I though one of the rules was that you don't explain the rules............

I can do you a sepia version of my one ;-)

OK, not great, but I caught my son in very contemplative pose when faced with his birthday cake - pondering what the future holds for him maybe? More likely how much cake he can manage to eat, but anyway....

Haha, look at the time of submission!

Not so fast...

S90, handheld 1/8 sec, iso80, f2.0

It looks computer generated (not meant as a bad thing, just strange!)

Nope, straight out of the camera (link)

Morning all.

Thank you to all those who submitted this time around, some good things coming through.

I really like what Richard was getting at with how the young view the concepts of now and forever; it's a direction I had hoped someone would take.

Also the couple of images shooting from dark into light, particularly the image from mentalp; there's almost nothing there but it still manages to convey a senses of anticipation, of excitement and even of trepidation at what lies beyond.

My pick has to be the image from Tantris though, there's just so much to look at, so much that keeps dragging the eye back. From what I have seen here it also seems to contain a fair bit more narrative than is usual for a Tantris image - don't know if that was consciously the case but I like it.

'Narrative' - you artsy folks really get me ;-)

Nice shot Tantris, well done.

I also liked mentalp's and Richard's photographs, and thought that mentalp would carry the day here.

Thank you very much, Coda II, for nominating my photograph. Normally it couldn't be taken from that spot, but I had noticed the previous weekend that the reed beds had been cut, and I was able to wade over some very muddy ground to get there. I shall give some thought as to the next theme.

 

[cliffpatte]

well done Tantris, that was my favourite, although I also liked Pete's.

Here's hoping you don't choose something obscure and Swiss to challenge us with ;-)

Photo theme 51 - Photos taken in the Swiss alps?

Here's hoping you don't choose something obscure and Swiss to challenge us with ;-)

'Minarets' would be a good choice, perhaps.
