Was No5 a simple conversion to B&W? I love the drama, but why has the roof edge to the right become exaggerated?

Techno, I prefer your second, cropped headshot to the tutors choice.
I think the distorted door adds something, but I am not sure if I like its contribution.

I have entered a picture which may be considered off-topic (but hey, I have history on that) and maybe it will encourage a wider interpretation?

Superbowl time again, and I am strangely fascinated by this bizarre amalgamation of sport and commerce. I read this week that a sizeable percentage of the American audience watch it simply for the advertisements (denied to us on the BBC), and the contrast with the first week of the our UK Six Nations rugby couldnt be greater, despite UK rugby and soccer now regularly using 'offense' to mean what we used to call attack.
I actually like the game, although I have yet to stay awake long enough to see it all live.
What do our American forum members make of it?

Good to have you back again George, it was becoming rather quiet....

The 600mm was sniped in the last second for £3,607.57 ...
Anyone from the forum?

A difficult one. Whilst I too have found that my wife can be relied on for a common sense response, and I know that she would have not been at all happy had I taken pictures in that situation.

Vicki, I have booked a place on the Hartland coastal photography walk.
Looks like a good deal for 4 hours with Ross Hoddinott (2009 British Wildlife Photographer of the Year). Heres hoping the weather will be conducive! Thanks for your help.

Hi Phil
I like your analogy between Pentax and the Apple Mac!
