Cycling Photo Challenge - the current challenge

[User169]

Apologies for the delay. Inspired by these bikes I saw recently pulled out of a canal...

The theme is “In need of some TLC”.

Closing date - Jan 31st.

The photo needs to have a bike in it, but not necessarily your own.

Entries should be taken within the time limit.

Apologies for being a bit of a useless photo winner, but the winner is this one from @BlueDog

I think this old farm building on the Mendips is probably beyond receiving some TLC! View attachment 390239

It's one of those photos that really makes me want to jump on my bike.

Over to you BlueDog....

 

[BlueDog]

Ah, thank you @DP. I’d taken many photos over recent months and I must admit it was as one of my favourites too.

I was going to suggest a new theme relating to Spring, but it might be slightly too early for that, so the next theme will simply be; nature.

Hopefully that’s not too broad but will give everyone the opportunity to join in. Closing date end of March.

Good luck!

@Katherine Ah, sorry for the delay (I was too busy enjoying my reign as the supreme ruler of all photo judges).

I have to say that this has proven far more difficult than I thought it would be as I think they all great and special. So to narrow it down a bit, I decided to go for a sub-topic that has affected us all over the past month and one which many of us will remember for a very long time to come.... snow.

It was therefore a choice between @Rickshaw Phil, @MossCommuter and @Dave 123 (not the bird poo one Dave). I liked all of these, not just because they are all great photos, but because they were all out there making the most of it and having [hopefully] having some great fun.

So without further ado... the winner for the biggest pile of snow that typified it for so many, goes to..... @Rickshaw Phil

Taking on what nature has thrown at us the last few days:

Right, I've had a think and your next challenge is; Bridges.

One we've had before I know, but it should be one that works for everyone. I give you until the end of April and usual rules apply: all photos taken after the challenge is set, must include a bike or part of.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Lots of great entries again making this a very difficult choice as everyone has submitted a picture that I liked for one reason or another this time.

Special mentions go to: @ADarkDraconis and @MossCommuter for their atmospheric night shots, @TeeShot for the view from Monsal Head, @Katherine for the canal lighthouse and @BlueDog for the one before climbing the Cheddar Gorge.

The one that really appealed to me though was this from @Dave 123:

Sunshine, water, punts. A lovely scene.

So @Dave 123, over to you.

 

[Dave 123]

Well thank you very much @Rickshaw Phil. The sunshine is but a distant memory!

Right....the next theme will be REFLECTIONS.

As ever, at least a portion of bike needs to be in the picture. Closing date 31st May 2018.

 

[Dave 123]

Ladies and gentlemen,

After a fab night watching Stereophonics I thought I'd announce the winner before I go to bed tonight.....

Thanks to all who took part.

So, I have no rEGRETS in announcing this photo of the grey heron by @PeteXXX as the worthy winner

Over to you then....

 

[PeteXXX]

Thanks for a fun competition @Dave 123 I am honoured, thank you

The photograph I’d like to see, for this challenge, shall be: Your bike, or part there of, through a hole of some description.

Judgement day will be the last day of June.

 

[PeteXXX]

Decision time..

Some imaginative photographs, folks!

Mentioned in dispatches are @Katherine and @biggs682 for the above entries, and welcome back into the comp. @GM, but the winner this time is.... drum roll @Threevok for this wheels within a wheel pic.

 

[Threevok]

Wow I won ????
Thanks so much

Sorry for the delay - I have been away

I take it it's my turn to pick a theme ?

Looking at mine - I think "industry theme - past or present"

Usual rules apply - must include bike ,pic must be taken within competition time frame, etc

Closing date will be 31st July

Good luck peeps

 

[Threevok]

OK people, it was a very hard one to judge, but after much deliberation - the winner is @User9609 with this

Congratulations

I am not sure how you get that "Photo Winner" thing under your name - is it a mod thing anyone ?

 

[PeteXXX]

Inspired by my foraging, and the onset of autumn, the theme will be ‘Leaves’ as in a leaf, or multiples there of.

Closing date is the last day of September 2018.

Usual rules apply.

 

[PeteXXX]

Thanks for the entries, folks. A decision has been made.

@Katherine

@User9609

Mentioned in dispatches are @User9609 and @Katherine for the two photographs above.

But the winner this time is @Dave 123 for the Snail Begonia leaves, (and bike). Lovely pic!

 

[Dave 123]

Well thank you very much @PeteXXX

This edition is entitled 'hip hip hooray'
Clearly there is plenty of scope here, so come on, get snapping!
As ever, a portion of your bike needs to be in the picture.
