You might recall that I was recently lucky enough to win my third "Picture of the Week" over on the geograph website. As usual my reward was to pick the next winner from a shortlist of fifty images. Below is the photograph that I picked as the bronze medallist. It was taken at Nostell Priory which I visited just last Friday:-
In second place, I picked this picture of an oak tree up in the Scottish Highlands. It's near a small lake called Lock Achilty which is not too far from Inverness:-
And the next picture was my favourite so it was the overall winner. It was taken by a gentleman called Alan. The location was just east of Ilkeston in Derbyshire. Alan was standing on a footbridge that crosses The Erewash Canal. I admired the geometrical symmetry of Alan's image and how this was assisted by the reflections on the water.
Those are lovely, and no need to apologize for not having your commenters vote. I bet when you did that the first time you never realized you'd be winning twice more so soon and making things difficult for yourself :) I like seeing your choices. There appears to be more than enough talent to go around in that competition.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your endorsement Jenny.
DeleteCongratulations once again. We benefit from your talent in photography
ReplyDeleteI am glad you appreciate my efforts Red.
DeleteI think that you made a good choice.
ReplyDeletePhew! That's a relief sir.
DeleteOf the three, I like the first one best. It exudes tranquility.
ReplyDeleteI admit the geometrical symmetry is interesting in the third, but I'll tranquility over trigonometry any day of the week...any night, too. :)
Okay. Point taken.
DeletePlease note my correction of my typo....I meant to type "but I'll take tranquility....."
DeleteSorry....
We all make mistakes.
DeleteWhat Lee says (and she says it far better than I can).
ReplyDeleteLee makes a good argument.
DeleteThey are all great, but I think I like the oak tree best.
ReplyDeleteThat was so nearly my winner. I loved the abstract quality of that picture.
DeleteI was going to say the same thing as Meike. The oak tree is my favorite.
DeleteI am with Lee as well!
ReplyDeleteThat's three women in the Lee team. Please don't beat me up!
DeleteI think the first one is my favourite too. So calming.
ReplyDeleteLee is building a ladies football team.

ReplyDeleteAnother one for Lee's team.
DeleteCongrats and for what it's worth, I think your selection of the next winners was the right one.
ReplyDeletePhew! That's a relief.
DeleteI can see the reason for picking each photo that you did. Good call overall. Congrats again and greetings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reassurance Mr B.
DeleteThe geometry IS nice in that third photo. Someone has a very good eye! Well, both the photographers and the judge, actually.
ReplyDeleteYes the judge has a good eye. The other one is glass.
DeleteWho would have thought that a lock gate could be so beautiful, I love the reflections.
