How to Share Your Pick

Think the contrast between all the bramble spikes and the twisted branches makes this one a super image by Robert!

[Tersha]

Agree David, great photo by Robert. I like the really sharp thorns versus the oof background.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Yeah, agreed, that is a very good shot of tea and a great selection.

[Robert Apple]

Thanks David for the pick and Diane and Rob for the kind words.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I really should read my nonsensical replies before I hit submit. This dictation software seems to have some limitations. LOL.

[Robert Apple]

I just assumed it was an Aussie thing.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the contrast in the photo. Great photo Robert and great pick David 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

[Robert Apple]

Thanks for the pick and your comment on both Dahlia

[Dahlia Ambrose]

And this creative play with light and shadows by Patrick @patrickw-2 in the weekly photography challenge – shadows and light

[Patrick]

Very kind Dahlia thank you very much 🙂

[Robert Apple]

Definitely a cool photo Patrick, but I need clarification, Is this Batman, or Big Daddy ?

[Patrick]

I thought it was darth vader 😀 so you could get away with Big Daddy if you push it a touch

[Robert Apple]

Charmaine Joubert ‘s ( @joubie ) Owl photo in the Weekly Photography Challenge #771 Shadows and Light! is definitely a stunner, and it’s great to see her posting these lovely wildlife photos again.

[Patrick]

Thanks for picking this one i was about to but wanted to check here and glad i did , Great pick and well deserved Members Pick.

Smashing work as ever Charmaine 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

I so agree. I’ve missed Charmaine’s beautiful animal portraits. The owl is one of your “stunners”.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Ha ha, I literally came into the thread to post this exact picture. Well done. @joubie it’s a cracker.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Stunning photo Charmaine and love that bit of last soft golden light illuminating one side of the owl. Great pick 🙂

One of my fav pics this year on Ls , one from Robs daily shots Thread

Rob’s Daily Shot

The composition overall is quality , the edit has been beautifully handled.

There is a saying i am sure you have all heard before and that is

I think that emotional content is an image’s most important element, regardless of the photographic technique – Anne Geddes

This one for me does just that , great job Rob 🙂 @admin-2

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Ha! Thanks mate!

[Patrick]
