Yep didn't Barrie do well. DPS has more than 120 members and there are some cracking photographers among them.

There is a bright red Nikon SLR. I don't know what model it is but I've seen several at different events I've been too such as Pickering Steam Fair and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Like the seals Gary. Then plane shooting flares must have been a bonus for you. Hope it didn't scare off the seals.

The power station and the squirrel in the bin for me too. A great set Simon but just one minor point. The Big Ben clock face is almost burned out. There is enough detail in there for you to easily rescue the detail.

I get irritated when people fail to grasp the rules when they enter the competitions. There's no excuse for not doing so, even for a newbie to the site.
We were all newbies once and entered our first competitions at some point but we didn't all fail to follow the rules.
Having said that I've also been guilty of paying insufficient attention to the judge's brief.
In AndrewA's recent competition for The Sun, I had chosen my entry and pressed the enter button after just scanning through Andrew's brief. When it was too late I read it properly and discovered Andrew wasn't merely looking for sunlight, he wanted to see the orb of the sun in entries.

Super birthday present David and these images from it are first class. The light was obviously very low but you've captured the atmosphere of that magical location perfectly. What ISO were you were using?
Now I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your excellent photos from your new toy.
I've been to Stokesay a few times myself.

This week's subject is Windows. We've had the subject previously but not recently and its a wide enough brief to engage many photographers. Keep them interesting.
Rules: They must be taken on Pentax cameras or their closely related clones.
Deadline midnight next Sunday.
The winner: is expected to set the following week's topic, judge the entries and offer helpful comments on each image.

We've recently lost a very skilled and experienced tog from this site, someone who contributed heavily in terms of both images and forum posts and I'm sure a lot of us have learned a lot from him.
As I said above, we all need to be big and brave enough to accept the views and opinions of others on our work. The Gallery does not achieve this because it does not attract constructive criticism, we need to make sure the Forum does not go down this route.

Gary,I agree with David. It would be regrettable if one spat like this discouraged you from all future comments.cabstar wrote:

I really hope that when you have more time to reflect Gary that you reconsider your decision above. This site and forum can ill afford to lose the opinions of experienced photographers such as yourself - we all need to learn from the best.I have decided I am not going to offer criticism anymore on this forum.
