The Letter 'E'

I’ve selected this image for its originality. A bit of creative thinking has produced a capital ‘E’ from some envelopes with an imaginative title. I cannot imagine such a composition fitting the brief of any other contest, so I would like to thank you for making a special effort here. Thinking ‘outside the box’ is a good way to be noticed and it worked.

I assume that this is a cast drain cover (which are usually round) and it would be nice to know what the significance of the ‘E’ was. It may have been tempting to clean up the cover before capturing this shot but that would have removed the little extra bits that provide interest.

Typewriters are becoming a distant memory, having been overtaken by the digital age, so there should be little surprise that there were no other entries like this. The clever mirroring of the key helps make it clear that the letter to be imprinted is what it is, whilst the remaining visible keys disappear in a wonderful bokeh of bronze tones. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to create this different image. Like the key, the image has impact. So much so, that it gains my first placing. Well done, indeed!

I like the arrangement of the collection of letters in this ‘still life’ image and there is a bonus of an amusing title. The autumnal tones are attractive and my attention was drawn to it because it differed from the rest.

How could I fail not to be struck by this ‘spooky’ image? The witch has a mischievous look about her, nicely silhouetted against a dramatic sky, whist the “E” of the weathervane conveniently stands out from the remaining compass points.

How do you make a common Scrabble tile interesting? By changing the angle and showing it at table level like this. I’m always pleased by those who submit an image with a title that’s less than a simple description but I’m struggling to appreciate what this one is about.

This stunning image invites curiosity. I’m wondering where the worker is suspended from and how they control their position. Also what they are ‘up’ to. There is an interesting collection of equipment and materials hanging from their belt and I’m wondering if one may even contain refreshments as they could be up there for some time…

Wood grain is always an interesting subject and there is plenty to admire on the surface of this door. Not only that, but the ornate hinge provides the opportunity to present it as an ‘E’ and meet a broad but difficult brief. Well done.

I was not surprised to find such a large number of contributors using Scrabble letters in their images. But an image can be made to stand apart by its title. Thank you for using imagination in the title as well as the composition.

Why not look any further than the keyboard in front of you? By cleverly blurring the surrounding keys, the ‘E’ is clearly the subject of this image. It meets the brief and stands out for its originality. Thank you for entering.

There is a story to tell here and I assume that it is of an old enamelled ‘Shell’ sign that has since become the target of a firearm. The striking colours were chosen to make this sign stand out and that still works and the ‘patina of life’ adds extra interest to a subject that meets the brief well. Such a shame that the contributor could not come up with a title for it.
