Well, with my tooth infection not much I could do today - so I took the camera and an old 50 1.8 MF up and down the back lane - and discovered a 'riot' of colour just over my back fence -welcome to the back streets of Newtown :-)

I'm with you YiP - #4 :)

Agree with the above - the simplicity of #4 does it for me.

Justin - I know what it's like when you get frustrated and just have to shoot something. (Or even take photos of something)

The first three are either a little too busy or lack a central theme. I reckon you've come close to isolating the subjects with your compositions in #2 and #3 but they still lack something.

#4 is interesting but, unlike my esteemed colleagues here, it's not my fav. Despite the composition, I actually like the colours in #2 - the violet background broken by the yellow blooms is something I find quite relaxing. Okay, where're the keys to my Kombi...

I'll add my vote for #4 as well.

Is it true you have a dental appointment at tooth hurty? :)

Thanks all ... #4 was the easiest of all the shots, a wall of ivy a natural subject. I think #2 has some potential so will have another stab at it...

#1 was just the 'riot'.

#3 I think also has some potential so I'll play some more with this as well.

anybody lend me a pair of pliers for some DIY dentristry?
