Single In Single in October (SiO) 2021 - favourites

[MoonMind]

As Karen and others have suggested, here's a thread for your personal favourite shot - or shots - from the Single in October 2021 challenge.

This isn't a mandatory part of the "Single in" procedings (yet), but I think most of us would appreciate your participation.

As suggested, up to three images would be appropriate; I'll kick this off with my personal three ... sorry for being self-indulgent for a bit.

My clear favourite is the shot of the little negclected stone nymph - a shot I have tried several times over the years but never got right; she has changed appearance quite a bit over time, too - a worthy symbol as well as exactly the shot I wanted.

Second is an image of serene simplicity that also nicely illustrates my gear choice: the "tiny leaf" portrait only the macro capabilities of the Z MC 105mm f/2.8 S made possible.

The last image shows what I myself like best about my own style of shooting: Seeing images where there are "none" - paired with a little pareidolia here ...

I know I got more spectacular shots - but these I particularily like ...

OK, I'll join in. My theme: the good, the bad and the ugly of graffiti

I like this one in particular. A very nice and hilarious touch from the artist. Under a bridge. You wouldn't notice it normally

Love so many of what has been posted - that nymph sculpture is a great example of what I call a "usual suspect". I have several I go back to, regularly, hoping for that ultimate image.

The plane under the bridge was such a delight too.

No theme as such but these would be my top three:

Thanks!

For me, that would be this one. The featured lamp is the model “Signaal”, an in house design by Raak, which was left behind by the previous owners of our house and the inspiration for my series. Next to that, I love the shadowplay in this image.

I think I actually started to get a bit bored with using my phone about half way through the month. Well, frustrated rather than bored, I suppose. Anyway my three favourites are all from the first half of the month.
First, some grasses which caught the light very pleasingly:

Then a lovely old set of doors, which hide a yard to a workshop:

And lastly the atmospheric interior of one of the many bookshops in Hay-on-Wye:

I felt the challenge made me think about my shot preparation more which I really needed to do especially on my BIF photo's. That is one area I want to improve in. Lot's of fun when you get one that just pops on the screen.

I really liked your results with the long lens this month, that first shot is particularly beautiful; something about the combination of camera and lens really has a subtle gentleness of rendering that reminds me of legacy lenses and film instead of digital sensors.

I really enjoyed your entries, I think compositionally they were even cooler than the cool filters you used

Hard to narrow down to three. I had a few others I loved from the challenge.

Hard to be my own editor. so won‘t say these are the best. But, looking at all 31 together, these 3 stood out.

Fun highlight-reel thread. It's interesting looking back over the month's posts. For my photos, there are a few days for which I now like my outtake(s) better than the image I selected that day. But here are my three faves of my own uploads, overall.

Getting down to three was really hard. This first one is the only one of the three that was easy. I've done more than a few reflection shots over the years, but the combination of rocks, trees, and colors in this one is just different.

Normally one of my three favorites would include a classic New England stone wall. But I didn't manage to get any I really liked this time. But in the spirit of something old (cars, buildings, textiles, etc.) I think I like the old fence the most.

Food, my cat, misc things? I have so many pictures of her, but I'm not sure I have one quite like this one so.

My favorite is this flower shot. I just find it really pleasing.

My second favorite was another morning in the lab with interesting lighting.

These are my three favourites. Selecting was a bit challenging but I decided that my favourites would be B&W because I like L.Monochrome.D.
