Thanks Bob!

Lovely shot Simon and much better on Flickr. Is feeding birds from the hand a regular thing in that park

Cheers Keith. It’s a pretty proposal place with many trails, so loss of wildlife. I’ve had no problems finding robins, great t and squirrels to feed from hand. I even had a squirrel climbing up my leg last year as I was holding a bag of nuts and seed. Off the busiest paths it’s quite easy - just need a little patience and a steady hand!

Great shot, I think it works better still with a tighter crop.

Thanks Nick - I was worried about losing some IQ with a tighter crop, but I think it could go a little tighter

Week16 - Empty

Blimey - how are we at week 16 already?

Anyway, strolling around Barry Island this morning and the big wheel caught my eye, empty of its gondolas - it's either undergoing refurbishment/maintenance (more likely), or being dismantled. I thought it fits the bill with an unusual take.

Spot on theme and looks like the whole place is empty and deserted.

Fits the theme and pretty unusual, looks as it needs a couple of clock fingers on

Thanks Keith. I hadn’t thought about it like that but I can see it now!

Works well for the theme. Maybe worth going back at dusk and shooting in mono?

Cheers Bob - if I get the chance I may do that

Definitely empty. Nice background sky too.

Thanks Helen - for once the light and sun direction was in my favour!
