ReplyDeleteGood choice to do mono. Good atmosphere and great detail although the highlights burned out in part. I really like this.
Bill S
We are often advised to avoid even numbers of people (things) in our images for best effect. Here we have a grouping of three with an odd one on the end and it works here. Overall and on my screen, the image seems a little soft and there are extraneous objects which need attention particularly on the left edge of the frame.
Dave S
I like the sense of isolation here but feel that this is too wide a view. The breakwater on the left adds nothing and so I think that a closer approach with just the watch tower and other objects would possibly work a bit better. I do like the tonality here which adds to the sense of isolation and ’watching’ over the people on the beach.
David F
What is a Dipper? Lots of contrast here to make things difficult and I think the whole of the column on the left is needed for this view. The lady is looking directly at the camera so I assume posed but I wonder if getting closer to her would have been more effective. Do we need the column and handrail to tell the same story? For me, I think not. The white dots in the window on the left are attention grabbing once noticed.
David K
The Red Arrows are always an attraction but difficult to photograph effectively. This is a wider approach than often seen and I like it although I feel that some judicious cropping would help. The Arrows are closer to the right edge than the left which creates a slightly unbalanced feel to the image but a crop from the left could be made to rectify this. Good attempt at a different approach to the subject.
Duncan K
Flower studies are never easy. You have the flower head really nicely exposed to give detail throughout. The angled position of the stem is good but I wonder if there is a wee bit too much stem (25% of the picture area) and whether reducing this to give a larger flower head and lightening the stem would be better? Your choice of course.
Elaine J
A very well exposed image – I don’t mind the burned out sky though, if deemed necessary, this could have another sky inserted. Lovely lighting on the web slabs and just a touch of colour in the figure and houses behind him.
Jim C
Well selected NH shot with the bonus of a really good reflection. I would be tempted to crop both sides a little for a tall narrow approach which would concentrate attention even more on the bird. A very nice highlight is caught in the eye.
Keith M
An English scene with colour and tradition well shown. Shame about the lady’s partial head in the b/g but she is part of the dance group from her clothing and the shop sign (The Sheepshed) seems very appropriate.
Keith W
The metallic finish of the cars (?Auto Unions) is really well caught here. There is amusement in the photographers. A subject to explore photographically from several angles but this shows the setting very well and is technically excellent.
Malcolm R
ReplyDeleteI can see the attraction of the mirrors with their distortions. I would rather not have the lady looking directly at you. I would suggest cropping off the segment of mirror on the left and, obviously, the burned out shirt is an issue. I hope you explored this subject with more exposures as I can see other effective images within this broader approach.
Phil C
Not sure what to make of this and how appropriate the wording is. The words are so dominant and the reflection rather dark to be really effective. There doesn’t seem to be a great connection between the vehicle (I assume it is a vehicle) and the people reflected in the windows.
Robert H
The texture of the stone cross is well shown and its situation within the landscape well demonstrated here. The wording on the cross can just be made out. Rather flat lighting but I don’t feel that this is detrimental and you have created atmosphere by the choice of exposure and framing.
Rob S
Car design was distinctly odd in the past! The car as main subject is well exposed but I feel should have all of it included. The chair is an interesting element but the objects between it and the car are less desirable. There are highlight issues and although the exposure on the car seems correct the background is rather light and the light coloured climber in the b/g tends to draw attention to it and away from the car and chair.
Tony M
A repetition of pattern in the window covers but, for me, the lighting is rather flat and I would certainly prefer some cropping to lose the distracting brick at the bottom and the change of rendering to the right. Although the timber frame of the building sets the context I am also unsure whether this is a distraction or not. It is a photographer’s subject which we all tackle.
Bernd H - Lots of atmosphere and the light is well controlled. It could do with a figure behind the bar on the right, but I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteBill S - An elite unit! Let’s hope they perk up before the fight. Nice shot, well spotted away from the action.
Dave S - I like the wide view, the small shack that provides shelter and offers hope of rescue to anyone in trouble. The tones are nice as well.
David F - Another costume piece. Nice framing, the eye is led in well and the light adds to the scene nicely. All somewhat mysterious, what’s behind the door?
David K - A typical seaside airshow, grey skies and the red arrows in formation. Again, I like the wider aspect as a tight shot could be taken anywhere.
Duncan K - It’s certainly well lit. A good detailed record shot.
Elaine J - I like the atmosphere and the wet ground adds to that. The splash of colour with the red tie is a stroke of luck, and a good thing.
Howard F - Looks like an impressive showroom, better than my local outfit anyway. The framing adds to the notion of height and indeed the mystery of it all.
Jim C - Nice reflection shot.
Keith M - Ah British customs , fantastic. A nice tight group, the tankards adding that perfect touch of detail.
Keith W - Good wood again, wonderful place. This works well and in black and white has a period feel to it.
Malcolm R - Yet again, very well spotted sign that raises a smile.
Phil C –
Robert H - I like the simplicity of the framing and the textures of the grass and stone come out well, very complimentary.
Rob S - Like the car, not the chair…
Theodore D - Looks inviting. What’s the story behind this building?
Tony M - Some nice shapes within the frame, though could do with a little more light to add drama.
1. Bernd. A spectacular looking bar, the lone drinker appears to tell a sad tale but we can only guess. The arm sticking out of the wall and holding the lamp is very odd and no doubt a feature of the hostelry.
ReplyDelete2. Bill S. Members of The Sealed Knot ? They put on a big display here many years ago and every pub in the town ran dry. The cropping to isolate these characters against the wall is well thought out and framing is just right. I like the floppy hats, it’s just a shame that the third man in the line has his face hidden.
3. Dave S. Such a sense of isolation here that the figures are almost lost in the frame and although the significant elements of the picture are well placed my feeling is that they need to be more prominent. Not very busy are they?
4. David F. Presumably this is something to do with “taking the waters” in the spa? The lady in costume is a little far away to be seen clearly but it is a beautifully crisp image.
5. David K. Not the brightest of days for the Air Show. Interesting use of the beach as a car-park - do they still have donkeys there?
6. Duncan K. Good exercise in lighting, the texture of the petals beautifully shown (perhaps a touch dark in the trumpet?).
7. Elaine J. A dramatic entrance for this chap, I like the puddles. It appears to be wetter inside than it is outside which is curious.
8. Howard F. Creative framing/cropping produces a strong pattern picture, its a dramatic display but does it show the cars off to advantage?
9. Jim C. Very simple and uncluttered, two for the price of one can’t be bad.
10. Keith M. What a splendid body of men parked on a double yellow line.
11. Keith W. This works well in monochrome, I would happily dispense with the photographers for a better view of the cars.
12. Me.
13. Phil C. Something slightly sinister about this, a feeling that is helped by the title. No clue as to what is going on but I would just like to see the whole of the left hand window.
14. Robert H. Strong foreground and good recession, it feels just a little “pinched’ in the middle. Harry Bird (?) has a good spot.
15. Rob S. The old car seems totally out of place which adds to the attraction of the picture, I’m not at all sure that the chair does anything but it’s inclusion in the title makes it seem important.
16. Theodore D. A pleasant combination of colours here. I like the way the building (is it a house?) seems to rise from behind the vegetation.
17. Tony M. Muted colours make a satisfying picture but I do find the odd strip on the right distracting - it seems to belong to another building rather than having any connection with the green shutters.
1) Bernd H: Knocking-off time beer in a whisky bar in Edinburgh
ReplyDeleteMaybe one for the whisky connoisseur or The Temperance Society? I’m thinking, “All that alcohol … and challenged livers.” Pictorially it tells a sombre story and creates a sombre mood (anyone remember this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjBHUQEiTPw ) The image works but technically the impossible dynamic range lets it down.
2) Bill S: Between Battles
All hats and no faces and thus even though dressed for the part they lack character. Can’t help thinking that there would have been better photo opportunities at the event … this scene lacks interest … a closer view of just one of the characters with his gun might have conveyed more … especially with more emphasis on a long gun. As it is … rather too much to look at but there are ‘tasters’ there worthy of closer exploration.
3) Dave S: Watching over you
Not much ‘watching’ evident … I looked long and hard trying to find some pictorial interest but the image comes over as rather flat and lacks excitement. On another day maybe with a closer not so wide angle view and a more interesting sky there could be a more dynamic image.
4) David F: Dipper on the Pantiles:
I’d like to see a bit more of the dipper lady in action. As it is, the photo does not tell the whole story – but it’s a good exposure and well framed – and interestingly the classic M5 and modern WATE have been used to good effect … and the verticals are well controlled.
5) David K: Air Show Stars Arrive
The beach is not very exciting and the weather/clouds look rather dull ie not really conducive to obtaining a good record shot of the aerobatics. But it’s well exposed and very sharp. On a brighter day and with more interesting clouds a more dynamic photo would probably have been possible.
6) Duncan K
7) Elaine J: A Wet Afternoon
I’m wondering where the water has come from … Leaky roof? Plenty of atmosphere and texture; good verticals; I can imagine echoing footsteps when the man enters the building.
8) Howard F: Champs Elysee Showroom
The chosen view in this composition is rather awkward and does not convey/communicate enough of the striking architecture – especially because the levels appear too cropped and thus mis-shapen.
9) Jim C: Heron in the Lune.
Nicely exposed and a good record of the heron and its reflection – but too central and thus too symmetrical in the frame.
10) Keith M: Morris Dancers in Training
ReplyDeleteAmusing title and a good record and nicely exposed ‘whites’. But I’d like to see the chap in the centre with a happier facial expression and also see all the characters’ arms/elbows … they are too cropped. Did you take a few more or just the one?
11) Keith W: Silver Arrows at Goodwood
A fair record shot but it does not really capture any of the frontal details of these magnificent cars – and the side detail captured looks incomplete. A different angle with a wider lens (if possible) could have produced a more interesting view of the line-up.
12) Malcolm R: I like this place: the Shakespeare statue, Leicester Square, undergoing restoration.
Irrespective of the quote used in the title, the lady staring (at the photographer?) is more dominant (and distracting) than any other element in the photo. Maybe Phil C’s title would be more appropriate? A confusing image and not really sure what to make of it. The lady looks rather unhappy and at odds with the chosen title.
13) Phil C; Watching Us Watching You
Not sure about this image because the people in the reflection are not doing much watching – they appear to be going about their business and minding their own business. Unless I’m missing something the image does not live up to the title … and there is not a strong enough image in the reflections. I assume the windows are in a police van?
14) Robert H: Widdecombe-on the-Moor 2013
I was intrigued by the inscription so had a closer look to decipher same and then saw more of the textures of the weathered and lichened stone cross. The textures and inscription are deserving of enhancement and if emphasized by better/modified lighting or post processing would make a more powerful image. As it is, a good image and well framed … but the lighting has not shown the subject to best advantage. And I’m thinking, “What a good image for a book cover.”
15) Rob S: ’51 Ford and Plastic Chair
Forget the chair … take it out … it does not complement and adds nothing to, the wonderfully hostile looking car – it reminds me of the truck in the film ‘Duel’. Crop the houses out of the photo too and you’d be left with just the fearsome looking custom car.
16) Theodore D: The remains of summer
I was not sure what to say about this but after a long hard look: Somewhat dull light with overgrown foliage partially obscuring a rather uninteresting building … Probably not a contender as a calendar or choc box picture … Could not live with it on my wall. Maybe I’m missing something but I do not understand the use of ‘Remains’ in the title … it does not adequately describe the scene.
17) Tony M: Two windows in Germany
The title conveys a rather too broad and unspecific description; I’d prefer the mention of a more specific location. Regret to say the image does not appeal or excite because of the beamed wall above the windows; those beams, visibly hinted at, fight with the windows for the attention of the viewer. There is a picture there worth looking for but to my eyes it’s not in this particular view. I want to see more of the beams …maybe all of the front of the building.
1) Bernd H
ReplyDeleteThe choice of B & W is appropriate. Good contrast and lighting but a rather melancholy atmosphere dominates
2) Bill S
Good shot of a break in proceedings at a ‘Sealed Knot’ type event. They are resumably waiting for the next phase of the battle. Great hats!
3) Dave S
Really isolated scene emphasised by the tonal range but with not much happening
4) David F
Photograph with good contrast and lighting and well framed. The lady looks as though she is posing
5) Me
6) Duncan K
Nicely framed and sharp image, which is well lit
7) Elaine J
Nicely exposed photograph with very good lighting on the wet paving in the foreground
8) Howard F
Very interesting picture, which is much enhanced by the brilliant red borders and the clever framing
9) Jim C
Excellent reflection producing a fine nicely exposed image
10) Keith M
Good picture of a very English scene with three ‘classic’ looking Morris Dancer characters
11) Keith W
Great line up of sports cars, which is well-suited to B & W and well framed
12) Malcolm R
An interesting photograph, which is well exposed. The mirror image is clearly key, but I find it somewhat confusing and the lady in the foreground does not seem too happy
13) Phil C
A fun shot – well caught with the wording below the window enhancing the image
14) Robert H
A well framed atmospheric photograph which is all the stronger in B & W and is nicely exposed
15) Rob S
Super shot of the old Ford, which is well exposed - but not sure what role the chair plays
16) Theodore D
Nicely framed picture of the house and the colours blend well between the building and the surrounding greenery
17) Tony M
The green shutters make an interesting pattern in the photograph, but the timber work above and the ‘break’ in the wall to the right are rather a distraction
Keith Walker
ReplyDeleteBernd H
Lovely tones and detail through good exposure. The lone drinker is a unusual subject.
Bill S
Fun shot with excellent cropping. The hats hide a lot!
Dave S
There are several of these along Bournemouth beach through the summer and I have often thought there must be a picture to be had. Good effort that would benefit from better sky.
4) David F
Lovely sharp image with well placed figure. Difficult light well handled.
David K
Excellent timing and clever idea to include beach. Seems a small crowd, or perhaps a big beach.
Duncan K
I am not a still life person but would question weather the centre of the flower needs more light to enhance colour
Elaine J
Fantastic light on the stone floor, and contrast very well handled.
Howard F
An interesting perspective of a interesting building. Can’t tell from this angle how the building works but the car in full view provides scale.
Jim C
Lovely colours and sharpness. If only it had taken a step forward for you to get its head out of the reflections.
Keith M
Three graded waist lines - looks like the first characters training is complete.
Me
Malcolm R
Possibility of shot of reflections without Ms What-you doing?
13)Phil C
Well spotted whatever it is!
14)Robert H
Great textures and tones that I suspect looks well in a print.
15)Rob S
Good reflections on the cars bodywork but setting does it no favours. Probably best not to mention chair?
Theodore D
Don’t get the title I am afraid - but apologies if I am being thick.I think slightly to strong foreground and building looks to have a interesting shades in the roof.
Tony M
I think I would like to see more of what looks like a interesting building - perhaps portrait format
1. Bernd H
DeleteAtmospheric shot, well capture. I like the perspective tension between the bar top itself, quite straight across the frame, compared to the slanting lines of the bottles and the rest of the scene.
2. Bill S
An interesting collection of figures; I assumed cropped from a larger scene? Am not quite sure about the lighting or perhaps better said the definition of contrast within all the grays and blacks, especially with the legs against the dark under wall.
3. Dave S.
Beautiful calm shot; I enjoy all the light gradients thoughout with almost no black involved.
4. David F
Love this shot because it is so deceptive with all of the angles and directions that require one to really look closely. Wonderful.
5. David K.
A question of taste here; I don’t like all the cars and colors on the beach compared to the dull greys of the sea and sky…It sort of makes the visual discovery of the jets as one look upwards in the picutre, somewhat anticlimactic?
6. Duncan K
Another fantastic flower shot! I do suspect that for my taste anyway, just a tiny little bit more light from the front would have added a titch of brightness in the yellow part? But that is nit picking…
7. Elaine J
Hmmm…Of course dramatic lighting and contrast here and well exposed in a nearly impossible lighting situation, it is just not my taste, not sure what to say?
8. Howard F
A very unusual shot from an interesting angle. Cannot however quite follow the black to red areas – was it like that or has it undergone somewhat unusual resizing and framing?
9. Jim C
Marvelous capture of a special moment, the blue background is also lovely and mesmerizing. One of those National Geographic moments!
10 Keith M
Great capture of these jolly gents with the mood well conveyed for the viewers.
11. Keith W
I have a great weakness for these kinds of shots. They are like time machines. At first I thought it was an old print from the 1950’s. I don’t need color when B/W can be as fantastic as this. Lovely.
12. Malcolm R
I am not sure this is the best possible framing of the scene for good visual coherence? For me personally I can’t feel right with it…
13. Phil C
Don’t know what to think…The image itself is rather grainy and because the focus seems to be on the white truck it becomes a bit clogged visually? Also my eye seems to have nowhere to go, to rest upon a particular aspect.
14. Robert H
I find the far background, the hedge, the grass very invocative as well as the total effect applied. For me, I would like to see the cross ‘come out’ a bit more in the picture. With a delicate hand in Ps for the cross it would just give that little extra touch. Regardless, I like the effect achieved very much.
15. Rob S
Another time machine shot. What a wonderful car and what fantastic lines of the body. I love everything about this shot, especially the film quality of the black smoothness achieved on the car against the grainy street scene behind…
16. Me
Note: for some who didn’t follow the title, this strange light, the dying flowers and the deep green are typical things on the farmland here that make me think of the end of summer each year. …But I think I have been too pedantic is trying to capture it this way…(self critique!).
17. Tony M
I like ‘deconstructionist’ shots of buildings, reducing them to simple forms. Only remark is that the effect would be stronger if the upper part were cut, as I find it distracting somehow.
1) Bend H. The strong light and contrast lifts this shot above the ordinary. Love it.
ReplyDelete2) Bill S. One of the rare re enactment shots where people do not look too pristine and in which modern annoyances are not apparent. Well done.
3)
4) David F. Exposure and extremes of contrast have been handled well in this shot.
The posture of the woman creates a sense of unease and makes a shot that is thought provoking.
5) David K. A different take on the arrows, the relatively few spectators that are there don't appear to be taking much notice of the star performers though.
6) Dunkan K. For me the lighting on the main subject in this shot lets it down, the background is taking over and the flower itself comes across rather grey, dull and lifeless.
7) Elaine. A good balance has been achieved in this shot and salient detail retained. Well done Elaine.
8) Howard F. This image makes you look twice. Without the narrative it would be difficult to work out what it was of but notwithstanding this its a good shot of a geometric pattern. Circumstances and shooting conditions probably prevented the inclusion of the bottom right part of the structure which is a shame as it would have looked more balanced if it had been there
9) Jim C. A good symmetrical reflection shot. Like the way the bird is giving the viewer the eye.
10) Keith M. A good record shot of the Morris Men refuelling. Its a shame that the feet of the man on the left have been lost at the ankle.
11) Keith W. Nicely exposed and detail has been retained across the frame. But to me the image looks very flat lacking a true black anywhere in the image, though this does give it a nostalgic feel.
12) Malcolm R. Another witty image form Malcolm. The woman being camera aware in this shot actually adds to the shot in my mind. Would a crop on the right bring about a slightly better balance.
13) Phil C. An intriguing image. Makes you wonder what is going on here. Blacked out windows in a structure or a vehicle, given the apparent shopping centre location I would hazard a guess at the former. An image that provokes thought on todays society and the need for clandestine surveillance.
14) Robert H. The detail and atmosphere have been captured very well in this shot, I think a lot has been lost in the necessarily small size of the image for the site. I also like the subtle use of toning that has been applied during post processing..
15) Rob S. I like the 50's/60's image style that has been used here, compliments the main subject very well and gives an overall period feel to the shot, the only give-away that it indeed been taken in later years being the inclusion of the more modern chair. The only thing I would suggest would be to clone out the rouge satellite dish and the illusion would be complete albeit with the above mentioned give-away. In stark contrast to one of my normal pet hates, the smoothing of the car and the digital plastic look works well in the shot as well.
16) Theadore D. A pleasant shot of the old building. Detail has been retained well across the frame
17) Tony M. Some good detail in this shot. I would be tempted to crop the image to make a more symmetrical composition.
1. Bernd H. Hmmm, mine is a Talisker ;) Very atmospheric image with excellent tones.
ReplyDelete2. Bill S. An interesting line-up of characters that the letter-box crop makes the most of. A pity that the broad-brimmed hats are shadowing and hiding faces.
3. Dave S. I quite like the peaceful composition but it seems a little flat – perhaps some contrast-masking would give it more depth.
4. David F. A good feeling of depth plus the harsh shadows have been well dealt with. A well placed figure, too.
5. David K. A pity about the flat light but the aircraft formation is well caught, if somewhat distant, given the focal length used.
6. Duncan K. It all sounds terribly complex, lighting-wise but the end result is well worth it!
7. Elaine J. The light on the wet slabs has been very well captured. Similarly the well placed figure, captured in mid-stride giving a good sense of movement. A slight pity his face lacks detail.
8. Howard F. The arcs, colours and reflections are striking but the elongated triangular shape and the way the arcs are cut through on the left make it difficult to fully appreciate the setting.
9. Jim C. Good study of an alert creature. The colours and textures are pleasing to the eye.
10. Keith M. Me.
11. Keith W. Well captured, with plenty of detail and interest. The tonal treatment suits the main subject.
12. Malcolm R. There is a conflict subject-wise between (a) the mirrors, the reflected images of people at leisure plus poster message and (b) the disapproving glare from the female in the foreground. Creates a lot of tension!
13. Phil C. The image seems to be of two mirrors reflecting a retail setting with a bold police logo beneath. All a bit of a mystery!
14. Robert H. A strong composition with good use of DoF. Sympathetic tones but the shading of the right-hand edge seems a little too strong, mainly on the hedge.
15. Rob S. Very early 50’s indeed – except for the chair! An interesting juxtaposition of an example of US automotive design in an urban UK setting. Good tonality in the car.
16. Theodore D. The unusual roof material makes me think this is not a UK property, but I could well be wrong! The strong colours work well together.
17. Tony M. I am a sucker for taking shots of old windows, shutters and doors, so can appreciate why this was taken. The light looks to have been very flat – might some judicious tweaks of levels and contrast give it a little boost?
1) Bernd H - Knocking-off time beer in a whisky bar in Edinburgh
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful; composition - tick, B&W - tick, interest - tick, points of interest - tick. It's great to see what the X2 can do.
2) Bill S - Between Battles
Between the wars :-) I would have perhaps like to have seen something in this photo to show them 'out of place' as it doesn't hold my attention too long I'm afraid.
3) Dave S - Watching over you
What a lovely scene; big shed, little encampment. Well spotted and nicely captured.
4) David F - Dipper on the Pantiles
Love the B&W and the shadows but it's a little too distant and staged for me.
5) David K - Air Show Stars Arrive
Aren't they impressive and well done for capturing them on their side. This photo works when when enlarged to full screen, reflecting the difficulty of capturing them up close. I saw them over London recently but they only appeared as dots in my photos.
6) Duncan K - Narcissus
I guess this was done in the studio. Nice but a little to artificial and transparent for me.
7) Elaine J - A wet Afternoon
A single suited man with an umbrella. This pictures nicely sums up the scene. Great capture.
8) Howard F - Champs Elysee Showroom
How weird. An unusual crop I'm guessing?
9) Jim C - Heron in the Lune
The reflection is wonderful. I guess it helps they stand still! Nice capture.
10) Keith M - Morris Dancers in Training
Training!? :-) I guess the guy on the left is the most experienced. Nice capture of English folk music.

Impressive cars. Looks like it was taken many years ago.
12) Malcolm R - I Like This Place

1) Bernd H Indoor shots are never easy, especially with the contrast range of lights and shadows, I like this one, the drinker seems most intent in his task.
ReplyDelete2) Bill S Looks like it was a fierce battle there! Well seen and good processing & scanning.
3) Dave S Lovely high key shot, very simple and good composition.
4) David F Well exposed, processed and scanned, 16mm on full frame is superb (I’ve got a 15mm C/V for my M8 & M2)
5) David K You just caught the right moment there, a great shot of the planes, well done!
6) Duncan K So lovely, simple and well exposed.
7) Elaine J I like the reflection on the flooring, again it’s not easy to get a shot with this kind of dynamic range ‘right’ but this is well done and works.
8) Howard F A very interesting and well composed shot, I like this a lot.
9) Jim C Great shot, far better than any of my attempts to photograph Herons (they all fly away as soon as I get near!)
10) Keith M Training!?! I wonder what for! They all look like lads ‘us enjoy a ‘pottle’ of Ale (or two) a great ‘street’ shot of some interesting characters .
11) Keith W This has a wonderful 50’s feel to it, even down to the processing – they are great looking cars.
12) Malcolm R That’s a real ‘Who you lookin’ at’ stare, got to be fast for shots like this one – well done.
13) Phil C And I bet they are too! Well spotted and taken.
14) Robert H I do like this, lovely composition and processing – a nice shot.
15) Rob S Another 50s / 60s shot, and a good one too – I think the plastic chair is a little later but that’s beside the point – it works well as a photograph.
16) Theodore D I hope not! It’s still August yet – lovely colour and nice close framing

Lovely photo, more characters indeed, only criticism for me is the background that distracts .
