    I'm going to have to go with Trevor's "Swallowed by Nature" photo this week.

      A slew of great photos again, with 5-6 that I think are really special. Tough choices.

      trevor, the crashed bike is a hard won picture. Lots of emotion and story there...Although I don't know if nature was taking over, or the bike was crashing the gates....

      Scott, (marvinsc), great to have you in the game. I really like your photo because your KLR's color and the house color work together.
      I might have cropped out the right and the bottom, getting rid of a lot of the road and the sign. I may try it later.

      Redman, you always sell your photos with a great story, or historical facts, this time was no different.

      Jedz123, dang nice exposure under tricky conditions. Makes me feel that nature might win.

      My vote will got to gustovh, however. I love the lighting in that shot. The direction and color are just great. Good eye seeing that.
      The gold of the low sun reflecting on the bike, the matching colors on the old building. Very nice. I wish the sky wasn't blown out, but that could be fixed.

        I struggled with this one. Jedz had the drama of nature nailed down firmly but my vote goes to Baatfam. The lighting through the trees and composition gave it the edge for me.....

            Crashing the gates? Nah, I think it was more like, the bike was stuffed down natures freakin' throat...

              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                MarvinSC, Again, Welcome to the game.

                Please take this as encouragement. No offence meant by the following:

                Ha!
                I thought about the same thing, and already had edited the pic. ALthough I was thinking that the road on the bottom added little and could have instead included more of the trees in the upper part of the frame.

                I suppose the picture was taken more for abandoned-house-on-side-of-road, and is fine for that documentary purposes.


                Had the picture been composed-framed more like this, my vote for this week would have been made up in sort order.

                  Yours did show Nature Taking Over.
                  Not so much with overgrowth, but with Erosion and gravity taking over, over powering civil engineering and structural strength.

                    Yes, I didn't try to remove the sign, just crop it out, but a very similar change....

                        And the votes are in!
                        I count 13 submissions, and 15 votes.
                        And I counted twice, at least, to arrive at the following:

                        One (1) vote each for marvinsc and Redman,
                        Two (2) votes each for gustovh and trevor,
                        Four (4) votes for runnerup Jedz,
                        and five (5) votes for this week's winner, Baatfam! This is Bob's fourth win this year.

                        Congrats, Bob, for your Triumphant shack-in-the-woods.

                        What do you give for our theme this Thanksgiving (US) week?

                          I concur. My count is the same....(And curiously, I don't think Dave, (Redman), voted this week.)

                          But, thanks everyone, that was a great theme....

                          And for this week?

                          Oh, crap...why don't I ever have a plan in case I win? Hmmmmm...I'll have something later today...

                            OK...I want to do a theme our northern friends could pull off, if the weather is bad....

                            I want to do something more artistic...something a little different.

                            Pick out your favorite bike and show us why you think it is beautiful.
                            Give us an interesting, artistic, or sales brochure shot. Think "Glamour Shot," or "Print Ad."
                            Close up and detailed, or the whole bike...let see what we can do.

                            Below are few examples I stole from this thread, at one of my photography forums....







                            Still have to figure out my entry....

                                Great theme!

                                Not sure if this can be accepted or not...this is a pic of my Cooley that was used for the ICBC calendar but it was not taken by me...

                                I'll get another one if it's not ok....I had this pic blown up and is on my garage wall.

                                No signature :(
