I do like urban / industrial pictures, I think this works really well for companions. I agree with some of the other comments, that they are obviously two different cranes adds to the effect.
Cranes Companions; Nice take on the theme, B&W suits the subject well. I can't help feeling that by merging the two photos together would make a better or worse idea?
Buoy Companions; Well spotted and I quite like it.

Scenic - #1 by a country mile. In fact I have to say (sorry everyone else) this is my favourite of the week's entries for the theme by a country mile (again sorry everyone). The tree in the middle of the image breaks the rule of thirds (well horizontally anyway) but this I feel brings strength to the image. The fact the sun is rising directly behind bringing some superb tones to the sky and reflected on to snow is an absolute bonus and well done to you for getting up early and battling the conditions. The gaps between the limestone slabs allow the eye to move up into the picture towards the tree....... I could go on but I think I'm gushing too much.
Companions - I recognise these cranes from Anchorsholme. They seem to have been working down there for years. I like the idea of using the two images to almost reflect each other. Looking at the flatness of light I think you've done right to convert these.
Ahhhh that's how they were, was wondering that, I like the way you put the two cranes together and took the time doing it rather than cropping them in situ, there again, I can't imagine you EVER doing that
I'm beginning to really like these cranes.
Companions shot is clever and I think everything you have done in pp works spot on
ha ha like it!
Hahaha very funny
love it .
Toilet humour, can't beat it, so funny
Lateral thinking at its best Andy, oh for a day inside your head! It'd be fantastic, full of magic
I a just curious as to what your official entry will be, that's a hard one to top.
Well that's different!! Nice idea!
What more can anyone say than *chuckle*.
Congrats on being the first to post Week 5.
Hi Andy,
Your first scenic image is fanatic! I love the texture of the foreground - what is it that's covered in snow? I love the way it leads me into the lone tree in the middle of the frame. A great selection of colours too.
I've been searching everywhere for a lone tree and still haven't found one!
Creative idea for theme 5!
That's another theme down the pan then Well someone was gonna say it!
Bu66er where's the time gone? now there's another theme out!
Cranes love them well shot, I really love the angles of the jibs working together. Nice contrasty shot, very gritty and industrial also all the little symmetrical shapes of the jibs construction is a nice interesting point. I also like the fact that there's items hanging on the cable make it work better IMHO.
Bog pan fantastic, I'm not gonna ask how low you were to the floor together that perspective. Bet you were flushed getting down that low I also like the reflection of the paper and stand in the pedestal. Mind I had to check it was a reflection. Like the vignette pulls you in, nearly clipping on the very front edge of the bowl but guess it quite hard to get such a reflective white under control well done!
Nice work mate, love it!
Fairly bog standard Andrew!
Elegant, LOL my kind of image
Well done Andy
Quirky idea, quirky angles, nice mag colours.
Hi Andy, very good just goes to show what putting a little thought into the themes can produce
Oh no, no ,no.
The picture?: Interesting, fits the theme and a different aspect to the theme...
...but shiny paper as bog roll?!!! Oh no, no, no.
What a cracking idea mate, I'd keep that as an entry, great angle, well lit funny as hell too
Elegant
Love it... Talk out of the box thinking, your mind must work overtime..

Great idea. The low angle, distortion and vignette work well together.
That's very different. One man's elegant is another man's.......
Oi! I'm the one that posts tenuous links / imagesCouldn't resist.
Your elegant loo shot is genius
