The pictures are excellent Adrian, but I already knew that before looking at your portfolio. I'm not competent to comment on the design and effectiveness of your website as I've had no experience in setting up a site myself but it looks good to my inexpert eye.

Very good night photography. I wonder what the Shard looks like lit up at night?

I'm not a natural history photographer Alan but I must say these are really impressive.

Thanks for that.

Are you looking specifically for landscape/seascape silhouettes David or is the brief much wider than that? I got the impression from your introduction to the subject that sunsets, sun rises and wintery skies are the sort of thing you want.
I do silhouettes but not any in that category.

Quite agree. I have a version with the red light much brighter but I seem to have clicked on the wrong one to upload.

OK then Stan. One tiny red spot might get past the fashion police.

Glyn is a highly competent judge so he won't be influenced by anything we write here. Also its an unwritten rule that judges don't visit this thread once the entries start coming in.

[quote:3496ace15f="swarf"]..if I had known in advance that this was such a contentious subject, I probably wouldn't have posted it at all!

I'm glad you did post it. Nothing like honest debate, even if it gets slightly over heated sometimes, to increase our appreciation of photography.
Colour popping, like long exposure seascapes, have become a cliché as have views of the Lake District and close ups of flower heads. But the very best photographs of all these subjects when done expertly and artistically are well worth viewing.
I did a colour pop a few days ago and now I'm tempted to post it in the Forum before donning a tin hat and ducking behind the sofa.
