Thursday Spotlight #17

By Editor Peter Davidson
Edited and published by Yvette Depaepe, the 7th of november 2024



We are introducing a new feature specifically for those shots that have been overlooked by our many mysterious and secretive curators for an Award.

Each Thursday, one shot from the current gallery of Published (but not Awarded) images will be displayed here in the Magazine. We hope you enjoy the images chosen and the authors gain some much improved visibility of their work. And who knows, whisper it softly, maybe one of these shadowy curators might have a softening of their cold dark hearts and even Award the image...

Currently the UK is sitting under a high pressure system that is giving us nothing but light breezes and grey, dull skies. On the flip side, this soft dull light allows the autumn colours to light up the greyness in vivid contrast. Nika has found a lovely calm setting (maybe not in the UK, but you get my point) for just such an autumnal scene and photographed it beautifully. And for once, it's a scene without any obligitory cyclist or dog walker in sight. Bliss. Maybe our shadowy overlords of the esthetic decided there should be one in the scene and hence declined the image an award. If that's the case, then I think that's a shame. Well done Nika!

A very nice photo. Not over edited, but processed just right. A nice leading line to the bright opening at the curve of the road. Well done.

A very nice decorative photograph in my opinion. Nika, your craftsmanship is evident. Peter, I like the way you write . . . . "shadowy overlords of the esthetic" !! You have a way with words. I appreciate the concept, and look forward to this feature every week. Thank you.

I love the image. Almost pictural. The colors are wonderful. The road creates some perspective. There is calm and warm mood. Nice.

An excellent initiative, I think it will allow for the recognition of important and interesting photos that might have simply gone unnoticed in such a large space.
