Hi Allan, Sorry I've not stopped by in a while... Trying to catch up!
Ending - Made me chuckle. Especially reading the description!
Positive - Like the lighting. Red, white and black works well. Only tiny niggle is a what looks like a few scratches on the surface the pots are standing on.
Time - I like this. Composition is different to what we normally see with this subject... Also like that it's B&W.
And yes, we seem to be getting a lot of repeat themes!
Some great images here Allan. Love Positive, the lighting is a nice touch. I like the time too, just wish it had some sun on it to make it work.
HI Allan
your memory is way better than mine.....can recall Time from last year but not the year before....need to delve in to my hard drives cos you have me thinking now !
Time....lovely sun dial , mono works well , plenty of detail
& just to be awkward & risk your wrath....could ya not have put in on the grass in the garden when the sun was out
Time - fits the theme, good idea and nice composition.
Quick out the blocks again this week Allan
That looks a lovely subject for photography, I like the subtle lighting on it, shows all the detail a treat.
Be good to see it when its finished and mounted, back to its former glory. Good work
Where's the sun
Only joking, nice image and very fitting for the theme
Hey Allan
Now I like that, a very different angle and crop for a sun dial, the B&W certainly works well, helps show off the detail nicely
I hear what you're saying about the repeated themes, try to not let it wind you up mate
I'm just trying to use them to try something else, even something I have seen somebody else do, or as a re-shoot and improve what I may have not been happy with in previous years, for me it's still being out with the camera and trying to improve my images...
time.. fits the theme well. different nice detail, nice sundial btw
Good detail in the image. I remember from an English lesson at school, the teacher wrote on the board "Tempus fugit, time flies, you cannot, their flight is too erratic". Strange what one remembers when given a trigger.
Allan, to expand on 'time flies', it's a play on words. The sentence isn't referring to the fact that time seems to go quickly, it's referring to an attempt to measure the flight time of flies.
Nice dof and colour. Wish the shadow replicated the swirl though, although I'm not sure that would be possible?
Some nice colours in there and nice idea. I think a stronger shadow would really add something.
Hi Allan sorry seemed to have missed your time shot b&w works well here and quite like the angle you have shot
Swirl - is this a straight photo? or pp wizardry type stuff ? I quite like it a tad different to what i have seen posted today and some nice colours in there

Hey Allan
Now that is an interesting swirl, no idea what it is... especially with that bulbous bit
I would prefer a bolder shadow or none at all... but loving the colours and the brightness, love it
looks like a bracelt of some sort to me?
like the interesting swirly springy shape of it, and the colours that seem to be reflections of something?
Hi there....I love the colours in this one and the swirly shape is perfect for the theme..I agree about the shadow or a plain background, but it still looks great.
Swirl - simple image fits the theme, my only crit would be to have the shadows match. I am it sure if that would be possible to do.
Hmmm ... intriguing, colourful, clean ... I like this image very much.
What the heck is it??
Interesting subject and I like the different thicknesses.
Not too bothered about the lack if shadow, but it do have a bit of OCD about whiter BGs.
Cheers....and what is it
Swirl.... I like it, the colours are good, it looks rather like a silver bracelet, coloured with gels, bet i'm wrong but that's my guess, some deeper shadows would set it off a bit i think
Swirl is a nice image, I'll echo what others have said and say it needs a stronger shadow. But I do like the abstract shape and also the lovely colours in there.
Well done
