November Photo Comp. -- 'All in the Detail'

[mauvais]

Hello! The new competition theme for November is "All in the Detail".

Think intricacy! Think the tiny little bits that make something special. Maybe they're the things you have to get up close to see, or maybe they're the just the things that you have to seek out and would otherwise miss. It doesn't have to be still life; it can be people, movement, anything - as long as it's related to the theme. You should be able to find all kinds of possibilities as long as you take the time to look around, which is what this is all about.

If you're lacking any inspiration whatsoever, here's some ideas I've pulled out of the archive (not entries... yet!) - they're not perfect examples and I'm sure you can do something much stronger...

Institut du Monde Arabe (architecture)
Cheeky Cat (urban art)
At The Park (a scene)
Bonsai! (a tiny bit of nature)

...so get out there and start snapping!

Ye Olde Rules:

• Up to 3 pictures allowed per person.
  
• Post up the link, not the picture.
  
• All entries must be in by the last day of November.
  
• Only use pictures you photographed yourself.
  
• If you edit the picture then tell us what you did.
  
• Please don’t change pictures once you have entered them.
  
• Voting starts on 1st December and ends on 3rd December. Anyone can vote, you don't have to have entered. Vote for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourites. 1st choice is worth 3 points, 2nd 2 points and 3rd 1 point -- the entry with the most points wins and chooses the next theme.

You can use your own web space, photo.net, photobucket.com or pbase.com to host your pictures for free - or any others you choose or see fit to use.

Votes/comments/contributions from all urbanites welcome!

First photo comp entry ever:

Eye Spy

By way of explanation, I had thought the fences were simply complex and attractive rope work - in fact they were a way of counting everything from births and deaths to the number of cattle a community had. Beautiful and useful

Taken on a cheap olympus didital and hasn't been altered at all.

[Edit - just remembered it has been altered; I shrunk it to minimise the file sizes on my web site but there's been no cropping or anything else.]

It's the colours and the range of textures in there that do it for me. Beautiful. What time of day was it taken?

[Cid]

Great theme - I have too many photos for it though

Start with this one I think:

The hollow tree (link is to large version on Pbase, but view it at original to see it in it's full, gnarly glory).
