Hi Roger, sorry it's so long since I've been here to catch up with your images. Just looking back through your thread and the image for Fence is a moody and clever take on the theme - well done for coming up with something different. Your Flora image is a lovely colourful close-up with loads of great details, and The Last Time is an attractive scene that becomes really poignant when you read the story behind it. Thank goodness you took the image when you did and you have a lovely reminder of Khan.

Hi Roger,
Lovely image for time. So very sorry that Khan passed away but wonderful that you have that image.
Snapper's choice is a good catch. They don't hang about long!
Sorry to hear you are leaving the 52. As Chris said, please drop back anytime you feel.

Great Image Roger, love the details in the tail feathers and the colour. I think he has his beady eye on you. I have not seen any so far this year, but have heard one in the woods.
Sorry to see you go Roger, come back soon when normal service resumes everywhere.

There is something very "war of the worldsy" about these particular windmills for me especially when they are motionless, so tried to give the picture an apocalyptic feel.

LOL. Well it's good to see you back Roger.
Loving the combination of the Spit and Triumph, though surely a pre-unit would be better. Though maybe not, as it's a good contrast of new & old.
The position of the blade in >1 makes them look like the flying saucers that were hidden in plain sight in MiB (especially the one in the background).
I do like the B&W processing.

War of the Worlds and MIB eat your heart out, that is one hell of a great image Roger. Really do love it as even the moody clouds look like something is coming out/through of them and just to finish it off in B&W has it nailed.

Thanks Tim, yeah a pre unit would of been nice but with lockdown trying to talk a mate into coming out wasn't going to work! Clare got her canvas last week the one you suggested, thanks for that she is so pleased with it.

Yeah, I guess that is an issue at the mo. If I were doing it it would have to be my rice burner (I can scrounge old brits, but don't have any myself - far prefer jap 2-strokes).Great motivational speaker is are Clare!

I'm glad the canvas idea worked

So sorry to read about Khan but pleased you managed to capture a happy memory. Topaz sharpen AI works really well for sharpening some photographs - might be worth a free trial? Pets can leave such a big hole in your life when they pass and I imagine a horse leaves a cavern after all that time [emoji22]
I’m glad you’re not giving up the 52... must remember the rusty knife trick [emoji16]
I love your war of the worlds shot - very moody! The black and white treatment works really well for both this and your best of British. Was that a composite or a planned shot?

Welcome back Roger.
The Spit and Triumph pic is lovely and the turbine pic (especially the clouds) is great. Looks good on Flickr.

Welcome back. Congratulate Clare on the good call
Great shots so far. The turbines look great... especially the angle of the blades which isn't the usually shot. Nicely done.
Sorry for the spasmodic replies, problems with generator are making using the internet difficult.
