Don't worry I'll enter it anonymously:wink: Oops - just remembered - I sent something else instead! Never mind, see what you all think of that one... I didn't think that pic would be allowed because the coach is quite obviously on another line - nothing to do with the powercar in...

I take it this wouldn't be allowed...?:D

Eh?:???: The place I had in mind is a running line, with a very overgrown (brambles etc) disused line alongside. I doubt anything has run over it for 20 years. The reason I'm asking is because the tracks are still in situ, and may be visible in my shot

I'll second that! I've got nothing yet, and have only got one chance to get something on Saturday ... but I've got a feeling there's a disused line alongside the running line where I was planning to go. I'll try to find somewhere else, but just in case...:D

How would you know a particular train was ECS anyway? Could be really pedantic as well and point out in my previous life as a conductor, on our night turn we were booked Passenger-As-Ordered on an ECS move from Cardiff Canton to Gloucester!:D

I have just set up my very own Flickr site, albeit with not that many photos yet, and would greatly appreciate comments and advice on my pictures please. I would ask you to bear in mind, though, that I don't do Photoshop - I'll crop but that's my limit! Thanks in advance! minette

Ah, passion.... Yes I remember passion. It's the thing you have for people till the kids come along, then you have it for things and opinions! As a mum of 3, I'm now doing photography cos it gives me a chance to get away from the kids for a while ... hopefully then I can go back to them a...

Thank you for clarifying - we all know exactly where we stand now. I'll go away now and keep quiet for a while - I'm sure that'd be favourite for loads of people on here!:D

THANK YOU! I'm so glad I'm not the only one - I was starting to feel like I was some kind of reject. I'll crop my photos, but as I said before, that could be done with scissors in the "old days" - that's my limit.:) I'll now go and stick my nose back on!:D

Check again, mate. I was the one who originally called into question the motion in your picture - and I still think it shows no motion at all. The fact that it was manipulated to the extent that it was, is just another reason for not voting for it - and yes, I still think it's a stunning...

The sad thing, as I see it, is that I spend time going out, with my camera, to see what I can capture through the lens. That then is, to me, a photograph which can be entered, or not, into POTW. Then I see images entered against mine which have either been painted over to remove a major...

Let's see if I'm reading this right. Photos are old hat now, the whole point of what we used to call a photo is to "enhance" it to within an inch of itself and call that a photo instead. And the POTW competition is not about photos, it's about who can play with their computer the best? If that's...

If this is progress, I'm not interested! When I put my films in for processing, I was trusting the staff to faithfully reproduce what I had taken - whether it was good or bad. When I see the original shot of what was entered in last week's POTW, compared with the edited picture that won it, I...

I'm sure I read somewhere that altered photos, at some point, cease to be "photographs" and become "pictures" instead. I also tend to be wary of changes made on the computer - I've only just come round to the idea of cropping, on the grounds that scissors would have served the same purpose in...

Mumrar - I have only one thing to say about that photo - WOW! That would definitely have got my vote - you can see the movement, but it's subtle enough not to give me a headache!:D

Maybe I'm missing something here - surely the title of this week's competition was "Shots showing motion"? On that basis, the shots that don't show motion should be disallowed, or not voted for. I personally don't like motion shots very much either, and I happen to think no 4 is absolutely...

I've got some lovely ones of the old Midland Hotel - the front part (now closed off) of St Pancras. I wish I could have entered them, cos it's a gorgeous building - but it is, technically, part of St Pancras so not allowed.:( Never mind, hopefully you'll like what I've sent instead - and...

Mmm - I see your point, but from my point of view, I'm entering (in my opinion) the best photo I've got that I think fits the subject. Then I see other people's photos and form my own opinions about them (good and bad) and vote accordingly. But I still don't know where I personally am going...

The problem at the moment is that people are just giving a number, with no explanation. A critique of the other pictures would be useful - especially to me, as a newbie who rarely gets a vote I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong! All I know at the moment is that you as a group don't like what...

Just a quick query - why do people feel the need to announce which photo's getting their vote? I've noticed that some weeks no-one tells, other weeks (like this week) there's loads - and quite often doing the sheep thing - so-and-so's voted for x, so I will too!:lol: I'm not trying to start an...
