Competition rules said photo from 2018. NOT from the start of the announcement 4 weeks ago. And PREFERABLY with competition in mind. But you can't have a rule like that. It's like having a rule in football saying that the ball should PREFERABLY not be directed using the hands. The 'preferably' was not a rule, it was a suggestion that pics could be taken with the TB comp in mind, to show what we're capable of, and to promote TB, show it in a good light. The 2018 was so we'd see some fresh pics. 2018 began on 1st Jan.

Well since I spent hours tweaking this one (well ok, 3 minutes) here it is. Nostalgia for TD from the dark days of no colour. Well I don't think that would have won. I think it's an OK pic. It has balance and interest - note group of Wombles crossing bridge top right. The industrial signs add atmosphere. The verticals are vertical and the whole of the boat is shown from tip to tail. Composition, timing and lighting match nicely.

In my opinion there is little of interest in the picture, there is too much prominence of the foreground and making it black and white is just pretentious. If it was in colour it would be just another photo of a generic narrowboat.

Consistency is important. Anyway since you are a thick northerner and are incapable of reaching the location with your short fat boat, I’d probably better explain that it’s the Black Country Living Museum in the background. All stuff from the days of B&W photography so I was just making the photo contemporaneous. And black, like the museum. Probably too clever for you to get.

Oh I get it, I just think it's pretentious arty bollocks. Let's face it your subject matter was stationery yet you still couldn't get a good picture of it and had to try and make t look better by making it black and white.

However, as you are one who did not enter the real competition, thus helping to ensure its doom, you will never be able to vote either way for it. We will never know if it would have been a winner.

As your competition didn't happen there was no winner, I think by definition jenlyns was the "real" competition.

I was just voicing my opinion about your photo, my opinion is as valid as any one else's.

I shall spend it all on sweeties.

As we both know it’s nothing to do with the photo and everything to do with your hate filled long standing grudge against me because years ago I gave you some advice you didn’t want to hear. How very sad to have your life dominated by hate, anger and grudges. I feel very sorry for you.

No it's all about the photo, as can be seen from the posts your the one who has resulted to personal attacks, so I think it's you who are hate filled. I just think it's a boring pretentious photo, probably the worst effort I've seen in the comp this year so maybe you should get the wooden spoon?
