[John Thompson]

I have always like the color in this one

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

[ElinL]

Beautiful. Looks very hot !

[John Teate]

Feels like a storm approaching and the desert awaits.  Very pretty.

[Patrick]

Lovely work , you captured so much drama in the sky , love the overall colour pallet john , nicely done mate.

[davidc]

Great stuff John. Your landscapes always remind me of a film set.

[John Thompson]

Or this one

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

 

[ElinL]

Amazing shot Mr Thompson. Keep coming back to it. One for a very big wall !

[Tersha]

I’ve always loved both of these John, perfect for the Challenge!

[Click]

Cool Customer

[Bobbie]

The cool feeling really comes through here Click. The composition with the lines leading in opposite directions is wonderful also.

[Patrick]

Absolutely love it , nice work Click.

[ElinL]

Brilliant Click !

[Andre P.]

Very cool, indeed. Gives me chills. The seagull (?) seems to appreciate

[Dave Watkins]

Wow. Terrific shot.

[Tersha]

Amazing image Click, perfectly cool for the Challenge!

[John Teate]

Can’t really say anymore than what has been said.  Wonderful shot!

[Pat Garrett]

A real winner, Click!

[Robert Apple]

Lovely Click

[davidc]

Great shot Click.

[Erik Fransman]

Fantastic shot Click!

[Bobbie]

“Where do the children play?” (Cat Stevens)

[ElinL]

A cool warm shot !

 

[Bobbie]

Interesting Elin, thanks. That’s important feedback because I was trying for a slightly creepier, mysterious feel – more like “what happened to all the kids?”. I’ll have to keep working on that.

[Tersha]

Very interesting shot Bobbie, and now I have the song in my head, I haven’t heard it for a long time! 🙂

[Bobbie]

Thanks Diane (and sorry about that).

[John Teate]

I like the vacant feel and the color does set that.  Swinging image.

[Bobbie]

Thanks John 🙂

[Patrick]

Nice capture Bobbie , it sure makes you think about the question.

[Bobbie]

Thanks Pat, that’s in the direction of what I was trying for.

[davidc]

This makes me feel like the end of the day when everyone has left the playground as the sun goes down. Lovely photo.

[Bobbie]

Thanks David. I love seeing the different interpretations and feelings we all get from the same images. That’s what makes this fun.

[LeanneC]

In contrast to Bobbie’s playground shot:

 

And in contrast to THAT shot:

 

[Andre P.]

As usual (so to say) wonderful flower.

But the second picture is outstanding, too. Creates the mood by itself.

[LeanneC]

Thanks Andre. Image 2 was an ICM shot on a boat ride in the evening.

[Andre P.]

What does ICM mean? (English is not my native/first language)

[John Thompson]

I think Leanne is referring to In Camera Motion in her post.

[LeanneC]

Intentional Camera Movement (as opposed to the unintentional kind that occurs before that first cup of coffee in the morning! ;))

A longer shutter speed and sweep of the camera horizontally in this case, Andre.

[Preston]

Haha!  I like the first cup of coffee quote Leanne; truer words have never been spoken.

[ElinL]

Both great shots Leanne. The cold background is great contrast to the flower.

[Bobbie]

Same colors, different feelings – which is good since that’s the challenge this week 🙂 (and very different skill levels giving me something to continue to strive for …)

[LeanneC]

I beg to differ Bobbie. Your image and the message it conveys (along with the lyrics) are quite strong. I like it a lot.

[Bobbie]

Thanks Leanne 🙂

[John Teate]

I really like them both. Colors with detail and motion.  Well done.

[Patrick]

Both really nice pieces of work , my fav is the landscape ICM i really like the soft feeling it has , Lovely work.

[davidc]

Sunshine flower and a misty morn, lovely photos Leanne.

[Pat Garrett]

Not only contrasting colors in the images but contrasting textures.

[Dave Watkins]

Love that 2nd shot. Enjoyed just sitting back and taking it all in on Flickr. Beautiful.

[Erik Fransman]

Both beautiful Leanne!

[Tersha]

Both really beautiful Leanne!

[Andre P.]

In contrast to Leanne’s wonderful flower.

[LeanneC]

🙂

Brrrr! Winter is coming.

[John Teate]

Yep that’s the backyard 🙂  Definitely sets a winter feel.

[Patrick]

Damp cold and crisp , i love walking in the woods when its like this , nice job mate.

[davidc]

This as a cinematic feel. Cool shot 🙂

[ElinL]

Nasty storm brewing

 

[John Thompson]

I really like this Dr. Elin.

[LeanneC]

Definitely conveys a forlorn, moodiness, Elin. Great job.

[John Teate]

I agree with Leanne.  Such a vacant area and it sets that feeling.  Wonderful.

[Patrick]

A Beautiful scene , really love the blue tones the whole landscape is very pleasing on the eye , i could sit here for hours day dreaming ;).

[Robert Apple]

Lovely Elin, Very Nice.

[davidc]

Definitely a storm brewing. Super landscape Elin

[Robert Apple]

[Dave Watkins]

A beautiful yet foreboding landscape. Fantastic job creating such a somber atmosphere.

[Bobbie]

I think this is a powerful scene Elin. It’s the kind that could make people think that the home of the gods is just over the horizon.

[Erik Fransman]

You live in some rural surroundings Elin. Great shot!

[Bryan Churchill]

Great job Elin…

[Bruce Gordon]

Very nice John! I like this one, of the two, best.

[Bruce Gordon]

Great use of color Bobbie!

[Bruce Gordon]

Awesome work, Leanne, as always!

[davidc]

Almost Africa in the Lakes but they are cows not elephants.

[ElinL]

A lovely, warm shot David.

[davidc]

Thanks Elin.

[John Teate]

Warm grazing, nice photo.

[davidc]

Thanks John.

[Patrick]

Another lovely photo David , your title really sells this image to me .. Love the warmth.

[davidc]

Thanks P71.

[Dave Watkins]

Beautiful silhouette. One would think a photo of cows grazing would not be very interesting. This image proves otherwise.

[davidc]

Thanks Dave.

[Bobbie]

Very peaceful David. I like the contrasting look of the trees on either side and the feeling I get that they’re protecting the animals.

[davidc]

Thanks Bobbie.

[Bruce Gordon]

Abandoned, but not forgotten

[ElinL]

There is a story in this image, one would like to hear about. Well done !

[John Teate]

Gives the abandoned mood, nicely done.

[Patrick]

Very nice indeed , the two flowers bring everything together so well .. smashing job Bruce.

[davidc]

Gives me a feeling of hope. Very nice Bruce.

[Pat Garrett]

Proof a little color can brighten anything.

[Bruce Gordon]

Very true Pat!

[Bobbie]

Simple and very effective Bruce!

[Patrick]

Night Shift

[ElinL]

Another piece of amazing art from your studio Mr P71. Wow ! Experimenting with lightpainting the local ducks and late-night drunks, were you ? Would love to have it hanging on my wall.

[Patrick]

Hi Elin , This was the maintenance night crew for the rail lines , i stopped and asked one of their colleagues could i get a shot after giving me a funny look he said yeah 😉 the ICM seem to fit with the lighting and story hence *Night Shift.

Thank you for such lovely comments , your very kind 😉

Just a fun shot below

The Night was Dark ..

[ElinL]

The stuff nighmares are made from…..very convincing.

[Pat Garrett]

This is so weird…I love it. “Let me out! Let me out”!

[Patrick]

hahaha

[Dave Watkins]

I agree with Pat. A wonderfully weird image. Nice work.

[Patrick]

Thanks very much Dave.

[John Teate]

It does provide that feeling that maybe this area is off limits, as in another dimension.  Really enjoying your adventures with the light.

As for the second image…no, just no I will not open the door. 🙂

[Patrick]

Thanks very much John i’m having lots of fun experimenting , some things work and some don’t but it’s always a lot of fun trying ;).

[Andre P.]

Managed! What strange feelings evoke these photos!

[davidc]

Like this a lot, Don’t know why but it feels good.

[Patrick]

Hi guys thanks for your kind words 😉

[Bobbie]

Love your uniqueness Pat.

[Tersha]

Warm glow …

cool greens …

[John Teate]

Love them both.  I keep trying to decide which is better but I’m going to stick to being on the fence.  Both very well shot.

[Patrick]

Nice work Tersha , photo 2 has a lovely tropical vibe for me , i can just imagine a sandy beach and sun lounger just out of shot 😉 very nicely done.

[ElinL]

Both great images, the top one is very special. Must be seen on Flickr.

[davidc]

Very Very nice Tersha. 🙂

[Bobbie]

You gave us two very different feels in two gorgeous images Diane. No way am I picking one over the other. They’re existing in peace and harmony with each other.

[John Teate]

Venus before sunrise

[Patrick]

This is a super image mate , lovely warm glow , the dark silhouette from the tree really makes the blues and orange pop , nice share john.

[Robert Apple]

Nice John.

[ElinL]

Lovely image John !

[davidc]

Simply great.

Works very well John. Good shot.

[Patrick]

Prohibited ..

[ElinL]

More nightmare stuff, – well done !

[Patrick]

Thank you 😉

[davidc]

Yep! Scary stuff.

[Patrick]

I Want to go light it up at night 😉

Thanks mate ;).

[Dave Watkins]

This image wonderfully creepy. Can almost hear the screams coming from inside.

[Patrick]

I only took photographs from a small section inside and even when i knew it was midday and daylight i got the WHAT IF’S flying round my head .. it was time to go lol.

Thanks for your comments Dave.

[Bobbie]

Pat, I think you should write a guide for LS on playing with the “what if’s”.

[Pat Garrett]

No special story here. I saw these souvenir water bottles lined up in the morning light and was drawn to the translucent colors and the grading – “bookend” red tone with pale aqua in the middle. Late to the party… very late…

[davidc]

Well spotted Pat. Lovely colors.

[Patrick]

really like this Pat , nice flow 😉

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you Pat and David

[Bobbie]

That’s one of your specialties Pat, seeing and capturing uniqueness in the mundane.

[Pat Garrett]

Thanks for your comment, Bobbie.

[Dave Watkins]

Fading Away.

[davidc]

Love the fresh feel of this one Dave. The mountains fading away , lovely.

[Dave Watkins]

Thanks david. Was trying to give this one a dreamlike quality with the soft, unnatural colors.

[Robert Apple]

Cool Blue Beads

[davidc]

Alien eggs? They look like they are frozen. Good one Robert.

[Patrick]

Class work.

[Pat Garrett]

It can be whatever the imagination dreams. Makes me think

[Robert Apple]

Thanks David, Patrick, and Pat

[Dave Watkins]

Very cool. Fantastic color of blue you’ve created here.

[Robert Apple]

Campfire Embers

[Pat Garrett]

Gold threads …embers make interesting patterns

[Robert Apple]

Thanks Pat

[Bobbie]

Beautiful. How did you make this Robert?

[Robert Apple]

Early Summer Sunrise

[Pat Garrett]

Very similar to Davidc’s “Almost Africa” above. One lone tree commanding the hillside.

[Robert Apple]

Late Fall Sunset

[Bruce Gordon]

That’s a really cool shot Click, no pun intended! 🙂

[Bruce Gordon]

That’s really neat Robert!

[Bruce Gordon]

That’s really creepy P71! Well done!

[David Chesterfield]

A fun shoot with the local gang

[Holly K]

The skeleton says, “Wait, did I make a wrong turn?”

[Bruce Gordon]

Thanks Elin!

[Bruce Gordon]

Thanks John!

[Bruce Gordon]

Thanks P71!

[Bruce Gordon]

Both are smashing Images Tersha!

[Bruce Gordon]

That’s a really cool image!

[Bruce Gordon]

Very nice P71! This is the part where I pull the covers over my head and pretend I never saw it….

[Dave Watkins]

A Moment in the Sun.

 

[Pat Garrett]

Color emerging from darkness. Very appealing.

[Dave Watkins]

Thanks Pat. I thought it had a nice fairy tale forest look to it.

[Pat Garrett]

Yes it does – Little Red Riding Hood” or “Hansel and Gretel”

[Tersha]

Very nice Dave, lovely patch of light in the forest!

[Dave Watkins]

Thanks Diane. 🙂

[Andre P.]

I try another one, changing a bit the hue of the sky.

[Charmaine Joubert]

Golden Motion

[John Thompson]

One of my favorite for colors;

[Preston]

Nice share John!  For me, its the textures in this.  Loving that shaggy bark

[ElinL]

Beautiful palette John

[ElinL]

Yesterday´s morning coffee view

[Patrick]

Gorgeous view it sure is a special landscape , the coffee will be a little cherry on top 😉

Nice work and share Elin.

[Pat Garrett]

Looks so desolate.

[LeanneC]

Another super image, Elin.

[Tersha]

That’s a very special view to drink coffee with, lovely image!

[Holly K]

[Pat Garrett]

It’s drab and dreary outside – I need some color

[LeanneC]

Wow! Great burst of colours, Pat.

[Pat Garrett]

Thanks, Leanne

[Preston]

Red Means Stop.

The ice was the real hazard here

[Patrick]

Love this mate , icy cold with a dab of danger red 😉 the icicles draw my eye to the warning sign.

[Preston]

Thanks P71.  Icy cold with dab of danger red…that’s a vivid description.  A title change for this may be in the near future!

 

[LeanneC]

Good one, Preston!

[Preston]

Thanks Leanne!

[Andre P.]

Thanks Leanne. I even found examples of ICM on YouTube. Interesting technique (so far I mostly did UCM – “UNintended camera motion”;-)

[LeanneC]

We all do, Andre! Some of those accidental ones turn out okay too! I wrote a guide on ICM for Photzy. You can find it here: https://photzy.com/mastering-intentional-camera-movement-free-quick-guide/

It is lots of fun and you can get some pretty amazing results.

Happy shooting!

[Tersha]

Fiery explosion …

[Pat Garrett]

It really looks hot, hot , hot!

[Tersha]

Thanks Pat!

[Pat Garrett]

Color in Chrome

[Bruce Gordon]

Very nice work John!

[Bruce Gordon]

I really like the colors on this Charmaine! Well done.

[DaveGillespie]

I am jumping in a bit late, but thought I would add to the discussion.

[Tersha]

Lovely moody blues Dave!

[Frank]

A peaceful evening (or morning!), Dave.  Like those blues.

[Frank]

Evening light with thin clouds moving through.

[ElinL]

Beautiful image Frank

[Patrick]

Very nice Tersha.

[Tersha]

Thanks Patrick!

[Andre P.]

Leanne, thanks for the link. Very interesting! (I’ve saved dozens of Photzy’s Guides, but not this one 🙁 )

[Patrick]

Thanks very much Leanne , nice share ;).

[Tom M]

Lazy Day…
