Thanks, Mike, for taking the lead on the CYC. Post mortem: I enjoyed it. Some early disappointment with too much glare from my flash forced me to work a little more slowly and creatively with my speedlights -- something I've long intended to do but haven't practiced enough. I had intended to put the violin to more humorous use, or try a photo montage or tryptich or something, so I think I fell down a little on the "creativity" part. But I got some "challenge" from the challenge, and some keepers, and it was still manageable during a work week.
Good work, gentlemen -- and thank you for the kind comments. |

I just had a look through the thumbnails and hardly anyone has posted outtake thumbnails, so lets keep it simple and only vote on the main 7 for each participant.
Also, I just can't help feeling as there aren't too many of us, we can vote for a fave and 2nd best, giving 3 points or 1 points, a bit like DPC voting. So I've made the voting thread and a template for you all to copy/paste for your votes. Happy voting! CYC2021 Voting Thread |

Just a thought - if anyone wants any outtakes to be eligible for voting, please make sure their thumbnails are up to date

I think we are all in for an exhibition then
![]() I'll get my thumbnails updated later (homeschooling is upon me one more!) and get the voting thread up, in a similar style to other challenges. I'll also hope to have a leisurely browse through the photos. ![]() |

Well done all for completing the challenge!
My spare part arrived and my laptop is working again! Homeschool today was mostly online lessons via iPad so I had a chance to get some PP done. I’ll get my pics uploaded this evening :-) Shall we have a mini-exhibition? I can set up some voting threads so we can showcase each of our best shots (participation optional) |

Some comments (based on the thumbnails and clicking through to several full-size images)
@gregja: I knew from day 1 it was some kind of electronics apparatus and on day 5 you revealed it was a sound system. Great eye for detail, lines and shapes, as we are used to in your challenges @LAbernethy: great "Orange" theme, even though 2 is a nice shot it feels a bit out of place in the whole series and 7 is a nice wink between the "healthy" fruit and the "unhealthy" candy @onsplekkie: nice unity with the blue theme, all well executed with for me 3 and 6 a notch above the others @mikey2000: nice effort the first three days and unfortunate you had to break it off, great promise in there, especially after #3 @Phil Wood: great subject and nice piece of art, I probably like the two "blue sky" shots best (both the main and the outtake) @Howard_S: Kudos for trying the RD-175 and figuring out the problem with #3 wasn't the camera but a card. Nice subject and well presented and revealed, from the first few days I had no idea what it was. @addy landzaat: you picked a difficult subject, the statue itself is nice but the environment provided some challenges and you did well providing good variety and the snow the last two days was a bonus @Fred_S: flexible subject and you did well with it despite the apparent simplicity. The two abstracts provided a change and allthough 5 in itself looks nice in B&W when presented as a series you might leave it in colour (and blue) @dCap: Clean series, all well executed and composed. The muted tonses in some combined with B&W works well as a series. Are you planning to put a roll through it and see if it still works? @alanfrombangor: great imagination, as of 4 I had a hunch there was going to be a Hitchcock later on and you didn't dissapoint. The consistent B&W treatment and square cropping worked well and 7 is a hoot @alpha_in_exile: well executed series with a nice dark/warm tone and accentuating the lines and delicate grain in the wood. |
