Water fowl joke!! (what a foul joke.... get it??)

Don't worry I'm not giving up the day job just yet!

My favourites have to be Centre, Branch & King. My reasons for these are simple:

Centre - This shot reminds me of a book cover I once saw whilst studying Graphic Design at college. I like the composition, making a very ordinary boring building into a modern abstract artwork.

Branch - Although not the most narrative shot, I like the lighting and the irony that a window has been bricked up to make way for a little air brick. Nice colouring and textures too.

King - I always love seeing these kind of shots. It always makes me think that the paint has been aged on purpose for such an interesting texture.

I now know I have to notice more when out looking for photo ops. You've made the kind of buildings and objects that we all see on a daily basis into works of art. Very nice work.

Wow! Thanks iceblinker! Great judging, and my first Commended!! Some great entries this time, and your short but sweet comment has spurred me on to do better next time.

Thanks again, and well done to the winner and runners up.

No probs. I just liked the image so much, I just wanted to show off what I could do with a £50 bit of software and a little time!!

Glad you like it though

What about those drain covers on the right hand pavement?

I'll just get onto the council about that...

Dear pnjmcc,

I liked your shot of a local church so much for the Building Competition and felt sad that you couldn't remove the bin... so I've done it for you!!

It's very crude as I only spent 10 mins on it and I didn't like the blue sign either so that's gone too. I don't know whether it's an accurate representation as I haven't visited the church myself. And close-up it probably looks pants anyway, but as a shot as a whole...




What do you think?

I hope you don't mind what I've done

To be honest, I prefer the plain black standard K10D to the GP Edition. In all fairness Danny bought the GP for me to look at and I made the decision to keep his old one. I say old... only 3 months!!

It's going to be great to go out together and share the same enthusiasm with the same equipment. I've always had a thing for photography since my college days and now me and Danny finally share an interest!

And yes dear (Unlocker), I am selling everything I own on Ebay to buy you (and me!) some glass

Sorry, but I just had to announce to the world that I now own my own K10D!! Through much nagging, got my other half (Unlocker) to get the K10D Grand Prix Edition (with a little cash from me to help) -
so I now have his K10D!!

Been having a play over the last few days (including my Competition entry) and although it confuses me greatly (I'm used to a Ricoh Caplio R6 compact point and shoot) my old photography lessons are slowly coming back to me. I know I am going to have loads of fun with this, and at least we can both go out and shoot together instead of me carrying the tripod all the time!
