For the past 12 months, I've been experimenting with mono/duotone shots and the square format. These are my favourite three so far:

Tide Pool
90 secs @ f/16

Across the Sound
75 secs @ f/16

Dawn at Thornwick Bay
10 secs @ f/16

#1 - Turnberry Lighthouse

I'm going to open with one of my own personal favourites. I have this on a 45" x 30" canvas in my kitchen. I like it because the sun was going down to my left behind a big rain cloud which painted the land in a muted blue light, it's made the picture more like an oil painting than a photograph.

We have rocks too you know.

Ok, they're smaller rocks, but they're still rocks!

#2 River Etive in Glen Etive

This was one of my best, taken yarns ago on a D60.

In the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The alcove was illuminated by a low sun through a stained glass window, and just as I was taking the picture a tourist walked behind me. It looks like a monk.

I have it framed and hung in my hallway. The print cost a tenner, the bloody framing was over £100!

Rait,
I have 3 entries, and while they might seem "ordenary" take this into account while viewing them:

- They where taken with a simple Sony cybershot Dsc-W35
- The photographer is 4 years old (stepson)

I took this today. Its the Chew Reservoir in the Peak District, 1,600 feet above sea level. I walked up this road to get to it, a climb of around 1,000 feet over 2 miles. I actually had another shot in mind, but I wasn't sure how long it took to walk there so abandoned it for another day.

Hope you like.

#2 - The Rocafella building - by Edmund. Slightly off-centre but I forgive him

 

[Jupitus]

Close one as usual, but Tierk #3 for me...

 

[old.user4556]

I had a hard time picking one, indeed I can't decide between Gaff's #1 or #2.

I'm going to say DaGaffer #2. Composition is great - it's like the rock face and the sky mirror each other in shape. The fantastic complimentary colours and the moon just finish off a really simple but effective shot.

 

[Ch3tan]

tierk 3.

 

[tierk]

Milou 2 - i have a thing about B & W pictures and all 3 are awesome.

 

[DaGaffer]

Tom's Chew Reservoir one. I'd kind of promised myself that I wouldn't vote for any shot with smoothed out water in it (sorry guys but I think we've seen that effect a LOT in this competition over the last year ), but I really like this one and the way the tower intersects with the water.
