Loved this, I can appreciate every snapshot here:
@michealj - really like this, the various lighting, the different conversations, the reflection in the mirror, the positioning of the tables, chairs, so many lines, so many elements in the one image and all done quickly.
@kyteflyer - yeah! That’s what it’s all about. I can see that was a spur of the moment opportunity which you took. Wouldn’t have got that any other way.
@donlaw - you fancied the shot, you took it, it works! You’ve inspired me to do the same rather than just walk past.
@Christop82 Snapshot of the end to a nice day, I can appreciate how memorable that was for you. I like the way you remember the gear used, if only because I’m like that too.
@theoldsmithy - it’s a snapshot alright (which is good). You had to think quick baring in mind you had picture spoilers quickly coming your way. Didn’t degrade the image. I love that tease of red on the lighthouse which dominates to the extent I can easily look at that picture for a long period of time.
@Jim McClain - If you don’t do “snapshots” then you should. Plenty in that image in my humble opinion.
@drd1135 - Congrats on the granddaughter - her personality reeks!
@ionian - innocent beauty
@MiguelATF -
@Richard ’s comment that “I like the reindeer guard of honour for their fallen leader. Very poignant” cannot be bettered by me.
@Tim Williams - Good one!
@chickenherby - That snapshot shows that the driver rather likes what he’s doing!
@Lightmancer - No explanation necessary I think, it’s all there in the image (who wouldn’t like that?)
@mnhoj - For me, it’s about what’s grabbed his/her attention and what he/she is thinking. Obviously something on his/her mind which it’s left open for us to speculate on. Good one.
@Petach - Pretty sure you caught her vaguely smiling - she never smiles! Worth a win by itself that one.
@Covey22 - The first paragraph of your summary says it all for me. That is a very difficult image to attain and yet the way you’ve done it makes it look so easy, as if we’re all capable of doing that. And what a man! Well done.
@Matero - Fantastic memory.
@john m flores - A very popular image when you initially posted it here and understandably so. Requires no explanation at all and like pretty much all the images here is a worthy winner.
Oh yeah, the winner - er, take a bow
@theoldsmithy. May well have been a snapshot, but I still can’t stop looking at your image xx days after you posted it. More so, I dare say, than if one were to take half an hour setting up. But what is it that makes me choose it over the others? Well, I think it begins with the shaft of red on the lighthouse, which draws me to the rust, then other parts of the image. Simple things please simple people (me). Well done Martin, over to you for the next challenge and thank you all so much for entering!
