Thanks, it’s a new one from last week. Yes, I’m trying to find interesting angles. The beach on this day was just extraordinary and I got a lot of interesting shots. I loved how at some angles in the wet sand, a double shadow appeared and I was lucky when this kid came running past and I sort of missed the shot but liked what I got in the end.I like this. Is it an image from your cache and/or a recent one? (I’m wondering if you are in an experimental phase)
That’s what Americans would do, for sure.
Good choices, John, and applause for Celine Lumiere -- a classic b/w.Righto lets be havin it then.
As usual, when I'm given the privilege to judge all these images (quite often way better than mine) I'll stress what I choose are images that appeal to me and are not necessarily the best either artistically or technically.
What I liked this week, in order posted.
JillyG 's Darling Starling, fantastically close, a real beauty (even from me with slight Ornithophobia)
Lynne.Peterson 's lovely b/w beach
deepop 's fabulous Summer Stripes, great contrasts
tomklyn 's superb Water Tower (this weeks Stephen King award)
ImageArt 's very nice Shadowplay
Celine Lumiere 's Time nibbled car
RHKing 's Shadowplay 18
I thought a couple of people were a bit below par this week in B/W, you know who you are
First Place goes to Celine Lumiere
Love everything about this, great image
Second Place was deepop
love the simplicity of this and that black is just so BLACK !
Third is tomklyn with his water tower
Americana at its finest, love that negative space.
Those mentioned earlier are of course HM's.
Maybe worth a special mention would be Robert' Shadowplay. Probably a winner any other week and I wouldn't argue, your shots are in a different league sir.

Celine Lumiere Celine’s image was a good one - I loved the little fox badge and I bet that post holds a sign which says No Parking! Congratulations Celine. Well done to the runners up - deepop David and tomklyn Thomas - great use of negative space in both. And to all the HMs - fabulous work. It was another great black and white week. I think the standard gets higher every week. Okay, me and Celine’s “Time is nibbling on” are off to the Gallery. We’re not going to drive down there because ... well, I think you know why.
