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!

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.

Week 17 - Structure
Just back from a short break to the Cardigan area
On a wet and gloomy day we drove up the coast to Aberaeron where I took a shot of the groynes helping to maintain the integral structure of the coast. As ever when posting two photos it's tricky to pick the one for the theme. I like the colour one for it's muted colour tones and seagull, but the mono pips it for me

Week 18 - Straight & Tech Minimalist
My submission for this week to include tech minimalist is a shot of one of the arms of the flagpole of Penarth Yacht Club flying the Ensign.
I've also attached some other shots that for the theme straight, that don't quite match the tech theme

Nice set Simon.
No3 gets my vote. In fact - if you did a vertical crop down the middle it would tick minimalist too
Thanks Dave - I did think about that, but then didn't do it.
Like this?

Last try today...On the right track.
Less sky and more boards / smaller person I'd say to maximise the minimalism
I also tried to clone/paint out the bar in front of y wife that's poking above the railings, but proved too tricky for my limited editing skills.
