Interesting use of ICM. Some of these I like, some I don't, and therein lies the joy of art and diversity of taste.
The umbrellas in the last one create a "pop" that lifts the image, for me the best one.

Thanks Simon
Thanks Paul, yeah, I know it's a little bit out there...
Isn't it always the way? You post something and the next challenge is the one that it would fit best in
LOL, made me laugh, yeah, it's not for everyoneWell done for the genre. I don’t really get it but that’s not your fault
Thanks Kell, for sure but that just means I get to go out and wander the streets again.
Didn't even see that there,,,now I can't not see it there...Like the shot you chose, think the main subjects being a bit clearer works and like the lines on the canopy.
Not sure about the headless model on the RHS 4th? shot
Yeah, I liked that one myself, it has some layers that some of the others don't

Week #46 Urban Life
After the downtown party
Robson Square in front of the Art Gallery. they hang festive lights in the winter. I saw this couple and they look so happy and then in post I noted that I had caught the oncoming lady perfectly between them...I like it when a good plan comes together...
I've shot this building so many time but I'm kind of liking this perspective with the lines and the pole:
Extra security on Granville Street:
I was going for a capture of the two workers on the way to the Skytrain station. It wasn't until post that I saw the other guy smiling at me...
The gates leading down to the train:

Week #47 Key(s)
So three, kind of, shoehorns for this week:
My thought is that homonyms are good as a submission, so, with that in mind, I went to Lonsdale Quay and shot this:
And then there is the ultimate purpose for any key:
And, of course, I had to process an image as High Key:

Good set there Bill, especially the quay shot, that was also on my list but the only problem was there are no quays anywhere near us .
IIRC we have seen a wider shot of the padlocks before, just being curious is that a memorial in the foreground of the first shot

Thanks Paul!
Thanks Dave, I was planning to go out to the quay anyways. "I love it when a plan comes together"Three fab shots Bill. 'Quay' was my backup plan if the 'A Minor Key' didn't come off
You know...I had to look closely at the shot to see what you were talking about. I didn't even realize that there was a plaque there. I'll have to take a look the next time that I go.Good set there Bill, especially the quay shot, that was also on my list but the only problem was there are no quays anywhere near us

The first time that I said the word out loud, I pronounced it "kway" and everyone laughed...

Week #48 Abstract
When I saw the theme I thought of a shot that I took of bamboo using ICM. When I got it into LR and played with it a bit, it made me think of sand dunes. So...here you go;
The Surf:
Flowing Grass:
Trees on Fire:
The Blue Horizon:
Evening Falls on the Field:
The Restless Sea:
All of these are macro shots of moss or tall grass stalks. Processed in LR and then rotated to a landscape aspect.

Gorgeous images there Bill, they are beautiful!
Those lovely gentle pastel colours are magnificent, and rotating them to create your own land and seascapes. WOW! I like your selected but the last one of shimmering evening light on a calm sea is my favorite.

Week 49 High Contrast
It was a bit of a crap shoot as to what I'd come up with this week. I went out expecting to maybe capture some high contrast graffiti, and I did but it wasn't I ended up picking as my submission...
I shot a breakdance battle on Saturday and got this shot of my son (who is a breaker) wearing a t-shirt with a picture of his girlfriend's dance group. I think that it turned out well.
And then I went out today and got these:
This one from the Stadium Skytrain station (where I got off)
My one graffiti submission:
I shoot this office tower often but I don't know if I've ever captured the structure leading down to the underground parking before. I really liked how the light washed out the tower but kept the tree so contrasty
And then the tower from another angle with the reflections of other towers in the windows
Walking futher I saw this guy standing there perfectly framed in sunlight with his shadow stretching out behind him
And, of course, I had to throw in a multi-exposure shot of the Skytrain station on my way home...

Yes, good set, my pick would be the tower through the tree, many contrasting aspects
