There's been some splendid photography on the forum over the last week and the following images were the standout shots for me.......... Fuji's great portrait 'The Red Hat' shows off his street portraiture skills brilliantly well. A great image! Rywolf's terrific shot "Working Hard' had me going back again and again - it narrowly missed being POTW. However........ This weeks star of the show for me is Hatter's super character study 'Man and Machine'. I really love the way the image tells a story of how much that steam engine is loved by its owner. Machine is pristine whilst man is happy to wear grubby overalls and sport grubby finger nails - now that's true love. Well done, Gareth, it really is a belter! Korky

Will Clickerina make it on time? By my reckoning she has fourteen minutes. Korky

Woooooooo!!!!!!! A dollop of kudos and a trinket. I never thought it'd happen to little old me. Korky BTW - had a hosi visit yesterday and who should I bump into but Matron. Seems she's now chucked her job in at Sunnyside Meadows and taken up a post as Senior Nit Nurse in a home for elderly aristocratic gentlemen. She tells me they have a room free so we're meeting for lunch next Thursday.

Love that job title......... Kudos Dolloper....... Excellent! God, what must other forums make of us lot, eh? Korky

Front-page headline in today's edition of the Wallamagoo Chronicle.......... DIGITAL DEE DOES the DAILY DOLLOP DOUBLE! Good on ya, sport. Korky

Here's one I made earlier - about twelve months earlier to be honest. I photographed the peacock on a National Trust visit and after I'd played around with it for a while I came up with the notion of giving the image an oriental feel. Sort of. Using textures, brushes, masks and a few dozen expletives, I eventually came up with this. Korky The Peacock on the Wall

Thought I might have stood a chance until up comes Frau Klik with another blinder. There just aint no justice. Well done Polly - enjoy the kudos! Korky

What a superb bunch of images - good luck, Dee, I'm glad it's not me to choose a winner. Korky

Rye will be along shortly to pick the daily winner. Korky

Why wait? I'd just eat it in the car.? And then buy another to take home for tea! Korky BTW - Where's the WORDS up to? Is it me? Or is it thee? My dear old iPad goes bugger-up with Words on a regular basis.

Rye has started a new thread for today - there's already two posts. Korky

Time to award the kudos and Monday's dollop goes to Denis for that superb sky with the cranes silhouetted against it. Well done, sir, kudos on its way via cycle courier. Tuesday's winner to be selected by Ryewolf, who'll then pass the baton to Kobione. Korky

Well done, Polly - a right belter of an image. Korky

It's Monday (just checked with Alexa) so here's my effort...... Another Busy Day in Paradise

Please post Monday's image in this thread, ensuring it's a shot not posted before. OK to pick a shot from the archives. We'll have a daily winner chosen by an expert panel of competent, knowledgeable, highly paid and really clever photografists who will NOT accept bribes. And then....... we'll have an overall winner chosen by vote when the seven days are up and the daily winners are in. Go for it and enjoy. Korky

I think one or two of us on the forum have lost a little of the photographic passion over the last few weeks. There's a new weekly challenge on its way, so maybe that will encourage you to put the new lenses to good use. Welcome back. BTW. Korky

Welcome back, James - that's some kit you got there. Korky

Well done, Fooj. You're right, he does look a bit sad - I think that's what makes the photograph. Korky

You have my thoughts, too, Dee. Take care of yourself. Korky

This really is a superb POTW - well done, Clix. Korky
