So .....if I had not restricted myself it would be No Tulips, No shirts and No flag...

Fortnightly competition #15: Fruit
Judith Ann - Nuts about fruit What a grand opening that was (even if the resubmission means it's the second contribution in the thread). That's what I call a lucky shot. This squirrel is certainly a very nice specimen and I like the slight blur in the paws from the movement. And there is some fru...

Fortnightly competition #15 - Comments
Thanks Martin. In fact the pears are rather tasteless sadly as we bought quite a few of them. I prefer Conference to whatever these are. It was damned hard getting a good focus on the apple, I guess the AF didn't like the red too much. Mike

RAW Challenge #2
As I understood the original post, the main idea was to show what could be 'pulled back' (washed out sky / dark shadows) from an original raw image. Even if the image is presented as a untouched JPEG a great deal of that information will be lost and it becomes as you say like a ePHOTOZINE exercise...

RAW Challenge #2
Ok, I didn't expect such a high number of entries (16 in total) - and I'm not the best at this judging business, I have thumbnailed each shot and tried to give constructive feedback as best I can. - Kemp - Well processed colour and tone and a different crop, good work pulling the detail in the ...

RAW challenge #3
Congratz Pete, they were all different and nice to look at to behonest. About my image, it was all done in lightroom 2.3 you have the same options as Adobe Raw converter 5.3 if you don't know lightroom. I didn't had the option to tonemap so couldn't do that, all was done within a raw converter s...

Fortnightly Competition # 16 "Art in the Community"
A slightly intimidating title but what I mean is any outdoor art (2D or 3D) in the public domain. So not inside a building and not located in a private back garden that is not accessible to the general public. This could be a piece of sculpture, a mural carved in brickwork or stone, a decorati...

Fortnightly Competition # 16 "Art in the Community"
Beatrice glanced back at Frank's house, her heart still racing after the close encounter with Frank's wife. Would she ever be more than "The Other Woman" in his life and how was she going to get home with nothing but one of Frank's towels to cover her modesty..? Taken 24-05-09 Aylesbury K...

Really great judging Hyram and congratulations to Lilly and all the other contestants. I loved Aiki's wall by the way, they must have been painting that for days! :) As for: Nice detailing but the difficulty with the photo, of course, is the obtrusive window on the Victorian house in the bac...

What a great topic; Open to lots of different interpretations. Had this come out last week I could have made my 1st competition entry, unfortunately cannot get back to what would have been a perfect location for a weeks. Oh well will have to wait for a more suitable time. Davex.
