Photo Comp - June - 'Technicolour'

[Sid James]

A quick shot from the front garden after I got home from work. Been waiting ages for the Livingston Daisies to bush up.

[SimonB]

Worth the wait. Very nice.

Right, obviously entries have now closed for this comp, so now it's down to Moosedude to shortlist 5 candidates and then I'll sort out a poll to pick a winner.

Can I nominate this one as my final entry then. Reckon the inside church one is better but it's an old piccy.

that time already? difficult task this month!

[moosedude]

oki, the shortlist is (in no particular order)

1) Fil, Jellybabies; this is a simple idea executed well

2) Rik, Butterfly; I'm not quite sure if this fits into the subject, but I like the splash of green colour which has been used to good effect, its just a really professional photograph that I cannot stop looking at.

3) Tufty, Strawberry; Really strong red colour, with some nice close-up detail.

4) Basshead, Beach Huts; Really nice perspective

5) Nyarla, Clothes Pegs; Quite unusual and unexpected, a good photograph of the ordinary

Others I liked;

Bod, Poppies; Just a really lovely photo.
Sid James; Nice flower explosion.
Xstreme; I haven't quite worked out how you got your bike as green as you did, and I liked the girly picture as well; to avoid going all gushy I really like your work.
Simon B; Lavender picture has good composition

anybody not mentioned, well quite frankly are still ace and I've enjoyed keeping one eye on this thread and seeing something unexpected and of high quality!

- Phill.

Choice between two for me, voted.

[defsdoor]

I've voted for the one that although technically isn't a clever or complicated photo is well selected and I think epitomises the topic completely. I only wish I could have had the opportunity to take it - I thought about my photo long in advance and was a little disappointed when I arrived and there wasn't as many or as varied flags as I remembered from previous years

[piku]

I voted for the excellently edible one because it's given me an idea on how to teach depth of field to my A-Level photography class in the summer

[grue]

It was a draw between Tufty's and Nyarla's but in the end Nyarla's dark undertones won me. It's like a frozen moment before something happens. Lovely.

[Stephen]

I had to vote for Basshead's. I score very poorly on those Ishihara Color Blindness tests, but that picture just screamed full on colors to me.

Tough choice though - all were great photos.

[Xstreme]

I'm in. Like this voting lark!

[gravy]

PEGZ for me too
