Ahhh Ok, looks really serious. I still think you need a focal hook to catch us on this one.

I'm trying to figure out what this is...? The top of a chimney, a lighthouse, an observatory? What is the hook? (the focal point to catch us)

Good idea to put this on an angle for setting it in this kind of format always brings a tinge of excitement rather than straight up and down (which oftentimes works as well depending on what you want).

Is this the Burning Man Festival I've heard so much about? It feels really huge this photo of Pakefield Man.

Congrats, this is brilliant Brian

Congrats Brian

Loved this one. Congrats.

Congrats!

Congrats. Beautiful car and shot

Wow!!! That is a SWEEEEET car!

Good on you ! Congrats.

Hey, I don't think you can use this photo for two contests...you have it up in the "HORSE" contest....the mods will take it down and you will lose a spot on the contest...so hurry up and replace it.

Nice sharp eyes.

grrrreat. To my eyes could use a touch more exposure to pop it .

What a tweety pie (sweety pie). Nice one....love the colours, I've never seen this bird this close.

Your POV makes me wonder where you are as all the folk are standing behind her. A good catch but slightly soft...which really doesn't matter.

Like the POV and the colour palette . A nice clear shot.

You may have cropped this too tightly for my eyes hunger to see more of this helicopter.

WOW....top of the shelf!

Nice and sharp, would have been more exicting in colour I think.

See that oar? You know what I will say, don't you? Nice shot tho'could show more emotion.

Oh my what has caught their attention. This photo is a tease!

Reminds me of Canada's maritime province Newfoundland. Nice one.

another nice one Brian, congrats.

YAYAYAYAYA Congrats Brian.

NOthing is reliable anymore with FAKE news, FAKE people, FAKE skirmishes, FAKE presidents, FAKE executions, but Wiki knows more than I do

Shows why Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source, although Golliwogs do have racist roots.

I like the monochrome for it is well done with good tonal ranges. I do think that the umpire lacks a certain sparkle, standing like a telephone pole showing no emotion at all with back to us. Technically you have a huge dust spot by his cap and that needs to be removed. Formatting him into the rule of 3's helps but doesn't save the image.

Here is something from Wikipedia.

In March 2007, Greater Manchester Police seized two golliwogs from a shop after a complaint that the dolls were offensive..


Soon, in the UK, in order not to cause offense, it is said that Sharia Law will come into effect and all women will have to wear a hijab.

Such an innocuous and cute doll and too much PC.

I like this shot, thank you.

Nice solid image and good story. Well taken and well seen.

this is really interesting

love this

beautiful, congrats !

Congrats Photonut!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. I know the 'ball ' is dirty and not your lens but with spot remover you could eliminate all that dirt. It is such a great shot and brought me a giggle this morning here in Vietnam.

Yes, live and learn, too bad our time is quickly running out

This is a well composed shot and doesn't look like you just walked about and snapped it. The fact you left some of the background in the photo adds to the story and your pov coming in close to the baskets gives a good solid feel. If you have photoshop you could have darkened the sky in somewhat to give a more dramatic effect. Nonetheless, it is a grand shot.

A happy snappy shot! We see this often and it brings a smile to my face.

Tight crop, really tight why did you nip off his fingers? Focus is on mending nets tho'...well seen. What colour were the nets?

I like the tight crop and pensive look of the fisherman. Colour would have been good too me thinks!

You have captured bygone days, educational and an enjoyable view.

.......and me too. Always tricky with levels.

I think this could use a bit more brightness as it appears dull.

Not colorful this one, but a great reflection.

Please check the level on this photo as it seems to lean to the left. Also, the intense blowouts of white on the right-hand side may be brought down a touch with shadow/highlight lever. I like these kinds of photos, antique....

Congrats Brian !

Congrats Brian !

A geriatric tour? Nice and clear.

Yay for two and three !

CoNGRATS on two and three
