Image of the Week....#15

[Steve U]

Entry period will be from Sunday to Sunday, with this week closing on the 29th September.
Only two categories; Portrait and Landscape
Portrait- Anything with eyes, people, animals
Landscape- Country, town, city, sea, abstract, things (water drops, smoke, flowers, candles and so on)

Each category will have a winner each week and this week judged hopefully by David Eccleston, I love his puppy action shots are superb.

Then a poll to sort out monthly winners.

Please supply a title for your image and what category you are entering in. Enter as many times as like, old or new images.
Start posting your new shots here.

As the judge, I don't think I can enter, but here's a portrait of Zuni anyway, just for Steve.

Title : Fly me to the moon.

Shot with a 18-200mm Lens (not great at 200mm). The image is a really small crop of the whole, that's the only way i could get the moon to look bigger than a white dot. Shot using the sunny 16 rule.

I cannot capture a shot of my grandson without his best friend "Dummy".

Alright, I'll declare this week closed. I'll be back in a bit with the lucky winners.

[DavidEccleston]

Alright, my selections are:

Portrait: Joel for his kitty. Beautiful image of a beautiful creature, nice and sharp with good separation from the distracting background.

Landscape: qwRad for his lightning. It may have been luck, but it's a fantastic shot.

Honorable mention to Wally (bouwy) for his grandson. A nice sharp portrait indoors, which can be tricky.

[Tounis]

Congratulations to the winners. Both pictures were great.

[Kayaker72]

+1. Well deserved.

[bouwy]

Congrats Guys. Great shots.

[Joel Eade]

Thanks!

[qwRad]
