      Title: Reflections

      Here is another one I took today at Gibside Park, County Durham. A doorway reflecting in the pond.

            2nd.......Wiseowl........Machine Shop No 8......Unusual but perfect choice for the subject.

            3rd........Trunky........Frosty Fence.......This drew my eye. Trunky considered the shot angle well.

              3rd; @strongylodon - The Swiss Bridge, Birkenhead Park - Another great reflection capture with lovely rippled reflection of the bridge love the bright colours

                  1st ... Mrs Tea ... Reflections. A very eye-catching photo, simple yet effective. Good contrasts between the trees, brickwork and water.

                  2nd ... Strongylodon ... Corfe Castle. I like the way the low sun angle accentuates the structure of the walls.

                  3rd ... Sheal ... Maughold Lighthouse. Captures the theme of 'structure' nicely, with the lighthouse standing out beautifully against the background.

                    These ones caught my eye:
                    1st) Horton Tower. Well composed to bring out the majestic form, creepy weathering and moody sky.
                    2nd) Under the Old Bridge. Well composed; chaotic but ordered too with subtle colours
                    3rd) Chains. I don't know why; because it looks professional and all.

                        Here's mine:

                        1: Trunky - Frosty Fence Just reminds me of a winters day

                        2: Strongylodon - The Swiss Bridge, Birkenhead Park looks more like a Japanese bridge

                        3: Sheal - Maughold Lighthouse Don't know how they passed their days living in such a small place

                        Good luck to all :)

                          1) strongylodon - Swiss Bridge - I like how the bridge (beautiful!) and its reflection create a tunnel for the birds to glide through; really draws the eye!

                          2) roders - Natures Structure (2) - cheery colours and the light coming through the left hand side gives the picture dimension.

                          3) MrsTea - Reflections - I love the gate and the reflection of it in the water; a well balanced shot.





                          Well done everyone!

                              1 Roders Natures Structures. Nicely balanced photo and caputres the eye.

                              2 Wiseowl Any old Iron. Just a bridge but an impressive structure.

                              3 Trunky Frosty Fence. I like the curves with the frost, feels very cold!
