Congratulations Al for this month's beautiful image!
Fabulous color and one very eclectic looking cafe!
And congratulations and thank you to everyone who entered and who took the
time to look at the images and vote.
It was great to see such a broad range of interpretations on the theme.
I was hoping that we might see someone enter a cup of coffee with a decorated
topping with an astronomy theme and Bart did exactly that!
Thanks Bart!
Ken's (aka Nico13) luscious treatment borrowed heavily from the world of
professional commercial photography and he provided us with an image worthy
of gracing the pages of the glossiest of magazines. Wonderful!
Paddy's image brought with it a fabulous sense of humanity and can be interpreted
as a tribute to local small business owners throughout the country. If your local
shire council runs an annual photographic competition (I know ours does), you
should consider entering it.
Tony always seems to go above and beyond in filling a brief and it was sorry to
hear some illness in the family curtailed the time and energy he would normally been
able to devote. Tony, when you mentioned there were unfortunately "not enough
people milling about adding to any action" I know what you mean and had it been
busier on the night, in your infinitely capable hands, I am sure you would
have captured the winning shot. A bit of motion blur from patrons coming and going,
in the style much loved by National Geographic editors perhaps? It is still
a beautiful composition though!
Best Regards
Gary
