POTW - w/e 17/02/19
Hatter posted a topic in POTW,
There have been plenty of excellent images to choose from... but I managed to narrow it down to five, before finally picking one.
So... honourable mentions go to:
Paul for his excellent macro of a ladybird (#2 in this thread: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21911-ladybird/ )
Paul again for his Nasty Weevil (#3 in this thread: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21918-nasty-weevil/ )
RogerW for his Kingfisher (#1 in this thread: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21922-siskin-and-kingfisher/ )
Fuji for his wonderfully quirky "Two Faced": (http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21890-two-faced/ )
But my choice for this week's winner is Johntwo's "Arrivals & Departures":
The low viewpoint, wide angle, bright colours and really effective composition made this the stand-out image of the week for me.

Well done, John!

The encyclopedic website should help you if you need the list of teams and their nicknames, you have well over 100 to choose from. There are plenty of obvious ones like the birdy ones but there are also plenty to challenge you if you should so desire.
Usual rules apply pictures can be new or archive images and entry submission closes at midnight 8th February.
Good Luck.

Johntwo's 'Lindisfarne Boat Hulls' gets a very honourable mention for its superb processing.
Longman's 'Misty Morning Sunrise' gets likewise - beautifully atmospheric, beautifully processed.
RogerW's 'Nuthatch' shots also get a massive thumbs-up, as do NikonMikes' swan images. Top stuff!
They were all serious contenders, but.........
In the end, I went for an image that came up on the rails at the last minute and really twanged my braces with its detail, its composition and its lovely simplicity. I've chosen Leon's 'Robin' as my POTW.
Well done, Leon - that one's a real belter.

POTW - Week ending 27/01/2019
Ryewolf posted a topic in POTW,
In macro and close-up we had Kobione's massive spider and Paul's Opilione (Harvestman). There were plenty of birds from Roger, Bill, Denis and JamesT. There was a nice crop of landscapes from David from the Leeds/Liverpool canal, Morton Castle at night from Scott, a very atmospheric Loch Lomond from The Longman and a very cold looking Hunstanton from Vanguard. FUJI provided some excellent street photography as usual and there were excellent images from John of the Fredriks Kirke in Copenhagen, elsewhere we had some great monochromes from Vanguard and Clicker.
However, there were a set of images that drew me back, they were quirky, innovative, expertly composed and made me smile and far too good to be in The Just For Fun section. It was difficult to choose just the one:

So congratulations to Brian
Also a honourable mention to Simon's (SJR) Craig's Super Wolf Blood Moon that made everyone smile.

Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
However......where do I start!! So many lovely pictures to keep up with this last week, and it is great to see the level of activity, and also seeing some people around that have been 'missing' for a while.
We have had lovely Bokeh and Berries, really nice Colours in the Rain, lovely views of Parndon Mill, fantastic street photography, as usual by Fuji, and a few more that came into consideration for this week.
I have gone with one that certainly gave me a 'WOW' as I first viewed the thread. This is a superb set, with fantastic detail in every shot, lovely gentle background, and perfect captures of
'a moment in time'.
Was hard to pick a favourite from this set, so I've used the first picture, but the whole set are well worth a look!
Soo...well done Rogerw, great set, fantastic detail, brilliant action shots, a bit of humour in there too with the way the Starling is landing in No 2

POTW w/e 11.11.18
Anyway, the one I'm going for is Woody Woodpecker, by JohnTwo. These lovely creatures are very hard to spot, let alone photograph (I remember my try at a green woodpecker!), and John's made a great job of it. He described it as 'the quality is not what it might otherwise be', but it looks absolutely fine on my PC!
Well done John!

Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
However, it has been a Halloween Week and, even though we don't all go overboard with Halloween events etc. I've gone with Craig's lovely picture of pumpkins and a nice glass of wine. The composition is great, the colours are beautifully warm and spot on against the background, and perfect for your time of year. There is lots of lovely detail when viewed large too.
So well done Craig, that is a lovely warming picture!
