September Photography Competition - Architecture

I apologize already, but goodness peeps, judging from recent entries, this group has fallen on hard times. Isa adsr seems to be the newbie exception. I see one poster even posted a photo of some place in Barcelona sideways .... an attempt at pretentious art, lol?

And how does the one of the two whooly hats looking at a 22nd century moon fit into the theme.... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3101/2827277535_ac8469ccc4_o.jpg

Really.

Its the Sizewell B Reactor building dome. Its 45m in diameter and 65m high with a hemispherical white roof dome. So I cannot see what the problem is? This competition is only meant to be a bit of fun or are you suggesting we adopt photography club type rules :D

Here is another one:

agreed and come on people give it some thought as some have, there is a shit load out there, for my craft i went through catacombs of doom, the stench of ammonia was foul. Torchlight caught a pigeon chick, blind and helpless, waiting in its crude nest for nourishment to be brought from the world above. The grey world above now a memory of brightness. it was hell, all for taking images of Stanley Royd Asylum Chapel - Church of St Faiths and with a thought some might be used for this comp, non turned out as good as i wanted but keep on trying, and perhaps some people need to make an effort?

Are we trying to dictate some new form of rules - this is U75 not my local stuck up photo club!! Can we not interpret Architecture in any way we want. My much maligned entry was trying to point out the interaction between some groups of society and architecture. The white dome is hideous and ruins the skyline on England's heritage coast and to be quite frank needs demolishing. Some people have no imagination and can only see the picture - didn't the radioactive glow give any hints :D

not at all, for me it had more about people than the subject and yes open for our own point of view agreed, it was more an image of people than the subject itself, but then this is subjective?

I have a thing about photographing hats and what people are looking at or doing - so could be a few more entries like this in the future :D

See what I mean:

Come on then Johey,
I'm waiting for you to blow the competition apart with some amazing entries.
:p
 
Never, never, never entered one of these before, but given it's architecture, and given I live in the shadow (ish) of a Brutalist classic, I thought I'd give the point-and-click treatment to Preston Bus Station
