Perthbum 5,693 Posted April 9, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]29392[/ATTACH] Really nice photo, would have been better if it had been a deserted beach Drinking rum before 11am does not make you an alcoholic, it makes you pirate.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perthbum 5,693 Posted April 9, 2015 I like this, it's not perfect but I like it. Did you take this shot? Yes, just on my daily walk with the dog and thought it looked good.

HappyHeart 12,137 Posted April 9, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]29398[/ATTACH]This is a great pic but be better if the tree was centered in the shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyHeart 12,137 Posted April 9, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]29392[/ATTACH]Good but better if taken looking down the beach, I find beach shots are best if face on or side on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) One of my other half's - he won a competition with this one, the sky is a bit over-processed I think though. It's the Falkirk Wheel in case people don't know, a unique boat lift between two canals. Edited April 9, 2015 by Lady Rainicorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bora Posted April 9, 2015 I loved polpero too.. not made my mind wether to go back to cornwall this year or go abroad... Its actually cheeper to go abroad Spain or FRANCE I'm not sure either, as much as we love it down there we've done it a few times in recent years. However my boys mate at School, his parents have a stunning holiday let in Widemouth Bay that we can use for a one-r for 2 nights in the summer hols. Probably do that, or Lake District.

Keith and Linda 2,476 Posted April 9, 2015 I loved polpero too.. not made my mind wether to go back to cornwall this year or go abroad... Its actually cheeper to go abroad Spain or FRANCE Well we are going abroad this year............................ to Cornwall! staying just outside Padstow for 4 days will be fitting in most of the little North coast ports and villages. Will be getting into Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire (sons wedding) and Yorkshire (see me Mam) too. we will also be going abroad aboard the Eurostar to Belgium for a few days too. So may post some photos later in the year. Enjoying life in Queensland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest241083 10,769 Posted April 10, 2015 Love it but would it have been better taken a little further back?

Thom 279 Posted April 10, 2015 I cannot like that, as I find the "sport" an abomination. A photo of the matador being gored would win high praise. all my eye and Betty Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmo 20,476 Posted April 10, 2015 I cannot like that, as I find the "sport" an abomination. A photo of the matador being gored would win high praise. You beat me to it.
