Just in or going out?

Sentry duty?

I've sung the praises of Stephan Vanfleteren before.
Vimeo has a few short films (with subtitles) that illustrate a recent show in Antwerp;

I rarely do this but I just thought that the original of the image below would serve as a good comparison as the relative merits of each image came up for discussion in our house.

Sentry duty?

It is actually a parasol so it really was trying to escape into the sunshine outside

Good stuff. It looks suitably pompous

I think black and white looks better, the colours clash somewhat.

I prefer the monochrome myself. I think that it lends a sense of atmosphere to the image. That is the way that I perceived it anyway.

Agree with both of you. The actual colors of the parasol give it a very different feel, and draw the eye rather strongly to the parasol instead of letting it be just one element of the whole. And in the b+w, the reflection becomes a ghost.

Obviously, you were aiming to show the geometric lines of this "still life". The B / W highlights the lines, whereas the colors that don't even match each other require too much attention IMO, so B / W gets three stars from me.

I know that this one was one of my "lost" images recently. There is one other one which I also remember now and will dig it out and post later.

If anyone has "lost" an image please try to post it again to keep this fine thread going

Grrr! I'll be up all night typing in all of my pithy comments again. 

[aligreto]

This is the other one that I had posted prior to the crash [I think that is all of them now]....

Never pithy at all so please do and do also post a photo or two 

[aligreto]

This one is a new one taken in my back garden [so still at home]....

Very nice Fergus.

Very nice Fergus.

That is the bird bath in my back garden. It actually gets quite a lot of use from my avian friends. I must set my tripod up somehow to get some bathing birds from my window but logistically that is not very practical. I will investigate further.
