Walking down by the canal last Sunday, I saw these two gardeners.

Hi again everyone! ^_^ Here is my addition!

She never even noticed...



(I found her later online via a livejournal community by posting the photo and she was cool with it. ^_^ )

Despite the fact that this chap is clearly an excruciating poseur I kind of like this one.

Altogether now - "Bloody stoodents, get a job/haircut etc..."

Great stuff so far, everyone - thanks!

Still a little time for any last minute entries.....

BTW - just to manage expectations, I'm off out tonight to celebrate my wedding anniversary (21 years!) so won't be able to post a winner until tommorrow (Sat 9th) a.m. GMT.

Good luck to all

Regards,

Neil

Here's mine - A band called The Fore were playing live in the town centre last week, the sun was shining and the crowds were out. It was a lovely day. Good job I keep my Panasonic Lumix in my bag.

Re: DP Salon Competition number 63 - CANDID - Results

RESULT!

Thanks to all who entered, I've really enjoyed judging this one - some great photos!

So - in time honoured reverse order,

In joint third place, (cop-out, I know!) Its Ekkl and Rogleal's entries. I love both these photographs which are so different in style and composition but both tell a compelling story - the old man counting his pennies so evocative of frugality and concentration. The young couple so clearly joined in love of each other and love of the countryside, even though as they read their books they are neither directly communicating with each other or with the countryside - they are just there, together. Lovely!

Runner-up is Jojo with her fantastic photograph of the groom as his bride enters. The expression of love, trepidation and anticipation is priceless.

My winner, though, is Veggiesosage's picture of the street-guitarist. A solitary young man plays on the street with no-one around (is he that bad??!)For me, an image that draws you in with questions of who is he? what is he doing? (practicing, being a poseur, playing for his own pleasure, busking?). All in all I think this is a great candid street photograph.



So - Congratulations to Veggisosage, and over to you for the next one.

Regards,

Neil.

Cool! Thanks Cogito and thanks for the good wishes all.

I'm pleased about this cos I've just got back after having had my camera and laptop being robbed in a burglary. Took a while for the insurance and that to get sorted and replacements bought but we're there now.

I'll get me thinking cap on for the next one...
