Working The Forest and Riverbank (one for the ladies......) Taken Monday 7 Sept 2015 - This guy (one of my bosses, aren't I lucky?) is actually chopping then stripping willow, to 'bank up' the riverside to prevent erosion. This is called 'Spilling'. This is an area where salmon have recently been introduced and as a team build, we were helping clear the riverbank and 'spilling' it. Part of the Governments Community 10,000 initiative.

Poll up - sad theres only 3. Was it the theme that put people off or were people too busy/loosing interest? What might attract more entries?

[Phoenix]

sometimes people just don't feel comfortable photographing people they don't know. I guess we will always have challenges that have low numbers.

don't be discouraged... 

[ChrisLumix]

It may be that a weekly competition is losing interest? At any rate, I hope Phil brings back those open-ended competitions that didn't close until a minimum number of entries had been reached (but they too lost popularity after a while if I remember).

[CanonChrissy]

It's still in its honeymoon period......shouldn't yet be flagging.

[Ryewolf]

The clue is in the name:Challenge, as well as being an intersting experiment, it also should challenge us as photogrhers to go out there and do something that we wouldn't normally do. I've enoyed the challanges so far and taking part. Long may they continue. I hope it isnt flagging , but rather some challanges are more difficult to complete than others.

[Kobione]

Sorry - way to busy a week for me, but I did quite like the subject. Hopefully I can something in to the next one

[CanonChrissy]

Game on......voting getting tense

[CanonChrissy]

Well done ryewolf. I thought for a brief moment I might have drawn level but your mono image was deservedly voted the winner. Looking forward to new theme.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Chrissy, and to everyone who voted and took part. Better get a new theme up and running...

[Phil]

Congratulation, RW   

A massive apologies from me, I've had a few personal problems that have kept me away for the last 2 weeks, should be getting back to normal now.

The Weekly comps are an excellent idea, members are forced into thinking outside the box due to the time constraints. This particular theme was difficult one in that you would need to specifically go out looking for 'Men at Work'.

Chris, the Auto comps will return, I'm just waiting for the software developer to get back to me with a compatible version.

Nice one RW! 

[Kobione]

Well done RW!!

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Phil, Kev and Kobione, I wanted to be a steam train driver when I was young... Portraits and people aren't one of my strongpoints, I;ll admit that,but I'll give anything a go. I may have said this before, but I've really enjoyed the weekly challenges, it gives you something to focus on - a particular subject matter. I;ve been to 6 places loking for the right image for the Public Art Challange and I just love it....

[Phoenix]

Well done Ryewolf, its a great image and even better in monochrome

[Clicker]

Another pat on the back RW.... Well done you!
