Thanks Phil!

Before I get to the POTW, a couple of honourable mentions. FUJI's Eye Contact caught my eye for its clarity and capture of a real character. And chorleyjeff's Tenby Sunset appealed with its gorgeous sky and almost deserted feeling. But my choice this week is another one by chorleyjeff - Tintern Abbey. As I said on his post, this abbey has been photographed millions of times, but Jeff has managed to get a new angle on it, with some lovely soft colouring. He was successful in cutting out any modern items, and as a couple of people said, it's almost like a painting. The original thread is here. Edited to say sorry the image is so big, but it wouldn't link, so I had to paste it.

A good choice - well done Colin!

A good choice - well done Ryewolf!

Well done Polly!

Hi Adam, welcome to the forum!

A cracker of an image. Well chosen Dee, and well done BP!

Welcome, David. Good to 'meet' you.

My choice for POTW this week was difficult, as there have been some pretty brilliant images. However, I've settled for this one by Rogerw. It's not easy to photograph a kingfisher - I've only ever seen one in my life, and they move so fast! This image shows great skill and patience, and to top it all, it has a lovely plain background. Well done Roger! Original thread is here.

I hope it all works out well for you. Big hugs for Big Ollie.

A lovely image. Well done Colin!

Anyone on the POTW rota, your turn will come round one week sooner as Kev is unable to do his next one. If anyone else wants to join the panel, let me know - we could do with a few more.

Well done both of you!

Well done Sir Korks! A well-deserved winner.

A few images caught my eye this week, but none more so than this one. It's beautifully sharp with great feather detail, and those eyes are mesmerising! The out of focus background is perfect. I give you 'You are being watched' by JHFoto. Well done JH! Original thread is here.

Well done Roger!

Well done Bill!

Hi Fuji I couldn't resist doing a drawing of Big Ollie from your recent photo. If you would like it, PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

Love it - well done!

Well done Paul!

Yep, it's me again! It's actually my turn this time. Two pictures really stood out for me this week: a close second was Phil's Corgarff Castle, but the one that I keep going back to is this one, by Bill. The colours, the way the light hits the Cobb and the tops of the waves, plus the simplicity of the composition, all make it a total wall-hanger for me. Well done Bill! Original thread is here.

A good choice - well done Paul!

Well done!

I'm standing in for Chris today, as the forum is doing very strange things on his computer. The image that has really attracted me this week is Ternand, by Kev7d. It's a lovely bright summery picture, and really makes me want to walk into it. The bright flowers also make a lovely splash of colour against the neutral tones of the path and the buildings. Well done Kev! Original thread is here.
