somewhere in Wiltshire
Ah, you have rumbled me again, Jen. There’s the psychoanalyst coming out in you. However, somehow the mojo wasn’t there and in the end I settled for a BW and deleted all the feeble attempts. The problem is I don’t have enough material on my new iPad so I’m clutching at straws. Time to delve through the 1000s of images on my phone.Did you make a colour/abstract version of this one ?
Natural light from a southeast facing window at 7 PMbeautiful. Love the rich black and the silvery light. (What is the light source?)
I see what you did there. Great image John.View attachment 159460

Brilliant,
That is SO COOL!
Useless fact of the day: the late Arthur Marshall ( Call my Bluff ) was both a pupil, then a master at Oundle up until his war service in 1939.
I hope you enjoyed Glastonbury.View attachment 159460

Oooh, thank you for that Nick. Lots of pupils joined the army and died in the First World War. They have photographs of a lot of them in one of the walkways.Useless fact of the day: the late Arthur Marshall ( Call my Bluff ) was both a pupil, then a master at Oundle up until his war service in 1939.
I did Nick, it's been around 30 years since my last visit. The best bits are still the same, the worse bits have probably got worse!!I hope you enjoyed Glastonbury.

during which trip I discovered that Stonehenge was built in 1954, because there's a picture of a crane hoisting a lintel into place from then. Who knew?
EDIT: I tried to post that as a clickable link, but when I tried, it displayed the whole pic. If anyone knows how to insert a link without getting the contents displayed, let me know please. For right now, you'll have to copy/paste.
Congrats to deepop David! Superb choices rizole Rizole!HMS first. I particularly likes the negative space pics this week so HM's to deepop , lkbside and terse for them and a HM and welcome to the thread shryn, nice waterfall, good detail. HM again for our ICM man of the moment, terse for his agave which just keeps being good to him.
In third this week we have ImageArt with Panosabotage of a train trip I did. I like a nice panosab, whichg this is, but you've got a good long one here with good details and little distortion, as sinnerjohn said, not too much sabotage.
Speaking of whom, 2nd place goes to sinnerjohn with Somewhere in Wiltshire. Just a clear, crisp image, good tonal whatsists and contrasts, a big sky and nice details and textures.
Our winner this week is deepop, Quarantine selfie.

As zenjenny points out, lovely rich black and silvery light in this. Human faces are almost always just intrinsically interesting and we don't get as many portraits round here as we could but this one is a corker for me. The framing, composition, lighting, negative space all add impact, mood and feeling to the pic. Very nice work.
Thanks, Rizole. I really appreciate your thoughts. Congratulations to John, Ann, Leslie and Ted.(sounds like a movie title.)HMS first.

I agree and vote that we can enter it in next month’s.always like reading your reviews, rizole - ‘specially when your #1 would have been mine by a country mile (how did this portrait not make it into the IoM thread??? I blame deepop for posting it on the last day of the month. Please pay more attention, David.
and congrats, David. Gorgeous, gorgeous portrait. And as rizole says (or if he didn’t he should have) I hope it inspires more portraits in our challenges.
congrats John Ann Leslie Stephen Ted
(Btw special mention: HM shryn has been here for about five minutes - thanks so much for joining in straight up )
Well done, David. Wish my selfies were as good! Nice one, John. Thanks for the third, Rizole. And well done to all the HMs. A good week...as always.HMS first.
