December Photo Comp - Drawing your eye....** VOTE OFF **

[haggis]

Hey all. Thanks for the votes for November. :)


For this months theme.
I like photo's that try and force you to see something in particular, or take your eye in a certain direction, for example.

I've chosen man-made views, but lets see what others can interpret it as.

Reposted as the original lacked punch. Played about with it in PE. Improved the sky. Boosted the pyramid levels to make it a bit more punchy. Removed the cow's rearend. Removed green plastic bales. Thanks to Digital Photo mag and their PE tutorials. Still learning.

This is the bridge on the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

We also visited the Hellfire Pass memorial centre which is one of the most moving places I have ever been, reading the stories of how badly they treated the prisoners and their terrible conditions had me in tears.

Despite lugging thousands of pounds worth of camera equipment to the memorial centre which is out of town, when I visited the actual bridge I walked to it from the hotel and so this picture is taken on my phone and converted to B&W in Photoshop.

I liked the mosaics on the columns as well as the eye drawing perspective.

Last entry midnight tomorrow Christmas day, then the Vote off starts first thing Boxing day :)

[chris8886]

Bluepete for me this month, I love just the hint of burnt orange on the clouds and horizon.

[Bluepete]

'Nanaman!


Pete ;)

[Kenzie]

Bananaman

[Sir Trev]

Some lovely roads and rails doing exactly what the subject set out to do but for thought, execution and ingenuity I have to go for Richie this month.

Bananaman for me too. The yellow centre lines do exactly as the thread title suggests. But I'd give Ritchie the technical award.

[Red ones]

Nanaman for me. Seems to fulfil the requirement and is totalling in line with the forum and context.

Though loving the LPH pic.

[garynortheast]

Bananaman

[Richie]

BTW can some one volunteer to take over the Photo Comp, as I'm not doing next year I would like to think Brett might like to take it on :)

[Ch00]

Kenzie for me.

I will stick my name forward to carry it on if theres no other offers Richie.

[mister c]

Nanna man for me too, closely followed by LPH

[Geodude]

Wild Bill 'nannaman here too :)

[pookie]

Mister C as there were many lines drawing the eye ... all great interpretations of this months theme.

[Richie]

nanananananananananananananananaman 4 me :)

[BanannaMan]

Kensie closely followed by LPH.

[Matt-EUC]

nanananananananananananananananaman 4 me :)


Yeah, what he said.

[Brettus]

Richie gets my vote this month because he'd created the image I'd had in my head but with no idea how to go about it without actually drawing and I can't draw to save my life.

Banannaman coming in 2nd as that is a cracking shot, love the angle and the lines work so well. If the lines would have been in the UK and white I don't think it would have worked nearly as well.

And as it's Christmas we get 4 people on the podium, 3rd place shared by LPH and Sir_Trev, LPH's has gorgeous lines and stark contrast but I like the colour in Sir_Trev's

Richie, you've seen my organisational skills ;). I'm not sure I'm up to the job but game for giving it a try if no-one else wants to? The competition seems too popular to not keep going.

The only thing is........

You'd be leaving some mighty big shoes there buddy. :smt038

[haggis]

Torn between Richie's cleverness & interpretation and LPH using b&w to great effect.

Hmm, Richie gets the nod.

[Richie]

Last vote tonight at midnight - But I guess you'll be all doing something else,
Rough guess, Bananaman has it this month.... :)

Happy New Year to you All.

[admin]

Well done bananaman.

[Richie]

Yes... Bananman Got it.... :)
Please post up your theme for 2015 January :)

:) con bob u lations.... and Congratulations :)

I'll hang my photo comp boot up, there are size 10 if anyone want them :)

[BanannaMan]

Thanks everyone for the votes!

That was a one handed shot taken while riding the SV!
(Please don't try that at home)

I just wish I knew where that camera was now. :rolleyes:
It was easy to operate with one hand and took decent pics whilest riding.

I'll get January's thread up tomorrow.
Thanks again!
