Weekly Photo Contest: Gone But Not Forgotten (May7 - May 14, 2021)

[deep diver]

God forbid the judge ever be allowed to compare apples to apples. It would make the job way too easy! If I am ever here again maybe I'll pick apples as the topic.

Inflicting that pain on the judge is the only joy we get out og gambling on first place.

It is a great topic in part because it is hard. We appreciate the time it takes to write thoughtful comments.

Did you notice that I'm still struggling to say "thank you"? I was taught always to be polite, so............

T. Th. Tha. Than. Thank. Thanks. ?

I'll have the new topic posted later today.

I don’t think my photo was very set up other than using a tripod. I don’t really remember but at the time my husband had already moved for his new job and the kids and I stayed back a couple of months. I think he was home on the weekend and it occurred to me we needed a photo of us all in front of the house before it was too late. If you haven’t noticed, I like flowers so those were just there as a matter of course. ?

it occurs to me that I should do a similar photo in our current house even though we aren’t moving any time soon.

Thanks for your comments, I know the photo could have been better technically, but it was a spur of the moment shot, more interested in the subject than the composition. Just wanted to give Squeak one last shot of immortality.

Not sure about immortality, but a week is a big step up from the allotted 15 minutes.

The hallmark of a good photographer, it's all so automatic that things often just fall seamlessly into place. The new photo will definitely be different with you now looking up at your son.

Thanks for the judging/comments! Hopefully some folks found the entry and the other extraneous stuff entertaining . My entry pic is from 2015 , which was the last time I was at the Point . Tried to get there last week , but the undergrowth in the forest has gotten quite a bit bigger . There's no marked trail or directions to find the place , think I went down every deer/animal track through the bush to the cliff , but no luck . Guess the critters just aren't old movie fans .

Another awesome judging @OldMacs4Me and thank you for the podium, especially sharing with someone like @Hughmac.

I agree with both of your comments on the entry being a bit too stretched and the artefacts.

I just didn’t notice it on my phone well. Guess this one is a better version?!

Thank you, especially as I can't get out much with a camera these days due to family circumstances, but I can tell you that I am a big fan of your work

Cheers

Weekly Photo Challenge Contest: FRUSTRATION (May 16-23, 2021)

The past few weeks have been pretty challenging. I feel like no matter how quickly I chase one issue, 3 more pop up. I'm feeling very frustrated and decided to share the pain. As always, you are free to interpret as you want. I am looking for images that show frustration rather than images of...
