Thank you, Giles, I appreciate that from you...K, my real disappointment is with myself. I am not being cutting edge enough...Where is my meaning, beyond photography? The problem with Still Life with Knife was that I wanted to add a cup of blood to the bowl holding the fruit...but I'm busy too, like you K, how to find the time to do what is necessary? Further, where do I find a cup of blood at 9pm at night? Or, for that matter, at 9am? Where might I find a magic shop for fake blood? In the end, the picture was not important enough for me to complete...the failure on this scale was pretty profound. Lastly, I was worried how this might be received here among my friends...as if this should matter. I was unhappy with my inability to complete the project and doubly unhappy with my cowardice...which is a legendary and a problem in my life. I'm not a natural talent Like Michael Puff, Pops, ISO, Sharon and Shu or so many other participants...I need to push more. Oh, well....back to work.....lol Best Wishes, Traveller

What a lovely photo. I like the colour and the way the pier and sun rays focus on those two birds (sea gulls?). Gilles

Trav - this is an excellent image - the drama in sky is great and the details in pier are extraordinary. I can promisse you - if one day I'll win a challenge - I will announce a topic "Still life". The only problem - you can wait tool long - I almost have no time for "private life" in general and for photography particularly. K

No problem, Michael....you are the most gracious possible person and you have won this Challenge often enough, (I might add rightfully so), that I figured that you knew things I did not. Stuff happens....I was quite worried about this Challenge...there didn't seem to be much activity and after the dust up with K over my Still Life with Knife, I haven't seen him much. What can I say...Stuff happens...K prodded me on to better work and I thank him for that....However, I still like very much...as a sign of the times or something, Still Life with Knife very much....there was almost a disquieting sense of violence about it. Well...to me...lol But there has now been some really extraordinary images added and this all has made this a fine Challenge. Best Wishes, Traveller

Traveller, I removed the comment I made about problems arising from having an image that displays with "small", "medium", "large" and "original" options because I realised that the issue with the voting booth is no longer occurring. When it happened to me, I had an exchange of posts with Pops in the discussion thread and we decided the only sure way to avoid it was to keep the pixel dimensions low enough to avoid the "large" option appearing. I think there was at least one other image in the same challenge that had the same problem. After I posted the comment, I looked back at some recent challenges and saw that plenty of them had all 4 options and definitely did display the thumbnail in the voting booth, so either something has changed in the way the booth links to the images, or the issue that I had was caused by something else. Sorry for any confusion - I was hoping I had removed the comment before anyone saw it. Regards, Michael

Amazing light! Love the warm tones.

Hummm...thank you very much for the heads up on this. I am most concerned that this display well to the viewer...this is really, really important to me....there are some really fine images that is going to suck up all the votes anyway....lol Are you suggesting that I up loaded this wrong somehow? I Just went back and checked, all my previous entries, going way back, have the four designations under them. We'll just see what happens but I sincerely appreciate your thoughfulness. Best Wishes, Traveller

This is a really terrific shot Traveller. I love the interplay of the lines of the pier and the sun's rays. Best wishes Alastair
