Is this competition going to get a record number of entries? I count 52 entries at the moment and think the current record holder is Hyram with 56 entries for his brilliant windows competition.
I'm glad I'm not judging this one

I don't envy Steve this one, having not set any restrictive criteria.
He probably remembers the competition when it was in the Forum and only attracted Forum users but now it is in the Gallery, with a straightforward subject, the potential number of entries is huge

It always seems to me that street shots taken at long range with a telephoto lack engagement with your subject and the perspective flattens features. You really need to get in there but it's scary stuff. If we refer to HCB and almost every other street photographer of note I think we'll find that 50mm was the longest lens on film and more often 35mm.
Just my twopence worth to make the task even more daunting!

I was thinking about using the DA* 300 + 2X converter

I appreciate Aiki's entry more now.
Moral of the story :-
Don't submit competition entries late on Sunday night (Weekly Competition) or late afternoon on Wednesdays (Fortnightly Competition)

OK then who's posting Aiki a tube of Polo mints? The boots are Doc Martens classic workmen's boots adopted by the fashion industry many years ago but black is the classic colour.

................I wonder how much of that stuff you had to look up...................
For Mike's boots I initially guessed that they might be Doc Martens and then researched further.
I researched the pen but failed to identify it.
I failed on the Alvar Aalto glass vase, becuase I spent too long thinking it was shiny plastic
I do like to know the background information on what I am looking at and if necessary do the research online.
I hope to be able to make more constructive comments this way

But I do think the abstract route might have some mileage in it

From Yarmouth you can walk to the south side of the island, which is worth doing.
