There's some magnificent photos in there - all of the work is up to a great stabdard - well done!

I'm going with these three now because I'll only change my mind if I spend any more time looking (that's how close it is)

1. Desbo - Sunset Balcony
2. Barking Mad - Angle Poised Lamp posts
3. Nina - metro girl

I also really enjoyed:
Nina - stardust
Iemanja - crane in the sky
salaryman - Meat
obster970 - Pigeons
 
aaargh
what do u do if you can't decide between at least 10 really strong ones? :(
which i whittled down from 23 already!

e2a -
1. mauvais - err... nowt? - had this as my desktop for at least a week, it makes me laugh, is a great shot and it's got angles! :cool:
2. BiddlyBee - tower, great pic even tho it makes you a bit queasy, taken from a mad angle with a lot going on.
3. Desbo - Sunset Balcony - totally awesome colours and strong angles, should be a postcard.

one's i wanted to pick too
schnickschnack - View from the Capitoline Museums
mauvais - Incident Angles
Nina - metro girl
Iemanja - crane in the sky
Bob_the_lost - Even the angels will cheat at hoopla
portman - Canary Wharf station
Nina - metro girl
Louloubelle - gargoyles
riot sky - Fourteen Stories
kropotkin - sign
Desbo - Spiked Angles
hiccup - scratch the surface
refugee - Escape To The Sky
riot sky - Fourteen Stories
alef - Hill, tree and boat

and most of them to be honest :)
 
It's not easy.. most of the time I go with what reflects the theme most.. other times I pick the photos I like the most (and would have on my wall :))... probably a bit of both, now I think of it.

1 Robster970 - Pigeons . fuck know's what this has to do with angles ? but imho it was the best picture by a mile , First i thought it was loads of german bombers from world war two , then a load of insects . Best pic for me in any of the ones i have voted on !

my mrs said exactly the same thing about the angles bit - you're not alone :eek:

Goodstuff, Desbo - I suspected you may of won as soon as you entered them :cool:

Andd yay again for coming out :D

Big thanks to alef and mauvis too!
 
Wow!
that was sooo exciting and I'm chuffed to come second when there were so many incredible entries.
Congratulations to Desbo, a very well deserved win!

:cool:
 
I am SOOO chuffed!!! I've only been taking photos for a year, so this just brilliant - I've learnt a lot from you guys on here, so thanks :D

Cheers for all the congratulatory comments, and well done to Louloubelle too.

Now for the next theme... I'm not sure whether to go for another theme where you get loads of people entering, or for one that will try to encourage people to go out and take shots rather than using ones they already have.
 
oh crap
I left it too late for voting.. :(

well, it went like this anyway

1. wiskey - vallencia
2. Desbo - Spiked Angles
3. Nina - metro girl (cause i'm a perve)

Cheers for counting, mauvais. And no problem to the many thank yous from everyone for the thumbnails. Hiccup deserves the biggest thank you for consistently doing them month after month, I was happy to help over my summer break.

Wow, your photos show a fantastic eye for colour and composition. Were you previously doing art or graphics? Congrats for the well deserved win.

Thanks :D

No, never done art and graphics. Just tought myself from reading magazines, looking at websites and using this forum.

Buying a D50 has really improved my pictures no end - It means I can experiment without having to shell out loads on film processing.
 
Congratulations to Desbo for the winner (+ third place) and to Louloubelle for a really orignal entry that got second place. Also thumbs up to all who entered - a lot of very creative submissions that made selecting the top three bloody hard! Also many thanks to mauvis for the counting and Alef for the thumbnails...

...looking forward to September's challenge...

Cheers,
Dave
