Well done BP - a worthy winner!

Some lovely images again this week, making it quite difficult to choose. My favourite, though, is this one by Bill. The colours are fantastic, with a wonderfully moody sky, and there's a nice lead-in with the pathway through the crop. The light is good, too, catching the trees in the middle ground well. If I were still painting landscapes, I'd love to have a go at this one! Well done Bill! The original thread is here.

Well done Bill!

A great shot - well done Paul!

A great choice - well done Jeff!

A good range of subjects and treatments this week, and yet again, I've gone for a subject that doesn't usually appeal to me at all. I'm not in the least bit interested in any form of competitive sport, but this image really stands out for me. The Cisco Kid, by John2, has been caught at exactly the right moment, with a fantastic motion blur, but the car and its driver pin sharp. I hate to think where you must have been standing to get this front-on view! Well done John - a very professional image. The original thread is here.

Well done Denis, a really lovely image.

Well done Colin - a great shot!

Well done Gareth!

Well done Gareth, and a good choice Kobione!

This week's choice is a little different for me, as I don't often choose portraits. But this chap, in Fuji's 'Practicing what I preach' thread, really appeals. He looks a true character, and Fuji has caught his very direct gaze with a lovely sharp photograph. The blurred background puts the focus squarely on the man's face. Well done Fuji, and kudos to you for daring to ask him to pose! The original thread is here.

Fantastic - well done Bill!

Well done Gareth!

Good one! Well done John!

Brilliant choice! Well done Polly!

Welcome Gareth! Good to see you here.

There have been some absolute stonkers this week, making it very difficult to choose just one, but the absolute stand-out photo for me is this one, Black Pearl's Poppies. I could see this on a poster or a calendar. I love the colours in it, and with that soft light it's just bursting with atmosphere. There's a great depth in it too, with the clearer poppies in the foreground, the middle band of poppies and trees, and then the distant hills. Well done BP! The original thread is here.

A very well deserved win!

Well done Mike! A good choice, Polly.

Good choice! Well done Polly!

Hello Michael, welcome to the forum!

Well done BP!

A nice range of photos again this week. The one that's caught my eye this time is "It's mine, all mine" by JHPhoto. As you might have noticed, I often go for a quirky one that makes me smile, and this is it. I wouldn't like to try and take that titbit away from him! I also like the rich colours, in what is a fairly limited palette. Well done JH! The original thread is here.

Well done Paul! This one attracted me with its bright colours - just what I needed on a very dull day.
