I like both of theme the forground really add context to them
Bamburgh Castle: Lovely shot - the sort of thing you'd expect to see in an upmarket travel advert for relaxing holidays in the area.
Lindisfarne: One of the places I've always wanted to visit. I'm glad it lived up to your expectations. I love the strong foreground interest in the shot and the desaturated colours. Another from me.

I like the looks of there, must go one day! Lovely autumn colours in there
great work....
The avenue is lovely and well shot... I'm sure it's not wonky and I can't find any indication it is, but I feel like I'm leaning to the right ...
As for the sunrise... lovely, warm, wonderful tones... I'm not jealous...
The hairs on the legs etc look good Ant. Nicely done.
love the remembrance shot well captured
Ant, massive apologies from me, what with holidays and one thing and another I've got so behind.
Week 42 Lime Ave, Clumber Park:
Lovely autumn scene, in a great location by the look of it. I bet it's also good in spring when the leaves are just showing.
Week 43 Fiery Bamburgh Sunrise:
Oh, this is a stunner. Classic shot and definitely worth a large print.
Week 44 Insey Winsey Spider
I love the bokeh and, as John said, his hairy legs.
Week 45 Gone, but never forgotten:
No words needed, Ant. The image is powerful on its own.
Week 46 Theatre Royal, Nottingham
I like the angle and all the lights make the theatre look ready for action. It's a beautiful old building. I like the idea of monochrome, but the tint looks a bit magenta on my screen. I don't dislike it (sorry, that sounds as though I'm damming it with faint praise and isn't what I intended) but I wondered if you'd experimented with any other tints?

I agree with Jean, I can also see why it might cause a bit of a mixed reaction. Nicely handled.
Week 46 Theatre Royal, Nottingham
Very nice, I like this one. Well done on not getting run over
Very nice Ant, a lot to see in there, and the textures have come out really well. I think mono has really bought this out too.
This really appeals to me, Ant. I presume it's silver birch? I hope you do well in the competition.
It's beautiful and you're right about the b&w bringing out the textures. Mr JG is a keen woodturner, and I love how you can use interesting bark like this to create a beautiful object, giving it a new life after the tree or branch has been felled.
You've inspired me to try some bark pictures of our eucalyptus tree - it's peeling and revealing both colour and texture.
You're a week ahead of most of us, so I hope you enjoy what will be your week 53, watching us all still struggling to get our shot in. I certainly couldn't have managed a blog as well. Well done that man.

Great colours and I like the reflected bubbles. I can't work out how you've done this, but it looks good.
Just a small niggle - there's a lot of empty space on the left, and I think I'd crop that out, leaving the 'join' between the 2 surfaces on the vertical third. (If that makes sense!)
Let us know how the comp goes - good luck.
Jean
wonderfull textures you've caught in there Ant. I see you didn't take the judges advice then ....
I don't know what I expected with the title 'Signs of age', but I like this. I clearly wasn't the judge!! Judging has to be the worst job in the world, imho, but I can't help wondering what this particular judge did praise - if anything!
Surely a judge should be able to make appropriate comments on technical merit, at least. If this had been the first competition you'd entered it would put you off for life! I don't blame you for sounding p***ed off, Ant.
So just to confirm:
I l i k e i t.
Jean
wow on the bubbles and i have to say signs of age is just my kind of shot
That's worked very nicely Ant. The composition with the columns and the front of the building works superbly, I'm not sure what's at the end of the tunnel but that's ok.
