Thanks for all the great entries this week. I was not expecting quite so many and I’ve been hovering over my PC for quite some time now going through them all. Sorry I’ve not commented on every shot, there are just so many and I’ve been super busy at work so did not get a chance to view the completion until this evening. Anyway onto some comments for many of the standout shots this week!
Sealonsf – lovely rich warm tones. The comp is spot on as well. All round cracking picture.
TenZ.NL – very cool shot. Nice repetition of silhouettes through out the scene. Also captured a great sunset. This shot has it all and is one of my favourites.
Clou – real nice soft blue sky in this one and I love all the people milling around on the ridge.
Fotogaffer – nice interesting tree in foreground. Its sometimes nice to have an a silhouette which has a small amount of light and detail in it like this.
Bruce – Very cool shot. A few years back I was a keen wake boarder so spent many days watching friends board and Ski. This really brings back some memories and is a cracking shot executed perfectly.
K-David – lol hard luck dude. I don’t think there’s any rule about posting the same subject matter (although I know what you mean when you’d rather post something different), Nice shot anyway!
Chrisnmn – great mono and love the over exposed sun in the background. Also the slight movement from the guy in the foreground adds some movement to the shot.
Mehl – yep love it but trying to think why. It’s a great B&W image for a start and you’ve caught the couple walking just on the crest of a ridge creates a perfect silhouette. I think it hides enough to allow the viewer to make their own mind up to where they have come from or are going.
Alkazalsir – Very nice image. Great comp and subject for a silhouette.
Workingdog – lovely tones and really nice simple comp (but it really works IMO).
Kkoether – awesome shot. Great silhouette so fills the brief and really interesting subject. What’s the guy throwing out a net??
Tobyshootspentax – nice shot. Love these evening/morning shots in the forest.
Jezzeppi – perfect framing. Real nice family shot.
Dosdan – lovely action shot. Nice blue tones and very different to may of the other sunset shots..
Jaylie – wow those colours!! Fantastic.
altOption - This is a cracking shot. Really unusual the way the colours fade from blue to orange leaving a perfect silhouette of the buildings.
Scratchpaddy – Another cracking shot. Love the subject matter, really different and they really stand out against the soft orange sky.
Firstly a couple of runner up shots. Found it really difficult choosing a winner from these three:
Tenz.NL - cracking shot. Whats not to like about this one. It may be a cliché but I love it.
Scratchpaddy - really like it. The soft graduating tones with the spindly razor sharp phone masts on the hill just catch my attention. Sometimes you don’t know why you like a shot, you just do its simple as that (and I like this one).
Winner - kkoether with ‘Days end’. Just a perfectly executed picture IMO with great balance and colours. I imagine there was a lot of sitting and waiting around to get this shot.
