Yes, you are at such a natural advantage with flare, given your skills, style and weather!! Nevertheless you haven't dropped the ball here. I'm curious about the rendering- as the Tamron is one of the biggest purple fringers in the history of photography, and I wouldn't be surprised if you sucked out all the purple from this shot....

This theme is right up your alley O MOL! Very creative!

I like this, a bugs eye view of the tyre.

Fun and eye-catching. A lot to like here. The framing, colors and subject are all appealing. That location is a goldmine.

I like it, but the bricks at the back are a little distracting to me. (So I'm going to "borrow" this idea with a smooth background!).

Love how the bikingly sharp wheel cuts the frame in two. Perhaps a less monumental feel than the one you featured, but a more interesting, powerful composition.

Monumental! Such fun using pixel shift. Such a good pov. Great use of the old Tak 20. I'm off to see the others now.....>

A coq au vin of a photo. Tasty and rich.

Me too. I like seeing more of the background here.

Lots of assorted decay to appeal here - more trash than treasure? - but it's made for an intricate play of light on/through so many shapes.
