This looks like his royal hipness, Lord Buckley

mtmartini said 477 days ago:

For some reason I seem to think that I have seen this image before. I don't know.

I like the composition and just the overall feel, nice capture.

Tanja said 477 days ago:

great moment...and in my eyes deserves a feature! the guy looks old and the picture! very nice!

Ana said 477 days ago:

he has such an odd look on his face! happy, though!

SeekingFocus said 477 days ago:

5's straight across. First time this theme.

This is a beautifully composed and shot image. And incredibly uplifting to boot. Only a few minor things I might like to see touched up, but nothing major. Overall a very stunning work.

Lange said 477 days ago:

Very high quality! I suspect this will certainly be featured. I love the texture.

klimin_a_s said 477 days ago:

Very cool photo! High marks from me!

klimin_a_s said 477 days ago:

One more rating, and you photo will be featured (imho).

warreagle said 477 days ago:

makes me think of doc graham in field of dreams

psychodudu said 477 days ago:

This is great. Almost looks like an actor on a film set doing his thang...
I gave this high marks, by the way.

psychodudu said 477 days ago:

Seems like this will be the last feature of the theme UNLESS PEOPLE GET THEIR FINGERS OUT AND VOTE A LITTLE!!! Don't do this to me again people....

King said 477 days ago:

@psychodudu...you are not alone.

Great shot, Andy! Who is this guy?

guisboro said 477 days ago:

Thanks everybody for your comments.

Haven't a clue who he is. I took the shot a long, long time ago before digital started making any sort of impression. Haven't checked but was probably taken on hp5 at a guess.

It was taken on a trip to London, while wandering around speakers corner, and he was in the process of putting the world to rights.

Ana said 477 days ago:

@Andrew..... I've only *not rated 30 of the 125 posted so far...and I don't see you participating very much, and yet, here you are asking for ratings? Or maybe you just rate and don't comment?? (because I don't rate UNLESS I comment).
That said...this theme has been VERY SLOW MOVING. Took me days to get to 13 on two of my shots.
Not much can be done if no one is around.

King said 477 days ago:

@Andrew & Ana, et al. I just got the 13th & 14th rating on an image I posted Tuesday afternoon (it's Thursday morning here). I think Andrew's appeal may have helped--I didn't see it as a complaint. And who could complain about Ana's level of participation, anyway?

I'm off to see if there are any images out there that I've ignored, but need a few ratings.

Ana said 477 days ago:

..I'll have to disagree with you, King. Anderew's "statement" had a very negative connotation and implied that the members of WS were at fault for his lack of ratings, and yet he fails to reciprocate.
(Or maybe it's just the way Andrew has treated me, that makes me read it negatively.) Either way, good luck, mates.

King said 477 days ago:

@Ana...he's just British. One must make allowances.

psychodudu said 477 days ago:

No complaints! It was said with tongue in cheek. It's just my awful timing for putting out images! Nobody could complain about the level of participation for 90% of the contributors in WS, all are fairly active I think. I tend to rate alot and not comment. Like Vernon, I rarely rate AND comment before I post, but then I often spend time afterwards, commenting and rating. I'm not the best, I'll admit, but I'd like to think I'm about average. Ana, you *always* take things the wrong way anyway, so that's pot calling the kettle black saying that my statement had "negatve connotations".
Gosh, just look how far you got with your own thoughts without once waiting for any input from me. Talk about getting on your high horse....

psychodudu said 477 days ago:

Just a thought about participation. I presume we all have full-time jobs (travel 80 days a year), families, external responsibilities, blah, blah....

Ana said 477 days ago:

History repeats itself. Have we all forgotten this immature game you played on the work of TEN people in the windows and doors theme?

I do not have the ability to take you outside of the box you have placed yourself in, I'm sorry.

King said 477 days ago:

He's just British. One must make allowances.

psychodudu said 477 days ago:

I'm not getting drawn into this again, Ana. You like to have the last word, so you can have it. I admit I was a complete ass back then (and still am sometimes), but you don't get to sit there in your Ivory Tower and make judgements willy nilly. Just see how this converstaion has got out of hand because you want to understand and interpret things your way, and no other.

psychodudu said 477 days ago:

....and I'm British, so you HAVE to make allowances.

mtmartini said 477 days ago:

Here is the headline "A British Ass Admits Guilt" but one *must* make allowances, it has something to do with the accent I think. :-))
