Wow! Gold medal! This is absolutely superb. I love the way the two stems come from bottom right and take the eye to the seed heads. In my wild imagination, I see two old people with the shorter one resting his/her head on the shoulder of the longer one which is bent from the extra weight.
I hope your club judge is smart enough to appreciate this. |

Hi Ian. Nice to hear from you. I hope you are keeping well. The Glass Centre is likeley to close soon because the building has become dangerous and would be too expensive to repair. |

Gary, I take your point about the big cloud. Too big to clone out so maybe I should just tone it down a little. |

Gary. No, I meant flipping the image so that the reflection is on top with the inverted real life image below. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but it's fun to try. |

Erik, if I had been with you I would have really enjoyed this scene. It is the sort of thing I love to do. You have caught the light at just the right time with the sun having just moved enough to create long grazing shadows on the wall. Another 20 minutes and the shadows would be too short. The red wall and the green foliage give a good colour contrast, and Isaac has already mentioned the rather decrepit state of the stairs. Well spotted and a worthy change from your excellent nature pictures. |

Isaac, out of interest, the bickwork pattern is called "Scottish Bond" where there are five courses of bricks laid lengthwise and a single course laid crosswise. A variation of this, called "American Bond" has anything between three and nine courses laid lengthwise. |

Nice one Vella! The crop is good and the image is sharp. The pigeon is posing perfectly, leaning to one side in the brick aperture, and the expression on its 'face' is absolutely priceless. The brickwork is typical of old buildings in that part of France. |

It's unusual to find a high vantage point for this type of shot and I think it works all the more for that. Your use of b&w removes the distractions of colour and helps the viewer to appreciate the architectural lines of the building. The lit chandelier in the top right is a strong initial focal point and then the eye moves to the two tiny but very important figures standing in exactly the right place. Good strong contrast and nicely processed. I guess the TV was a bit boring! |

This is a picture that raises conflicting emotions in me. I have been to Seaquarium many years ago so have seen Tokitae perform. She was a magnificent creature and demonstrated to my mind, significant intelligence. The conflict in my mind is that we still use such beautiful and graceful creatures for our human entertainment. Did she have a better and longer life as a captive? Would she have been happy to be released into the wild after so many years? Who knows? As for the picture (and the supporting shots), they are an excellent record of this graceful creature. |

Gary, I like what you have acieved here. I have tried similar things in the past but never found such a good combination of interesting bridge and smooth reflection. Good thinking on exposure and focus. Good PP too. Have you thought about flipping it vertically as a bit of fun? |

Hi Isaac. Glad you survived the recent bad weather in Florida. Yes, it's a pity about the glass blowing pictures but I'll take another look to see if I can find something worth putting up for next month. |
