Allan Bell Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 After thinking of a few subjects for this challenge, and seeing they have already been done, I decided to go for something simple of which most will have suitable photos. The title of the challenge covers a wide gamut of subjects and I offer five sample images to help start the competition. The subject in the photo is your own choice so long as it shows the title of the challenge in some prominence. The usual conditions apply: Three photos per entry and the photos must be on Alamy. Submissions close February 28th at 11.59pm. GMT Early morning Wightlink ferry approaching Yarmouth Isle of Wight. Gold morning light. Front of library in Saffron Walden Essex. Gold paint. Spine title of Pocket Oxford Dictionary. Gold print. Gold Rapport Gentlemans pocket watch. GOLD. Rowan tree in autumn. Natures Gold. Good luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Congratulations on your win Allan, a super shot ! Unfortunately I don't have any shots featuring gold that are worth uploading, but I'll tell you a tale about my gold wedding ring. My first ring was lost at sea, somewhere in the Tyne estuary while racing a sailing dinghy, unlikely ever to be seen again. My wife bought me a replacement, that I subsequently lost in the garden. Miraculously it was found some years later, only to be lost again while cleaning out the house gutters. This time I fear it is gone for good, but I still occasionally find myself rubbing my ring finger and discovering that the ring is not there ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
