I love the poetic atmosphere created by the lonely landscape and soft light. A good composition too. Pete

An interesting study in triangular lines and the subtle shading. Nicely composed. Pete

Very simple scene, but made more interesting by the diagonals, but as usual, a bit of thought produced even more interesting interpretations. Clever and subtle. Pete

Excellent. The scene, the composition, the reflection, the processing, all of it. Pete

Intriguing, even if this photo is an imposter! I enjoy the humour, and can’t help but think that the guard is sleeping through a theft, as some art thief whisks this piece from under his nose and ...

Tremendous. It was well worth the climb to get this angle and frame of the subject, leaving enough to see what it is, but still present the ship from an unusual angle. The slightly cream colour and ...

Another good concert series, with good use of the lights and diagonal composition. The only criticism are the blown highlights in the fist, which spoils it, and in the third, which gets away with ...

A delightful puzzle of optical illusion and just as you decide think you have it solved and are trying to decide where the painting finishes and the photo begins, you realise it is all a ...

A short series from the Galapagos. Pete

As mentioned a few posts below, I use an Op/Tech Urban Sling, which connects to the strap lugs of the camera and leaves the tripod thread completely free for wharever tripod bracket you require. ...

Definitely taken in the 70's! ;-) There are lots of pleasing mysteries: What are they carrying? The ground is so high-key that we cannot be sure the feet are on the ground. Are they really puppets ...

Yes, that really is a neat effect and a shame that knowledge of PP software means that we cannot immediately appreciate it for what it is! I also like the wide, crunchy stone base, which becomes  ...

This just about sums up what I like about Lisbon - a beauty from a past age, lots of patina, but still working (I assume!) Well spotted and good you thought to photograph it. Pete

I've just watched a film set in 1929 in Berlin. Everybody was smoking, all the rooms were thick with smoke and cigarettes were the social opening gambit. Now smokers hide down alleys. Is that van ...

An excellent documentary series. A country day passed with an age-old process, even if the machines and methods are modern, the work is still satisfying with a definite beginning and succesful ...

Driftwood, but .... It is a gnarled hand. But is it that of Mother Nature's desperate, weakening grip on Earth? Or is it the evil hand of mankind, withered by greed and eagerly snatching what it ...

I don't think she was the graffiti artist - certainly not on that day, as she is a) too smartly dressed and b) too short to reach ;-) Pete

Translated, the graffiti reads: I do not want women to have power over men, but over themselves. Hope it happens in her lifetime. Pete

Oh boy, Lou, that's more than enough bad news in your life at the moment. I hope the suggestions made help bear fruit and unearth the lost treasures. In any case nobody has a monopoly on bad news, ...

Welcome to the thread. As you have no doubt noticed, it is usually very active between Wednesday and Friday, and cools rapidly over the weekend, so it is best to post on Wednesday or Thursday to ...
