    Silence

    This and Holy Smoke are two of my favourites. Silence reminds me a lot of contemporary classical album covers, I think it would make a great cover for a John Cage album.

    Inspiring as ever sasar, not the subject matter I would have expected from you but certainly up to your usual extremely high standard! Really like it.

    Love this shot shiny, but again i think it looks better on the screen that in the printed book. The book makes it a bit dark. It is a brilliant image, book doesnt do it justice !

    Haha, sorry. It still looks really good in the book, but having seen it on the screen before, this is what i thought (imo). Its just SO good, that unleass its in high definition (so to speak) it wont live up to my high regards.

    Now I am not into Sports or Sports Photography, but I just love that image. It goes beyond just being Sport to really tell a story. The expression captured on the guy to the left is just priceless when contrasted with the group to the right.

    My girlfriend and I are both of the same opinion as you CabanSail. I immediately click off when sports shots appear but this one is great.

    Thanks for the compliments, guys.
    Since sport is my "bag", I wanted to submit a sports image, but I was conscious of the fact that landscapes featured heavily and that the audience of the book may not necessarily be interested in a goal celebration from a League of Ireland game.

    I just thought there was enough emotion/expression in this one for it to appeal to a wider audience.

    Thanks Kate!

    I'm pretty proud of it myself in all honesty, but then when you have something like that in front of you its hard not to get a decent shot! :D

    Mine came out too dark. I think that the loss of the data is the worst from all photographs. And here is the link to the original (well, previous processing version).

    TBH City I think your pic is the worst in the whole book, so bad in fact its hard for me to even look at it, I just want to forget that terrible terrible day!

    Mine is this one:

    Love your shot, Dodgykeeper!
    The blurred hand stirs the image of a busy kitchen.
    It has a real continental feel to it.
    If I had one criticism, it would be the reflection of the plastic food container in the pasta press. Still a great image though.

    Me too!! Sheesh .....

    It now reminds me of those images on eBay ads where there is a reflection of the advertiser taking the photo, often naked. :eek: Some were accidental but then it became a bit of a fetish. If Jamie Oliver was in the kitcken then it could be a Naked Chef! (groan)
