April Photography Competition, 2007: Delicate

[Crispy]

Thanks, again, to Crispy for doing the thumbs and shizzle in my absence. Top modding and all for free

Just wait till I get you in a pub

 

[Firky]

You're taking me to a pub? Aawwrrr, you ARE the best mod ever

1]Skim - Crash
Love the calm and stillness in this photograph. It gives it a sinister tranquil feel to it. Like the silence when the guns fell silent on the somme...

2]Wordie - Steel Pylon in Fog
Black and white shots blow colour away when it is executed well. The cherry on the cake for me in this shot is the ghostly tree in the background.*


3]e19896 - Reflections
Nice interpretation of the theme and it reminds me of a photograph that I took called 'broken communication'. Where by I took a photograph of some telephone lines in a frozen puddle. It didn't look as good as this shot however!


I love pylons, I like the way they have blended into our countryside and become part of our landscape whilst being totally alien. Keep meaning to do a photo-essay of Pylons but its a bit sad.


-----------

Other ones I really liked are Sovietpop's St Andrew's Day, the dead mouse and LouLouBelle's Diaphanous dusk. Oddly enough one of Louloubelle's photographs I could not look at it because I *really* hate feet. Can't even touch my own

[big eejit]

Wow! Thanks everyone, I'm really chuffed!

I'm a bit hungover at the moment, but I'll try and think of a good theme as my head clears.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Woohoo, congrats Fab theme. Looking forward to this month's

 

[Guineveretoo]

Yeah, congrats to everyone - there were some beautiful photographs (as ever!). It was a good theme, too.

Clearly, however, we mustn't leave these things to firky!

 

[Crispy]

big eejit - I'll set up a folder for this month's thumbnails, so don't worry about that. (although maybe other people can look after them)

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

congrats big eejit

 

[big eejit]

Thanks all and Cheers Crispy.

I was running Gallery on my website for a bit but I got fed up with it and took it down. I can certainly try and help with the thumbnails tho if you give me access.

I was thinking the new theme could be Transport. Has it been done before? I’ll set up a new thread if not.

 

[Biddlybee]

Congrats big eejit

Transport sounds like a good un if it's not been done before.

 

[Crispy]

Just checked, and transport's not been done before.

 

[Biddlybee]

Where's the list of what has been done, just out of interest?

edit: found it http://www.urban75.org/photos/comp/sitemap.html

 

[Crispy]

I went to http://www.urban75.org/photos/comp/thumbs.html and quickly went through them. I don't think there's a list, but one could be compiled, I guess.

 

[johey24]

Congrats big eejit. Great work!! Also, I love the topic for May.

Thanks to everyone who voted for my "Feeling Delicate", or as I nicknamed him, Drunk Dick. This will definitely make me go out and try some more photos.

Pavlik, no problem. My pleasure.

Well, I am off to have a few beers to celebrate.
