I like the composition but there's no way you are going to carry that water hazard!:|

I like the interpretation of (dare I say it, a bugger of a theme?!). I still have to get my head around my interpretation. Did you go all “girly” and get someone else to handle the insects for you? This 52 lark does have us taking photos of things we’d never dream of!

Hi Guys, I have a little catching up to do as I was away on a motorbike tour of the Alps. Here is my Metal post:.. I had a little difficulty in resizing the image and had to reduce the quality which as washed the image out a little. There’s something quite melancholy about all...

LOL Love the sentiment, i dont only understand but i suffer more...i live in Germany, can you imagine the stick i have been getting especially after the krauts display on how to play footie!?!?!? grr! :bang:

I know technically it’s not a “post” it’s a pole or commonly known as a pin but I’m sure we are allowed a little “artistic licence”? I quite like this image, a golf course is a beautiful place and I only hope this photo has given you a little glimpse of how well maintained this course is...

Yeah, i agree, lets just agree that is a fantastic car and a poor photo...anyway ,moving on...POST

Quality…I was really struggling with this weeks theme, I left it to the last minute and ended up taking an easy option. I’m not very happy with the interpretation or the photo for that matter. Oh well there’s always next week to make a mends.

Nice one Phil, Isolation was a great theme. I went for the punishment interprition of isolation and you went for the pleasure, that boat is very invitinng. I'm looking forward to the new challenge! Excuse my ignorance but what is "vignette":thinking:

Great shot! the bars the broken widow, it all makes for a cracking statement. I also thought about the consentration camp idea - I even considered driving to Bergen Belson(where Ann Frank died), but that is a 3 hour drive. so i knocked my own up in the cellar.

I tried a few different crops and found that in this one the shadows on the floor lead the eye to the person and from the angle of the shadows helps with the impression that you are outside looking in... adding to the isolation of the subject?

Yep my missus will be wanting her, brooms, mops and curtain rails back. :lol:

Thanks Sue, I tried a bear foot and topless version but that looked a little too "Guantamino Bay" ish. I thought it looked more punishment then isolation. David.

This week’s theme had my scratching my head for a few days. I finally came up with this… Although we all need to be alone occasionally, isolation goes against the human psyche, so isolation is normal viewed as a punishment. So has I live in Germany what better way to interpret isolation...

Hi John, I know what you mean about how the amount of props and equitment mounts up, mine turned out to be one of those 5 minute jobs that took all afternoon.:bang: I prefer the first of the dark shots, looks like your starting to climb the ladder to heaven. ..keep following the light John...

David really but i'm a big Blackadder fan. By the sound of all the replies, it looks like I'll have to take some editing lessons from my daughter...she'll never let me live that down! I'm having a hard time coming up with a theme for Isolation :shrug: If Kelly goes on and on about her...
