Like both the hold pictures but the first one does fit slightly better with the hold theme. Very brave of mad climbers certainly wouldn't catch me up there!Interesting take on the smoke theme lol. Is it actually the crem in the background? It looks more like a warehouse Hope it looks a bit more welcoming from the front

Well you got me there Chris. I started looking for the arsonist / fire before I spotted the sign for the Crem.
Excellent alternative take on the theme

 

[sirch]

Well that made me spit my tea out! I like the dark humour Lovely old wall- let's hope that building does mature.

Thanks Emma, glad it made you laugh

Nice to see a Smoke shot that doesn't appear to include any smoke.

Less is sometimes more? Thanks David

Thanks Georgina, yes that's the Crem it's in a rural area and I think they were going for the "farm building" look, which may not be entirely appropriate?

Thanks Tim, it wasn't my first idea but it amused me to post it.

Oh well I guess that got what they were going for

Vivid, two very good shots Chris my choice has to be the 1st one. Really beautiful light and like the sun reflection

Thanks Dave, I was hoping for a bit more colour in the sunset but they'll do

#1 is a beaut with that FG, I love a FG and this is glowing red hot! Lots of good BG and sky detail too. Nice work.

Thanks David, it's amazing what a bit of lens flare can do

Ist one for me Chris, Great FG and Sky.

Love the second one, very calming but for the theme I think the colours and the sun work better.

Thanks, I agree which is why I ended up posting both I guess

#1 for me, doesn't scream vivid but variety is the spice of TP

Cheers.

Definitely the first one for the theme Chris, the colours are a bit muted, but love the reflection of the sky in the water.

 

[wallyboy]

Two lovely images, one is a corker for me.

Like Susie I like the reflections in the second, but that first is sublime. Foreground, composition, sunburst and clouds - just lovely

Well he is Large if I say so my self, well spotted and taken Chris

 

[susiejb]

The little lad certainly emphasises the size of his Dad there Chris.

Thanks both, it was too good an opportunity to miss I thought for this week's theme.

 

[brrnd]

I prefer #1 for hold, even though you can't see the climber's face. I like the much cleaner background.

Smoke is a great idea, I like your sense of humour!

Vivid - two beautiful sunset shots, nothing more to add.

And large made my day! Very well spotted

Thanks for taking the time Bernd, I appreciate it

 

[KernowChris]

Large - well spotted, but probably difficult to miss (sorry is that too npc?)

not that I was out looking for better fed people to snap , Thanks Chris

 

[SteveSc]

The little lad is what really makes this shot for me, well spotted and taken.

 

[posiview]

Cheeky shot there, Chris, but a potentially brave one...he could have sat on you

Cheers.

A bit of vernacular architecture

Hi Chris,
Excellent scape for vivid, #1 for me because sun + subtle god rays.
Large - If he did clock you taking his picture, he was never going to catch you Bang on theme.
Architecture - Last of the summer wine perhaps? Nice bit of stonework.

 

[Emja]

A very pretty scene, but it looks a bit HDR? For my tastes anyway.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Very nice shot Chris, like the old flint homes and wall, my only grip is clone out the wire on the top

Thanks for taking the time Tim. Hadn't thought about Last of the Summer Wine but now you mention it...

Thanks Emma, in my defence it was a very bright day with deep shadows and I wanted to get the chimneys in

Very nice shot Chris, like the old flint homes and wall, my only grip is clone out the wire on the top

Thanks Dave, I had thought about cloning out the wire but then there are more wires and TV aerials in the distance and I was sort of aiming for a record shot of that village as it is. But then I suppose the fact that the wire is just hanging space is a bit out of context so may be it should go
