The funny thing is my Dentist is a Lefty, so this picture is kind of correct. Though he stands on the other side.

Time for a wash!

Only looks like soap suds. In reality it's Cottonwood fluff piling up on the shore.

The contest is closed. I will try to come up with a judgment over the course of the day.

 

[Janichsan]

Well, here's my judgment. As always, purely subjective...

@akash.nu That's really some clean nature. I like the incredible detail and the layering with the somewhat darker background emphasizing the foreground.

@someoldguy Fits the topic, but looks a bit too much a random snapshot. A photo of one of the men cleaning a car could have made an interesting picture, although the guy on the right already looks quite suspiciously.

@deep diver Artisanal brooms - Traditionalism or Hipsterdom? Discussion at 11. Anyway, an almost intimate picture with a great focus on the tools and the material.

@Strider64 Great LEGO build with nice details. There's even "water" in the sink. Good macro shot.

@Apple_Glen_UK That is one clean cat. The brighter vignetting gives the picture a somewhat "dreamy" atmosphere.

@OldMacs4Me The landscape in the background looks impressive. Where is that? I can see your reasoning for your motif, but unfortunately the "foam" is a bit too indistinct to catch the eye. A closer view or a different angle to put it more into focus might have made the picture more interesting.

@oblomow Well, that's just sh—!

And the final results:

3rd: @Strider64

2nd: @akash.nu

1st: @deep diver

Yeah I just wasn't coming up with anything that fit the topic well.

Just on the Alberta side of the Continental Divide along highway 3. Facing more or less east from an edge of Island lake.

Thanks for the kind words and the safe podium place [mention]Janichsan [/mention] great judging.

Looking forward to what [mention]deep diver [/mention] comes back with.

And of course congratulations to everyone.

Yadda, yadda, yadda................

I'll try to come up with something tonight.

===========

My pict is definitely traditionalism. I shot this at a 18th/19th Century property called Hale Farm in Bath, OH. I shot this 19th Century property with my daguerreotype lens (of course.).

My entry looks like a random snapshot because it is a random snapshot . The 2 guys in the picture don't wash your car , they just take your money and hose off the wheels . The washing part is done mechanically as your car , with you in it , is pulled through the wash . I thought it'd be neat to get images of inside the wash during the washing process , but the results were , to say the least , not what I'd hoped .

Weekly Photo Challenge Contest, July 5-12, 2021: My Favorite Things

The topic of this week's contest is "My Favorite Things". This was prompted by a young friend whose 5th grade art contest was based on this theme. Lest you think this is too easy: PICTURES OF PEOPLE AND PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED Other than that, interpret as you will. Standard rules apply...
