PHOTO COMPETITION #18 - MARCH 2021

What's Hot

Thanks to February’s winner @cj73 for this month’s theme. In his own words:

”We’ve all pretty much been restricted in some way or another over the last year and been stuck looking at the same things over and over again. So how about a new slant on one of them? From the mundane to the magnificent could be anything you’ve encountered regularly to the point of not really seeing it (or them) any more.”

    Lie on your back in the middle of a City crossroads and see what you’re missing if you never raise your head.

    Ignore that. Just realised they have to be current shots. Sorry.

  • I know I say this every month, but again I've found it really hard to make a decision... here's my final offer though:

    1st - @Jonathangus - I almost feel like I can hear the wind through the trees when I look at that photo.

    2nd - @SPECTRUM001 - I really like the atmosphere and the colour palette.

    3rd - @Shrews - I like the thought of seeing your boots in a different place all the time and also how you said they've gone from being heavy to like slippers.

    They are all good but I like the following:

    1st - @Shrews ; - I love Paris and this makes me want to travel again.

    2nd - @Jonathangus - I also love trees and I went to my local woods today and shot a few pics.

    3rd - @SPECTRUM001 - a minimalist art shot of the reality of lockdown.

    1. @Jimbro66 - I've never really thought of turning my colour pics into black and white.  But this has shown me that they can look classier given the right topic.  A colour pic of those guitars wouldn't have had the same effect would it? 

    2. @Fretwired - Again the black and white choice has taught me something. The b&w choice seems to highlight 'detail'.  Look how the white pigeon shit stands out!  It wouldn't have been noticeable in colour. Again, I have learned something.

    3. @cj73 - so much to see here. I love the fact there's a remote control on the desk!  Procrastination at it's best!

    A tricky decision...

    1. @skullfunkerry - This is the one I keep coming back to. A new slant ? Pure metamorphosis !!

    2. @Fretwired - The tree, the clouds, the roof and the chimney - all focal points without conflict 

    3. @Jimbro66 - A gorgeous shot - I have never seen three guitars looking so arty !

    Yet again difficult to choose only three.

    1. @Shrews. It perfectly sums up the backpacking style of travel that I love.

    2. @Fretwired. Great framing, lovely textures and perfect monochrome.

    3. @Jonathangus. An eyecatching interpretation of that type of view.

    3rd position for me was a tie between Johnathangus and @SPECTRUM001. It literally came down to the toss of a coin.....

    Well done everybody, as always.  A really close-run thing for 1st and 2nd this month, but:

    1st - @Fretwired ; really like the way the angles of the roof, the top of the trees and even the shadow divide the frame into triangles.  And works so well in monochrome.

    2nd - @Jimbro66 ; great pic - completly fulfils the brief and also looks lovely in monochrome.  Probably should flag for the amount of (guitar) pornography, though. ;)

    3rd - @skullfunkerry ; really like the simplicity of this.  And TBH, gave me the idea of shooting vertically upwards.
