I had another idea for this weeks theme but discarded it as it was too similar to one in the recent topic list but it can remain memorized for another time. Smile

This following weeks theme I chose as "Gates". I remembered an image that I took for the Black and White Challenge a while ago which I never used was of a pair of Gates separating a pathway and a field. It's still sitting on my hard drive as I quite liked it so the mission for the following week is to take an image that includes a Gate or Gates.

Rules

1. The challenge is just for fun.
2. All images must be taken after the theme is announced.
3. All images must be uploaded by 8pm on Wednesday
4. All uploads must be B&W (or sepia toned)
5. Only one upload per member
6. The person who hosts is the judge for that week challenge and the judge’s decision is final
7. The winner gets to create, run and judge the challenge for the following week
8. Have fun

Quote:Bill?


I'm assuming I made a typo that you corrected. If so then where do I send the Bill payment to? Smile

Ah, Ok Bill Gates. I just got it. A little slow this morning. Blush Smile

I did just think "Bill Stickers" for a possible future theme. Wink

Well that was coincidental. Mrs D & I were having lunch on the marina.
The restaurant is adjacent to the lock gates.
A three shot HDR composite in Affinity, edited and B&W conversion etc. in Luminar 3 and a border with Elements.

Oh yes and a very nice slow cooked beef dinner. TongueWink

Well, the Macro Challenge has come and gone so it is probably time for a little bump. Smile

OMG. So sorry. Completely forgot about the challenge. It's been a bit of a week with one thing and another and I don't have time to go out now to do something. Really sorry. Sad I thought it'd be a good challenge too.

Okay. back at last and as expected (always) a hard time picking a winner. I do tend to pick a subject, type the spiel and then as soon as I hit the "Add Topic" I think "Nooooo, that's rubbish!! I should've chosen the other idea, Malc, delete it for me......MALC......!!" Smile

Never the less, I shouldn't worry as I always forget the subject is not so much important as how it is read and approached and all themes seem to produce good ideas and good images.

So on to the verdict and five entries this week (doesn't make it any easier) and I certainly enjoyed viewing them all. After much deliberation I have decided that I am going to have to return serve and declare "Lock Gates" by Dave as this weeks winner.

So well done to Dave and many thanks to everyone for taking part this week. Smile

One down and one to go......

Erhmm...what? who? where?...oh, it's you, Eddie. Do you have to shout, you woke me up!

Ah well, as I'm compus mentus I guess I'd better congratulate the lock-keeper on his win, and thank whispering Eddie AC for choosing the right or wrong topic this week.

Well that's presented a challenge in itself - I've got to think of something.

Thanks Eddie, a great challenge and I'd seen the topic just before going a lunch on the Marina.
Great entries from everyone, glad I didn't have to choose.

Back early tomorrow (at the latest) with the next topic.
