gvallee 3,413 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Taken on Christmas Eve. Town of Seventeen Seventy (1770), Queensland, Australia. Its name comes from the fact that Captain James Cook anchored the Endeavour 3 kms from its coast in October 1770. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Strange how a couple of figures can occupy such a small part of the pic area, and still be the subject. The eye goes straight to them...

Allan Bell 2,517 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I have a couple or two images I uploaded yesterday that I would like to put in this post, but they are waiting in QC and by the time they pass it will be February, so I will have to resurrect this post.😐 Allan 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Beastall 431 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Thanks, Cal, John and Mr Standfast. A combination of elements that make the image stand out. The open gate way, the track through the field, the figures silhouetted against the sky but, the main factor being B&W. You are distracted by colour. See below. Two more from the same day. Both shot in colour, but converted to B&W have more impact. Alan 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It is a really great image, hope it sells. Here is my contribution, we're still in early Jan but I suspect this will be my fav of the month. This goose was so cute, I sat and watched it despite being very cold for 30 minutes +. I suspect it was young as it was absolutely fascinated by the falling snow. Submitted as an LN pic at the time, but i've no idea yet if it sold Edited January 5 by Cal 2 Link to post Share on other sites

cbimages 722 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Like many, I've been going back through old files. This image is not really exciting, except when I went to see how many images of this shrimp were on Alamy, I found zero. It's always a nice feeling having the only image of a subject on offer.....if anyone ever wants a shot of this lovely little shrimp of course. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is it's because the UK is generally warmer than Canada. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Betty LaRue 3,171 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I stood and watched this honeybee on my Rose of Sharon (Althea) bush for 5-10 minutes. It was so covered with pollen, and for the first time in my life I saw one scraping the pollen into its pollen sacs on it’s legs. It was so totally engrossed in its chore that I was able to get close. It stayed in one place until I finally went back in the house. I should have taken a video that showed what it was doing. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Ashmore 1,147 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 As we're under lockdown in the UK again, that means staying home and photographing things at home.... so I had a play with my light tent, photographing some food items that I had recently bought. With hindsight, maybe I should have left a bit more blank space to the left of the cherry but I still like this image. Have to balance out the healthy food with something not-so healthy! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Sally R 664 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 This is an oldie I took in 2011 with my Nikon D3000 and the kit 55-200mm lens that I just rediscovered. And this is a recent one taken with my Sony RX100 of a hot summer's day at the beach. Even though they are small in the frame, I like seeing how the individual people are doing different activities. The turquoise to aquamarine colour in the water is my favourite colour. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
