Spirit, love the first portrait, the lines on his face could be a map of his life, great textures (in your shot, not just his face)

he looks like a great character.

and a couple of good "BD's" too.

All top class stuff as usual.  This one was taken on a recent trip to East and West Croydon.

Lots of really excellent work here.

This was taken in March this year in Whitby

Nice shot dave i like the reflection

one from me

Andy, prefer this mono version to the colour one, but then I would, wouldn't I ? 

One from a corner of a church, Hymns Acient and Modern

Took this the other night on a nice walk out (before the weather went rubbish again)

It's called "Imprisonment"

Great shot filter99

Here's mine

Some great stuff posted,

Take care

Linda

nice bold padlock.

ABERS, the slight sepia toning is beautifully subtle, just right.

afidler, prefer this to the colour. but the detailed bit thats in focus just doesn'y stand out quite enough from its surroundings for me.

postcard from Maghera beach today.

"sand piper",,,,though I'm sure its not.

My first attempt a a B&W Portrait - comments please

FIRST TIME BACK ALONE.

Very poignant Alan. Some other great shots also - I particularly like the textures and lighting in Adrian's leaves.

Garry, I think you've caught a great expression and I like the composition with the sheet music in the background. However the main light falls on the side of the girl's face and this distracts attention from her expression. A slight change of position/use of reflector to get light onto the face would have improved the picture.
