Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No. 31 - Movement

Well, apologies again!
Got home yesterday, settled down to go through all the fantastic photos, and my Broadband was down! ......damn you Virgin Broadband! Hope fully it will be back today, so I am breifly going to announce the winners:

The coveted first place, and the person who will be running the Salon over Christmas will be:

John Periment!
His leaves is truly inspirational, I just love the sense of swirling movement captured by the extended shutter time

In Second:
Jojo, with the glass, a super idea, and one I may try out myself!

In third:
Ian with his 'Y' fronted cyclist, makes me laugh every time I see that brave fellow!

Again I would like to aqpologise for the delay in announcing the winners here.

John, I hand the batton to you, and look forward to what you dream up as the subject matter for the Christmas period....I can only gues!


I would also like to thank everyone that embraced the challenge, and that entered

Well done everyone! The Y-fronted cyclist made me laugh too!

And I sympathise about the Broadband - we've had loads of problems with ours lately too.

Excellent choices, Ben. There were some real belters this time and I didn't envy you having to make the decisions.

Congratulations to John for his winning image.

Well done jo-jo and Ian too.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No. 31 - Movement

Certainly a winning image John - very well deserved. I can't believe I made it as a runner up (thanks Ben) there were so many great submissions. Yes, Ian's cyclist is a classic, although I bet he's not so keen on riding around with his kit off in this weather Many thanks to Ben for a popular salon and looking forward to John's.

Wow,

It's half past midnight, I've just logged on for a quick browse of the forum and I find I've won the Salon!

I honestly didn't expect that, considering that there were so many excellent entries and this was my first attempt.

Thank you Ben, for setting such a popular subject and for choosing my entry and thanks to everyone for your kind comments and making me feel so welcome on this forum.

I must admit I hadn't considered that I might be in the position of choosing the next theme and haven't given it any thought. Please allow me a day to regain my composure and come up with something suitable!

Thanks again,

John

No problem at all John, the subject I chose was to get people to think about movement, to extend the shutter time, and to do something a little bit extra as it were. I felt there were some excellent shots submitted, but your imaginative shot of swirling leaves, to me anyway, was a clear winner I loved it from the off.

I look forward to seeing the next subject, and hope it will be something I can get my teeth into over |Christmas (even if I am working! bah!)
