Photo Comp October 2014 - 'Stone'

[GoatFoam]

Not just one stone, but several.

Shortlist of 3:

PFVA - Round
I like this because it looks like a little world in it's own right. The seaweed at the top look like hills, and the limpets like another continent. And I guess to the things living on it, that lump of rock is their world...

Dvorak - Against The Sea, Against Our Bane [Norderney Groyne Stone]
I must confess to enjoying all of Dvoraks photos. Always full of atmosphere, and this one doesn't disappoint. I like this because even with the light in the top left, it's not obvious what the orientation of this is.

Goatfoam - Not one stone...
There's something about this. The photo itself draws you in to the ruin - but when you look wider the landscape seems to focus in on it as well. If it was in a game, you'd be activating it somehow - can just picture a glowing beam shooting out of the top

Bright stuff spewing out of the top of a rock hard column you say?

sorry

Hmm, I did just realise that *technically* Gribbles shortlist was wrong as he picked Paula's first pic, rather than the last one which is her default entry, but fuck it, I'd rather see people post multiple entries than none at all, and I reckon Paula deserve a special prize for most consistent photo poster on YY anyway!

Well... if i'm the one winning, and actually i voted for GoatFoam's "not just one..", loved that castle ruin, the way the light is showing the detail and the surrounds, in anyway that means i have to be the one choosing the theme for nxt month.

In that case the team is "Cold". Interpret it as you wish fm ice cubes to just plain cold, but something that when looking gives a feeling of cold.

Feel free to remove me from the winning list though, as that was the first pic i placed and it had been taken in September before the comp was announced.

I thought the round pic was the best one this month by miles. I vote we bend the rules

Also, I can probablty manage "cold".

The ruins are part of Llanthony Priory - well worth a visit if you find yourself in south eastern Wales. There is a pub built into the vaults under part of the wall that serves excellent food.

This was a clear win for Paula.

I cannot see how discussing rules would increase the fun of this nice little competition.

Cold then?
