That certainly works - nice control of DoF

Yes, I really like this shot

 

[SimonH]

Decay is brilliant! Love it.
Snapper's Choice excellent too! Who doesn't love a puffin!

I kept that rose for, oh! 4 or even 5 years in the garage. The reason was that I thought one day I might take a photo of it in its decay condition and that day finally came!

I need a little help from Photoshop for this week's theme—a bit of impressionist-style painting like Manet'ist.

I think I prefer #2, has a cohesion to it, if that makes any sense

 

[-Oy-]

I like them both

 

[wornish]

Prefer #2. I think. Both good though.

 

[Boots]

Two nice shots

 

[rpn]

Thanks, all. I like both of them and can't decide which one as the main post.

 

[SimonH]

Great shot and processing Stan. I really like your chosen shot, and it's my preferred image of the two. I'd have that on my wall!

Very kind of you to say so, thank you very much, Simon, for the kind words.

 

[firewireguy]

Two great shots. I like them both but #1 nudges it, only because of the in focus earth on the 2nd that distracts a bit from the image.

 

[Kell]

I think you chose the right one - can't put my finger on why I prefer that of the two.

Great shots.

 

[BobBCN]

Both super shots, but they do my eyes in!!

 

[nog]

Lovely shot for snapper’s choice and like both abstract though the first one is the cracker, like Bob they do my eyes in after a while

Thanks, Keith. I know what you mean but should have gone to Specsavers!

Decay: Lovely,. Has a very soft glow
Snappers. I love this shot. Beautifully framed.

Thanks, Helen for the catchup feedbacks.

On to Week 27, wow we are over halfway already!

A simple theme but not so easy to take photographs of until I noticed this scene just when I was heading upstairs. Late evening sunlight comes through the kitchen window.


Week 27 Light

I rather like #2. The mono treatment gives it emphasis.

 

[-Oy-]

No1 for me. At first look I though it was a person going upstairs!

Thanks, Helen. I was two minds about which to submit as the main post.

Cheers, Dave. The shadowy figure is the bottom of the stair balustrade.

 

[BobBCN]

Two fine takes and well captured.

 

[Boots]

Two good shots, but #1 for me. It carries a feeling of intrigue and even menace.

 

[bullinachinashop]

Taken a few days ago and could well be their last few days on land before they fly out to sea for the rest of the year.

Week 25 Snapper's Choice

Sorry for arriving late to the party but that is a magnificent photo!

Thanks, Ross. Comments and feedback are always appreciated and never too late.

I managed to capture this image just in time within Week 28. The weather has been either rain or overcast for over a week and I've been waiting patiently for a blue sky and some clouds to fulfil the Clouds theme. Cruise Ship AIDA Sol to add interest.

Week 28 Clouds

[BobBCN]

Great shot there Stan

Thanks, Bob. The image got picked into Flickr "in explore"! Very surprised by that.

The one and only day of Summer up here in NE Scotland.


Week 29 Summer

[Boots]

Very nice!

 

[HelenC]

Clouds... I like wide angle that captures the shadows on the ground from the clouds.
Summer. Glad you've had some summer up there, we seem to be missing most of it down here!

Went out for a walk on Sunday morning looking for inspiration for this week's Bridge theme but spotted this empty foreign 'beer' can on the grass verge.


Week 30 Drink

A bridge from a different angle.

Week 31 Bridge

Bridge by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Boots]

Drink - This makes me angry (as I have already ranted about elsewhere), but it is a very successful photo - so well done.

Bridge - A good angle, that works.

 

[-Oy-]

Yep nice angle on the bridge!

 

[nog]

As above - a few interesting angles of the bridge,

Thanks, Paul. To me, the problem is today's takeaways and throwaways culture!

Yep nice angle on the bridge!

Cheers, Dave.
