comment: I like the political messages but as photographs I'll have to go for the incongruity of mayoral regalia on a funfair ride and the sustrans sign with its rural oof background. I enjoyed the tour of your locality.

comment: I'm happy where I am but sometimes I'd like to have a new neighbourhood for stimulus. I love that old bridge with its wooden guard rails fixed to the stonework, old technology for a slower age. Always encouraging to see aattraactive modern architecture, the balconies look a nice place to relax.

comment: really enjoy manually setting the Tilt/Shift to create interest through selective focus, and always take pleasure in the image quality the CZ 135mm captures wide open.

comment: remarkable Laowa 180 degree fields of view somehow keeping out stray bits of the photographer's body, and beautiful renderings via the Domiron 2/50.

comment: that selective focus on the tip of the hypodermic syringe with its drop of liquid is prefect creative use of the tilt/shift. The autumnal corn cob looks just ripe for picking.

LAbernethy 3 pts: 17
LAbernethy 1 pt: 6
comment: as always, a very strong set. The mosquito coil with its glowing tip and interesting plume of smoke is perfectly set up, photographed and rendered, and the tightly cropped husky portrait is an immediate attention grabber.

Dopol 3 pts: 14

comment: the partial glimpse of the cyclist about to enjoy a well earned caffeine and sugar hit conveys its narrative in a very sparing and effective way, and the interesting modernist tower block rendered like an old postcard is very pleasing to the eye.

onsplekkie 3 pts: 12

comment: strong architectural forms, interesting sunburst lighting effect in day 12, and day 6 such a tranquil sunrise with the mists contrasting the sharpness of the ripples in the canal.

comment: delicate cobwebs sharply backlit against the OOF backdrop, and a very aesthetically pleasing doorway with the colours perfectly matching the potted geraniums on the wall.

AsD 3 pts: 4

comment: a couple of stunning seascapes, the first a beautiful composition with rich tones and the play of light reflecting off the water, rocks and wet sand, and the second a spectacular coastal scene, theatrically lit, and enhanced by that rainbow in the dark sky.

comment: the quintessential Northern Hemisphere Oktoberfest image of the carved Halloween pumpkin, and a beautiful hand forged door pull on an old door that's very appealingly presented in monochrome.

comment: Top Q. as usual - and you're trying to poke up the electricity-wars aren't you? (in Belgium there's a lot of arguing going on about new gas-centrals instead of our nucleair capacity - and Vilvoorde is one of those sites that may be used for a new 1GWh gas driven generator). So the special mushroom is more neutral and a natural winner.

comment: day 31 is the ultimate evil - but i succeeded in not falling into that trap. You have succeeded in posting some good looking images, in your case i had to select the 2 images in 3 runs.
