Needless to say, the judge didn't like them!
They've all been very heavily processed to bring out the gloomy and rather desolate aspect of a seaside town out of season. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but I still think they're quite powerful. Especially the last one, which originally reminded me of the Star Wars credits when I first saw it, but which has now been transformed into something far more sinister. Needless to say, the judge missed the solitary individual who had clearly ignored the warning aimed at all ye who enter here...

I like (if that is the right word) the panel, in that there is a story being told, with your personal slant on it, which in today's world, overflowing with information and images, is all too rare.
ReplyDeleteThe processing is high, but does add to the impact a lot. The flags are just the right start, with the 4th and 5th being particularly striking. Maybe in club photography it is the medium, not the message.
Do keep on with the themes, as Jeannette once said to me it is only a competition, and is not a measure of personal ability, of which yours is high.
