Good morning Doc, & thanks for the great competition & prompt & full judging.

Congrats to I-Berg for a beautiful, serene image, a worthy winner indeed.

Thanks, too, for the comments on my image, which, if I'm honest, I wasn't very confident about. I was not sure if such an interpretation of the subject would be "acceptable" here but I should have been more trusting in the frindliness & open-mindedness of you all on this site.
Many thanks for the encouragement, as ever!

Roger.

Andrew,
Lovely set again! What a great place England is!

I-berg, never fail to be driven into a frenzy with timber &, the coolest thing is, all we have to do is keep on planting.......& wait 100years odd!

Roger

Dear all,

Thanks for your kind comments.

Most pleasing you find the image(s) worthy of this Forum.

Best regards,

Roger.

Thanks, all, for the comments & the encouragement.

Best regards,

Roger.

Wildlife, an old cross & a new, oak cross, made by me for the memorial for an old friend.

Have you tried ANY crop that excludes the scientology sign?

David,

Wonderful images, beautiful colours, the "Seeing Eye" at its best, (digital) photography of the highest order!

(Just imagine how they would look if "appropriately displayed", a la Ansel Adams!!!)
Apologies for the subjectivity,

Coker.

It could be argued that none of our work on this forum is "necessarily displayed at its best" either.

So?

Coker

Good evening, Mat.

As a woodworker & naturalist of *(^^$£"")years, I find your images full of timber's strengths & its weaknesses.
That you capture those qualities with such elegance is inspiring.
The monochrome suits the subject v. well, in my opinion.

In "Timber Crumble", who's that figure standing left of centre, bottom third, admiring the cliff/quarry face?
(a bit like those psychiatrists' tests... what do you see in this picture?

Thanks for letting us see.

Coker.

A while ago now. Perhaps one to re-take with the K7 + 100 macro,
to compare & contrast...?
C&C welcome.
