Fabulous shots, Wes and a nice tank too. What is its volume? I kept freshwater tropical fish for quiet a few years in my late teens and early 20s, but gave them up when I moved away from home for work. Living in rented accommodation then prevented me continuing. Over the time when I did have...

And that is a scary prospect.

That is a lovely shot, Gary. The texture is just right. Bizarrely, our were flowering in the garden in late November. Months ahead of when they should.

Fabulously confusing, Chris. What a brilliant combination.

Congratulations again, Aldous. I’m sure you must have taken some pictures of the event! ;)

Brilliant again, Chris. I love the weary expression of the figure in the portrait too: it goes so well with the shot. :)

What a spectacular coastline, Aldous (and damn fine shots of it too). Plus an interesting discussion about processing. :) However, the most intriguing bit for me is, did I miss you saying before you’d got married?! ;) Congratulations - although they are probably rather overdue! :)

Brilliant! So you’re the one on the right? ;)

Wonderful. ‘cusp of the moment’ timing, Chris. I guess we’ll never know whether he liked it or not!

Just as painters play with new media or push familiar ones. What is wrong with that?

Ah, hence the bars. I think the contrast works well, Gianluca. You really need to look into the shadows to understand what you are seeing and, given the context you have now added, that makes what is a strong image even more meaningful I think.

It works well and, as Beth has noted, you have captured a nice set of intimate-looking scenes too.

A wonderful composition, Gianluca. The black sun is a great detail, especially positioned below that dark streak and is mirrored nice by that metal object in the window. I also really like the way the lighting has highlighted the branches of the tree again thr dark background.

They do, and I like the blurred and ghostly figures very much.

A nice shot, but a worrying situation. When I left the UK to come back to Potsdam for Xmas, the Paperwhite narcissi were flowering; normally that would be in March!
