Hobbies

What wouldn't we do to get that perfect shot we're after!!! Everybody who has taken up photography as hobby knows only too well about the hard work often required and the patience - not to forget the dedication. Great photo, as it all boils down to just the camera and the photographer, whatever else is happening around.

Just look at all the fiddley little bits!!! Definitely a hobby for people with patience and calm hands. I'm glad that you entered this very close-up image into the contest, as this way the viewer can really appreciate the difficult and painstaking task of assembling such models. A hobby for people who like solitary work, without disturbance by anyone else.

Thank you for entering this lively image from an English village square. It stands for all people around the globe who love to celebrate their tradition and culture through music and dance. This becomes an essential part of the social life, not just a hobby which is attended to in your spare time.

This image reminds me of a number of family members and friends who are all committed knitters or/and crocheters. No idle sitting down for a chat or watching the TV - the wool and needles have to come out and the hands kept busy! I am so glad you've entered this image as it surely represents the 'knitting fraternity' very well. I don't dare call this a 'still life'!!

OMG - what a stunningly beautiful image! The b/w really enhances the emotional and atmospheric impact of the scene. For many dedicated fishing enthusiasts, it isn't just about the fishing, but the escape from everyday life. Seeking solitude in nature, recharging yourself is a very important part of this popular hobby. You couldn't have captured this any better than with this image and I congratulate you for being my winner.
