Taps and Faucets

A bright and breezy image ….. love the vibrancy, the simplicity and the near symmetry broken only by that naughty plug and chain.

For such a simple image this really does make for very pleasing viewing ……. congratulations on your top ten placing.

This is precisely why I became an eminent brain-surgeon and not a plumber!

There’s a lovely balance to this image and like the first placed entry it tells a story. I’m not quite sure what the story is but that’s half the fun of it.

The bird does indeed look angry, is he expecting the tap to be dripping water for a drink or is he just plain grumpy anyways?

Either way it’s an interesting and entertaining image and well worthy of a top ten placing.

A very striking image this and I immediately saw a face when looking at it. Two eyes, a golden nose and a grumpy mouth. Hopefully other people can see the face too? That or I’m off to the funny farm.

Well done on your Turkish face tap :)

Now that is a weird tap but it’s beautifully photographed.

Everything is sharp where it matters, the subtle shadows add depth and the background is not only nicely blurred but also a most complementary colour.

Well done on your top ten placing.

Oh please, someone turn that tap on :)

Can you tell that I don’t lIke pigeons?

Simplicity is the key here and once again the high contrast monochrome presentation really does suit the subject matter.

The curve of the under shelf shadow forms a subtle vignette and all in all this is just a very pleasing image.

Well done on your top ten placing.

You’ve managed to turn an old stop-cock and bit of green hose into a work of art. Which in my opinion takes some doing.

Well done on a most creative entry ……

This image has probably got the smallest tap out of all the entries in the contest but the tap, the girl and the dripping water tell a story and I do so like photographs that tell tales.

Reading your description there was an element of luck in you and the girl being in the right place at the right time, but honestly, if you’d planned the shot then you couldn’t have got a better expression or composition.

Well done on a fine photograph and first placing ……

Such a simple picture is this, just a plain old tap and a single drop of water but photographed in a very creative way.

I really do like that low viewpoint and extremely shallow depth of field to concentrate attention on the drop of water.

A lovely image …… well done.

Oh but I love this image, and your image title too.

It’s colourful and funny but also very convincingly put together. Someone should however tell the little boy that bikini tops do not make the best of parachutes :)

Great fun and congratulations on your top ten placing.
