Michael Ventura 6,071 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Many thanks again for the votes for my ER doc photo, lots of deserving photos in that challenge. This month's challenge is, "Doors and Windows". I am sure most of you have photos in their collection that could fit the bill. I am looking for creative and interesting photos taken of or through all sorts of doors and windows (except the Microsoft kind and the old rock band kind 😀). Here are a few of mine as examples. Can't wait to see what you have!! As usual, up to three photos per person and all have to be on Alamy. Entries will close on Feb 28th at midnight New York time. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Are we still allowed to mix and match three images of windows and doors? Say two of one and one of another. Allan Link to post Share on other sites

spacecadet 4,053 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Allan's right. Three is hard. Ed, this one is through the window of La Antigua Abaceria in Seville. If you didn't get there I'm sure it would have been on your list😉 Edited February 8 by spacecadet 1 Link to post Share on other sites

meanderingemu 1,289 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 congrats on the win @Michael Ventura.... ok wide subject. down to 13 candidates.... 😀....need to cull down.... Link to post Share on other sites
Sally 1,725 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Congratulations on your win Michael. I think you have given yourself a tough one to select a shortlist! I had about 1,000 images just tagged ‘door’ or ‘window’ so not easy to choose. But a good topic. Number 1: did you know that the word ‘window’ derives from ‘wind door’? You can see why from this photo. An old merchant’s house in Leith, Edinburgh. Number 2: this pub just had to be called this, didn’t it? Number 3: there are a lot of wonderful doors in Edinburgh.

John Mitchell 4,934 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Well-deserved win, Michael. Congratulations. Great challenge. I'm addicted to photographing doors and windows, so too many too choose from. But here goes...

I open the image's page and right click on a blank space right next to the preview image. I then click on "View Page Info" in the drop-down menu, copy the URL with "/comp/" in it and paste it into the "Insert image from URL" box in my forum post (bottom right). Works every time. P.S. I'm using Firefox. Edited February 9 by John Mitchell 1 Link to post Share on other sites
