Congratulations Brian!
I still can't believe I was second and for a while there it was even tyed . I feel a winner as it's the closest I've come in this comp. .
I love the title of the next challenge. It's certainly making me think creative thoughts especially after Tim's post (thanks Tim!). Or just open my jewellery drawer .
Or the Etihad Airways plane has some very awesome bling on it hmmm, especially in golden hour, it looks even more spectacular.
Congratulations Brian on a splendid winning shot and an intriguing new challenge.
After reading Tim's very helpful definition of “Glitter" I had a wander round the garden this morning looking for some suitably “coruscating effulgence” - but I drew a blank..... Perhaps I just didn’t recognise it…
But I did spot this little chap enjoying the flowers. Now where was he last month? Nice wings, but do they have enough “fulgurating lambency” to meet the September Glitter challenge? And what does it all mean??
I think so! Wow such great sparkle coming off it, Chris , I love this!
Thanks Suzy.
I was about to send you a PM but I got a message saying that apparently your message box has maxed out and you need to clear some out before it will accept any more.
Congratulations on your close finish with "Wings". How are you and your hubby finding the new 6D MkII?
Thank you so much Chris, I'm still chuffed .
I've dealt with my inbox and have sent you a message back. Apologies for the late response as I'm sick at the moment & up until yesterday not been on line a whole lot
