The TP52 - 2026 Cuthbert's 52 for 2026

They're all pretty good, but I do like the 3rd image the most. I like the simplicity, the negative space and the piece of graffiti.
 
Love this set Mark. I would have found it really tough to chose though I think that I'd lean towards the fourth one.
 
I'd have gone with your chosen shot. It makes me want to see the rest of it.
 
Thank you everyone, no shortage of hard shadows these couple of weeks, been rather spoilt!!

Here's Week 31 - close up portrait

Excellent ;)
 
It took me a second or two, to workout what I was looking at (I should probably blame my old brain, but I can't, it's not that old really).
I actually really quite like the composition and light.
 
Great Shot, like others I too like the use of the shadow to Frame.
 
Thank you everyone! That church and a few of my 'churchy' pics that I do, were taken at St Johns in Oxborough, a rather curious little church just over the road from Oxborough Hall, which is together, along with a walk around the village, and then a pint in the pub make for a nice Sunday afternoon!!

What's nice about that church is the sun streams in through a huge window and creates the most wonderful shadows, it's just being there at the right time.

Think I need some background explanation on this one. Might just be me?

Haha! that's sort of the idea, this one is a stairwell in an national trust house with a beautiful leaded window shadow hitting the floor, to do a literal interpretation of theme I was thinking of a 1990s BT phonebox (the KX style) against a grubby white or concrete wall with a hard diagonal shadow cutting over it, but I couldn't find anything nearby, so I went with a more abstract interpretation!

It's effective, and thank you for the explanation

thank you all!

I did have an alternative view of those steps which artistically, I prefer but because it didn't show as much context, thought it was thematically a bit more of a stretch!

Lovely shots Mark. Does the car have a personal connection to you?

Thank you! Not exactly that specific car - but the photo represented my childhood memory of that hot leather seats smell/feeling on a summers day, getting in the car after a day out. Now, I’m of course very much aware that could be memory and experience only I had lol

I'm teaching my adult son to drive and I find that I reminisce about my old cars while we're driving. Hot leather seats, armstrong steering, how we used to build leg strength through braking, etc... :p
