               Emily L. Ferguson - Valley in Gwynant, Wales
[Chris] Wales has a beauty all of its own and the little chapel dominating
the valley is a reminder of the dominance of the Christian religion in the
lives of the friends.
       
               Jim Snarski - Privacy, Please!
[Chris] It is always difficult to take nature shots like this. When I try
the bird has just flown! But here a long focal length lens is used to get a
very effective shot - now where did I see this before!
               John Palcewski - Number One Bus
[Chris] This is my favourite image for this week, a candid snap of a family
on their way to a party but too poor to use a car. Unfortunately this type
of image is illegal in Britain because the authorities think that the
snapper is a paedophile or that paedophiles will get hold of the image, so
also are images taken that have recognisable images of people unless the
subject has given permission. Shame on the British authorities! They have
made street photography almost impossible. And if you produce a D45 in the
street you are often surrounded by howling teenagers hurling verbal abuse or
angry adults likewise similar. Television did that....
               Rob Miracle -
[Chris] A lovely posed shot of two proud human mates about to start a
family.
               Martha Johnson - MGA Drive-by Shots - Red Truck
[Chris] This is a not very impressive image of a truck wheel. Why did you
take it?
       
               Laurenz Bobke - Cagliari harbour
[Chris] This is an attempt to make industrial landscapes beautiful and it
worked however I would have made the dark area a silhouette with no detail
and brightened the sky with increased saturation.
       
               David Small - cleanup after Tia Festival
[Chris] You have clearly illustrated the mess we Homo sapiens (!) make when
we enjoy ourselves and that our principle pleasure is consuming intoxicating
liquor in massive quantities - oh I think I spy some cola shells in there.
What will 41 century archaeologists make of a find like that I wonder?  
               Christopher Strevens - Bagged
[Chris] I thought I would capture the event which for me signifies the end
of chemical photography. Hooray!

       you've seen the birdbath before but not this particular
visitor...the birdbath is located just beyond the sliding glass door
that leads into my kitchen...the variety of birds that visit it is
quite astounding from dimunitive Chickadees to rather large Cooper's
Hawks...I keep my Nikon on the kitchen table for one never knows
who's coming...I'm sure I'll be posting more visitors...

      thanks for taking the time to comment...there seems to be a
dearth of reviewers this week...

Apologies for late reply - been traveling - but wanted to answer the
question!

Taken for a series of images for British Car gearheads - our MGA is
beautifully reflected in the pristine hubcap of the truck as we roll down
the interstate at approximately 75 mph. Probably fits better with the
series instead of standalone, but thanks for the comment anyway. This
gallery didn't seem to draw many reviews, but I'm just getting caught up
on messages.

Wonderful gallery every week in my opinion!
