nice view that needs just a bit more attention. The brightest part is the top left backg...

Weekly Competition #47 Sea and Shore
Thank you so much for the comments - and Congratulations to the winner! The anchor and chain shot was taken not long after getting the K10D so I completely accept the comments about focusing. In all honesty back then I didn't really know what I was doing! Thanks again! :D

Weekly Competition #48 "Tools Of The Trade"
Tools of the trade critique First of all I’d like to say thank you to all who entered, it’s been very interesting to view all the entries and think about what I like about each of them. It’s been quite difficult to analyse the pictures at times. It’s quite easy to say “I like that”, or otherwis...

Weekly Competition No.49 DECAY & DERELICTION
No49 Decay & Dereliction I am a bit sad that my top three are all colour, but thanks everyone for having a go, not an easy subject, it has been an interesting journey! NATHAN: I presume this is Highgate cemetery, I place I have always wanted to visit. Great subject and atmospheric, a nice ...

Weekly Competition No.49 DECAY & DERELICTION
Congratulations to Amoringello and thank you to Lilly for the judging. No49 Decay & Dereliction BELINDA: Flash again used? To me is spoils the atmosphere of potentially a great subject. The eye is drawn downwards to the over bright area. With a tripod and careful exposure it would look mo...

Weekly Competition #50 "On Ice"
Well, you'all certainly did not make this easy on me, but here it goes.... 01 - justgetoutandride: Nice and icy. The frozen over pond almost looks like ice crystals up close. I like the reflection of the blue sky. But the image could use a stronger point of focus. i.e. I find myself looking all...

Weekly Competition #50 "On Ice"
02 - yelvertoft: This is the sort of image I had in the back of my mind. Cool and refreshing.Nice exposure and I like the background light subtle but enough to separate the background. Although I think the image is a bit flat (but I think that is the nature of ice) . There is some sensor or backdrop...

Weekly Competition #51 "The Street"
Roll of drums, fanfare of trumpets: Ikillrocknroll A well crafted monochrome image, I like the composition and the rich blacks particularly. There is humour in the interaction between man and machine with their articlated arms but somehow, for me, there is some spark missing. Maybe if the man ...

Congratulations to the winners and the judge. As others have mentioned - no need to apologise. However, with all due respect to Gartmore and with no detraction from his judgement, I can't see the merit in an image of the back of a bald head. What am I missing :?: :( :( Nonetheless I en...
