Moderator, if not considered in spirit, please delete. Thanks. Ed.

Is everything working with this site at the moment? For some reason it doesn't seem to work when I try to upload any photos this month, and I notice that nobody else has uploaded any yet? Nearly two weeks in and not a single image posted - a bit strange?

I thought maybe it was the type of contest for the month - I was not sure if there was not interest in this particular theme.

I had a lot of trouble uploading these images, but it seems to have worked this morning so assume the trouble was at my end. Another couple to come later.

This one was done in adobe camera RAW by moving the sliders around. Quite heavily manipulated, but all done before getting to Photoshop.

First one, to me, over cooked, did the middle one start out as B&W?. Eyes right!! Ed.

Love the eye, Yaterman!

Yaterman, I was looking at the pics on old 7" Tablet, Desktop was acting up. I see the crane was color, now I am back on Desktop. Apologies.
The street has great potential, is it far from you.

First of all, I would like to say thank you to all of you who submitted photos for the May contest! I appreciate the entries we received for the monthly contest.

I would like to congratulate Yaterman on photo number three as the winner! The before and after eyes have it this month!

We look forward to seeing more members' entries in the months to come! I posted the new contest for June a few minutes ago, so we are looking forward to seeing your best photo shots!

The Eye's have it, well done. Ed.
