Target Practice

I really like this shot (although would have preferred it in the pattern challenge last week - though as I am sure always happen this was a shot that you could not get withing the time frame of that one)

Really nice repetitive patterns, strong leading lines, good sharpness and a nice dollop of humour as well

Blue Glow

I loke this way more than I feel I should do, beautiful range of cool blue tones and I love the neon strip effect around the edge of the handbasin

Not 100% sure about the running tap which is perhaps a little distracting, but this is a minor imperfection (imo) on what is great shot

I have to confess to generally not being a huge fan of studio shots but this one has a wonderous simplicity and beauty that just over powers my petty prejudices

Stunning composition and a beautiful array of cool blue tones

A great great image - but I get the feeling that you probably already knew that. 9 from me

Wow, I hope you have put your processing steps in your description because I would love to have a go at creating this wonderful effect, beautiful pastel colouring and a wonderful aged effect (like a picture that you would see in a 1950's magazine)

Yet this is about more than clever PP I love the image, the strong diagonal leading line and the edge of the traffic lights running done across a rule of third point

Beautiful

What a fantastic entry in the challenge. I love the composition of this image and the division between the two colours is fantastic and wonderfully offset by the bench

Minimalistic in some respects yet packs a real punch

Looking Down on a Scarred Landscape

If this is a 5 then I am a chicken called Henry!!

What a fantastic shot that met the challenge in a breathtaking way

I just love the way the topography has been caught and produced such a harsh sharp patchwork quilt effect

I am staggered at how you did not get any reflection from the airplane window and of how - in far from ideal conditions - you got such great textures colours and sharpness

Scored this an 8 in the challenge and think I was being very stingy

Beautiful

A Room with a View

Sometimes your pictures almost make me cry.

Not only because of their wonderful intinsic beauty but also because I realise my own inadequacies

I have tried to take an image like this of a building in the UK loads of times and have never produced anything that comes even within touching distance of this

Wonderful dof gives sharpness throughout, the lighting gives the image a luminosity which is breathtaking and the pattern itself is just incredible

In our offices we have a number of large framed B&W shots of abstract architectural patterns and let me tell you that none of them are as good as this

Another one of your images that is heading straight to my favourites

Watch out guys...That hurts!

Peter welcome back to the fray!!!!

I love the idea and the 'tear' rolling down the face of the lead peep is wonderful and gives what is essentially a funny shot a touch of melancholy

If I am being honest for my taste the lighting is a litte harsh but not terribly so

Great leading diagonal as well

I love the delicacy of this shot, the sharpness of the middle fold of lace is stunning and fantastically accentuated by the fore and back ground bokeh

Very nice B&W conversion as well, stong without being overpowering

Looks like at least one of us is getting to grips with their macro lens

Excellent

Aquatic

Slightly unusually take on the challenge which actually works very nicely. Love the colouring that you have achieved which really does give the shot the aquatic feel of the title

Very nice
