Reminds me of one of those little sliding block game we used to get in lucky bags. you had to slide the tiles about to get the picture, but there was only one space to move a tiles into. super shot.

Just a overexposed frame mate , a bhoy in the river as it is an abstract theme this week

[davidc]

Great stuff Patrick. Now I can’t throw over exposed photos away, have to look at them through different eyes. More work!!!!!

Seriously, real good work!

🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Or mini Viking spike ball clubs….

[Tersha]

[davidc]

Two super images. What is the first one?

[Tersha]

Thanks David. The first one was turned on a lathe by my partner. Its not anything particular, but its tricky to do, and looks good. 🙂

This is so beautiful!!

[Tersha]

Thanks David.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That is a fantastic entry.

[Pat Garrett]

Wonderful image, DIane. Unique POV for the sunflower. It made me chuckle – looks like a polishing/buffing head my husband would use to polish cars!

[Tersha]

Thanks Pat, I see what you mean it does look like that! 🙂

[Robert Apple]

That’s a pretty cool shot Diane, seems like there was a recent throwdown you could have posted it in as well.

[Tersha]

Thanks Robert, I’ll go there now! 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

Birds on a High Wire

[davidc]

Could be sea birds. 😀 super image.

[Pat Garrett]

Thanjs @davidc. Nope they were common pigeons on a wire high above the water and this was their reflection

[Tersha]

Clouds in the pond

[davidc]

Do you think the fish are avoiding the clouds? Very nice tone in this one!

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Nicely spotted.

[Patrick]

By The Light Of The Silvery Moon

[Tersha]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Oh nice – this is one of those places I would be going back to over and over and over. I reckon they’re about 100 shots inside that single one that I would want to take.

[Pat Garrett]

Lights behind a patterned “privacy” door

[Robert Apple]

Interesting Pat, looks like a Dandelion in the seeding stage. Cool effect.

[Pat Garrett]

@robertapple. Yes it does look like dandy seeds. When I first saw it all I could think of was President George H. Bush and his “Thousand Points of Light”.  Funny how some things just stick with you.

[davidc]

Wow!!! Very cool shot indeed, one could say sparkling!

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Nice one, Pat – I also thought it was a dandelion phgoto

[LightandShadow]

Yes. The image itself and your original vision stand independent of the various metaphors you and others associate with it. Very well done!

[LightandShadow]

Perhaps too obvious. Something I see and do on a fairly regular basis and I’m not the only one either.
