Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

Hi everyone,

The new competition theme will be People


It will begin to-day July 21st at 6-0pm and will end at 6-0pm on August 4th.

I will be looking for more candid shots rather than portraits.

Good luck to you all.

It' a hard life.

Oh! Mr Porter



Please don't ask, cos I don't know.

Tom.

Tom. Wow, that is an amazingly good timing AND a great image / composition. I think it is probably inappropriate to wax lyrical before the end of the competition but Kudos!

Le Pen supporters on the streets in Paris.

The competition is now closed, time to start judging.
This has been a difficult one as i like so many of the pictures, anyway lets begin.

John The girls look so happy and relaxed, i don`t think i would be sitting on a railway line with a train so close.
I would have liked a tighter crop, as i find the blue on the left hand side a little intrusive.

Len This is great, it made me smile, it was very well seen. I could have eaten fish & chips when i saw this, my only gripe is, i would have cloned out
the white line on the road.

Bazz I like the crop you have given this picture, i would loved to have seen the ball, a good action shot never the less.

Keith This image is to large for my monitor, i can`t see the whole image without moving it up and down.
It is a very busy shot, my eyes keep going all over it, the people seem to be lost in all the metal work.

Des what can i say.
Four happy people had a great day out.

Mike This is a smashing shot, even though it`s busy.
I just keep wanting to look at the good looking chap in front, he is really enjoying the day.
The reds are superb.

Lee Another busy picture.
I wish i could have seen the young mans face as he strokes the statue.
I find the background a little messy.

Ruth What shapes and sizes we have at A.D.A.P.S.
I like the picture overall it was almost in the top three.

Paul Nice tight crop, you have just shown us enough of the car to make the image strong.
I like this very much, it`s just let down for me because the mans face is shaded.

Sue Guess who? I think i know the guy on the right, perhaps you set it up, who cares, it made me smile.

Tracy A photographer at work, i think you should have taken a powder puff for the photographers bald head
Ha Ha
It would have been a stronger image i think if you had taken off the wheel on the left, but very well seen.

Bert What a lovely couple enjoying their holiday, i hope there were no flies about.
This is very sharp and the colours are great.
I would have taken the top off to the hand rail to make the image stronger.

Tom D`ont usually go for monochrome, but this ticks all the boxes for me
The expressions of both guard and driver are spot on.
It made me smile, i had to keep going back for another look.

Steve This is a good subject, love the man in front, but i would have liked the background a little more out of focus,.



Thats it folks now for the important part


1st Tom----just love everything about it.
2nd Len----So well Seen.
3rd Mike---Such a colourful image.

Thank-you to everyone for taking part in the competition.


Would Tom now start the next theme.
