A place to discuss, moan etc... about this weeks subject. I fully understand there could be a heated discussion about this theme, I just ask you to keep it civilised and respectful in regard to everyone's opinion.

Good luck,
Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.

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.

I've got an entire town up the road from me which fits the bill. (Ellesmere Port)

I'll have to find the time to get up there one evening.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

The only bit the EXIF got right with my picture was the centre weighted average metering. I wouldn't have a clue about how to operate such a lens as described here.
