Hatter posted a topic in POTW,
There were quite a few really good images to choose from this week.
Honourable mentions go to:
Barbara for These Boots and
VW Golf for Guess what I'm shooting in my social distancing time?
But my choice for this week is this fabulous Isle of Man harbour from johntwo:
I love the processing on this and the image really appealed to me as it looks so much like a scene from my beloved Cornwall.

Ryewolf,POTW ~ Week Ending 08/09/2019
There has been the usual high standard of shots for me to choose from and I shall do a few honorable mentions.
First honorable mention is Fuji who has been on a one man mission this week with his new DIY lens with some wonderful results. I particularly liked the bee and the watch shot.
Next picture that caught my eye was Rogerw and his capture of a weasel, quite a rare sight so an excellent capture.
Sneaking in late into my thinking was the wonderful set of sunset pictures from Rybear I especially liked the second shot.
And clever entries from Clicker & Ryewolf they nearly turned my head as I mentioned in a picture from last week I'm a sucker for an owl picture.
But this week my POTW goes to.............................. JohnP for this wonderful shot of a pair of Large Red Damselflies < (click for full thread)
The red bodies against the crossing green leaf, the detail in the delicate gossamer wings all make for a wonderful picture.

Ryewolf,POTW - w/e 11/8/2019
Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
So, what have we seen this week - we've seen some nice bits of New Zealand, thanks to Stravinsky, Ryewolf gave us some nice views from Pendle Hill, and also some very nice vintage trucks in his Harrogate run thread.
Nature, Wildlife and Pets has been very active - lots of bees, butterflies and birds - obviously your Summer season despite the erratic weather.
I have gone with one from a nice set by Hatter in the Macro threads, where again we had more nice butterflies, & grasshoppers etc.
I really like the gentle blurred background, and the focus on the butterflies, especially this one, the second in the set, but all of them are well worth a look.
So well done Gareth - great set, lovely subjects and perfect presentation!

Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
A really nice mix of flies, butterflies and bees in the macro section too - you are obviously more Summery than us, so nice subjects.
There was one image that caught my eye as a very interesting subject, with lots of detail to look at, a perfect low view point to capture the best of that engine, and nice processing to give us the final image to look at, so this is the one I've gone with.
So well done with this one Denis, what a great subject, very nice composition, and interesting to see both versions in the thread discussion too!

Ryewolf,POTW - w/e 30/06/19
Well, as always, we've had some real belters this week....... Rye's train photographs were well up to standard (good to see 'em in colour), Hatter's Cornwall images were right up my street with the Topaz twiddles he so expertly gave them and PanasonicMike's insect pics really were top notch.
But there's only one POTW and when Roger posted his image of Barney it absolutely blew my socks off. Metaphorically speaking of course as with this hot weather I've been wafting around the grounds of the manor in nowt but the skimpy shorts and sweaty vest that Matron likes to see me wearing.
Ladies and gentlemen of TIPF............. I give you Barney the Barn Owl. Take a bow, Roger, it's a truly superb image.
Now, back to the serious stuff......... I should be so lucky - Lucky, lucky, lucky - I should be so lucky in love..............

Ryewolf,POTW - w/e 9/6/2019
Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
Rogerw gave us some stunning pictures from his visit to Neil Neville's Hide - fantastic Roger, well done. I was seriously thinking of making you my potw choice again!
Suddenly Nikonmike has popped up with some very nice bees shots, Ryewolf has been catching Egrets very nicely and there are some very nice shots of a bridge from JamesT, and a couple of nice ones from sjr, including the Cocker, and a lighthouse.
My final choice is probably not unexpected. I loved this shot the moment I saw it because it hit me so personally with some wonderful memories - and the fact that it was one of my most visited, and favourite places to go, when we were back there in UK and lived in Shropshire.
The view is stunning - yes, it looks a bit cool - all nicely coated up and hands in pockets, but having the three people in the shot, spread apart nicely also adds to the overall result, even the clouds are nice too!
So well done David for a fantastic shot, and, as already said, thank you for sharing!

Hatter posted a topic in POTW,
I managed to narrow it down to four before choosing a winner.
Honourable mentions go to:
Stravinski for Fiordland, New Zealand - a stunningly "blue" landscape
RogerW for the Skylark in Cornwall Visit - just one of a wonderful set of bird photographs
Ryewolf for The 580 Gallon Tea Making Machine - a really quirky shot that I found very interesting.
But my favourite shot this week is Clicker's "Happy Days": a perfectly processed image of times gone by.

However....
I've gone for a POTW that instantly grabbed me by its sheer wackiness. It's the first shot from Ryewolf's Two Times Four and I just love it. It tells a great story of what's obviously been a super day out and all the little elements of the photograph come together brilliantly well to both amuse and hold the interest. So much so that I've come back to it a number of times just to enjoy the image a little more.
And....
I've got to ask the question......... Why IS that glove hanging from those glasses?
Well done, Rye, ya done good!

Ryewolf,POTW Week ending 19th May 2019
Clicker posted a topic in POTW,
There has been a really fantastic number of quality images posted on the Forum this week and even as I type I am not sure which one is going to be the winner. It really seems a shame that only one of the images from this week will grace our POTW Gallery I thought I had the winner on Monday I was so impressed with The Sunsets at Broad pool on the Gower by bf1150whatever ( I always refer to him by his name Ryland) Then Ryewolf posted Evening Light on the Rochdale canal and I thought Hmmm it's between these two then Roger came up with a whole set of fabulous birds including a beauty of Colin the Cuckoo; Next Johntwo produced a simply stunning Hoverfly Surphus Ribesii.. Just when I thought my head wouldn't be turned again Craig's Dexter stole my heart with that manipulated Blue Steel look.. What an expression ! Then Beepy turns up with some innovative tiny landscapes in the sand that were so creative followed by some pinhole experiments that blew me away ... I just loved them .. and latterly Hatter and Rye both produced abstracts that really took my fancy ,; Hatter with some studwork in the 52 project that looked awesome and Rye with his well seen Rooster Feathers ... so you can see my dilemma this week ... what a great collection of images folks ... I applaud you all .... but my winning picture this week is the last in the set called the Lookout by Ryland ... erm bfb1150etc Classic in it's simplicity perfect in the monotone execution and just beautifully composed in that great Light .... Really well done Ryland ... brilliantly photographed .....

Ryewolf,POTW - Week Ending 5/5/2019
Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
Some very nice ducks from John2, and an 'intense look' in his Waiting for the Whistle.
A very wet pigeon from Fuji too, so another interesting week
Then I came across this set from RogerW, his Dartford Warblers and these pictures certainly had a wow factor - so sharp, beautiful colour, both the bird feathers and the plant against such a gentle background, and apparently not an easy subject to catch. This is the first of the set but all are beautiful and well worth a look;
So well done Roger, so glad that you finally got to capture a bird you had been trying for so long to get, and you did it so well!
