I love a grainy night sky, especially supported by a raft of masts.

You're playing with my mind! But that's fine, it needs the exercise! Very well controlled grain that adds a certain dignity somehow and well framed too.

Very pleasing, and enhanced by the grain. Voted earlier.

Lovely evening light and nice quality of grain, Nicky.

Lovers Bay

I'm not sure that I'd describe what I am seeing here as "grain" but it's an interesting texture. Nice composition and light.

California "Rain"

Yes, I am transported there. Love the textures and colors, and the sense of movement.

Monster

Paul, lovely shot, great tones. I gave it a 9. Is the camera rotated/moved as well? I can't image this much cat dog movement captured in 1/140, although perhaps if you were very close.

Miami Condo

Cory, I was meandering through DPC abstracts and was rewarded by finding this. Thank you. Such a wonderful image. A really fine piece of art. Great lines and colors. My appreciation was heightened ever further by reading docpjv's description...

I love the great expanse of sky. Great way to meet the challenge. Also a lovely fresh feel like it's just finished raining... (would be interesting to find out later). Bump.

Widecombe in the moor

Lovely capture of this Devonshire scene, with the transition to moorland, perfect for a portrait orientation. I spent most of my childhood in the West Country and my parents retired to the village of Dittisham not far from here. I always loved going back. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather like this in mid-October when I'll be back to visit my brother and his family!
