If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Pic of the week game

Thanks, Bob for the vote and for groupong these shots together. I'm a bit sleepy and trying to wean off of coffee. Tea just doesn't cut it. I had to hit up the Keurig before leaving for work. Now that I have a belly full of burrito and the java jitters it's time to lay some tile. Oh, and vote here of course.

Kerry's shot is a bit dark but I like the scene and sunset.

Kerrfunk for me this week.
 
I think I recall seeing other pic of your bike parked in the towncenter park.

I can imagine some old town folk seeing you park bike there and walk back to take pic.
"Hey, isnt that guy the pastor there? The new young guy?"
"Yah, Have seen him do that before."
LOL, yes, I did park the bike there for the "Perspective" photo, that's right. Ha.

I'm in for Rich for a panoramic in the particularly unique setting in the middle of a covered bridge.
 
Obviously speaking only for myself, this is the best bunch of entries ever. Well done, guys.
Kerrfunk gets my vote this week.
 
This week's has got to be one of the hardest to decide on. Such great pics. Due to a coin toss, I am going to vote for Burque73.
 
I guess it's time for the vote... The covered bridge, in my opinion, is a great perspective shot. I have to go with Kerry's this week though, as that is just a beautiful scene...
 
Motorcycling and panos go hand in hand. So many nice pictures this week. I'm left jealous as I haven't been riding at all this year.

I'm a big fan of Waterton Park. There was a huge fire that ripped through there two years ago, and it is nice to see some of it from a perspective that makes it look pristine. The entrance to the area is amazing.


Such a tough call, but I'm voting for Burque73's shot this week. The positioning of the gazing eyes is on point.
 
I'm going to be the odd man out and vote for jabcb. While it may not be the most picturesque image here, the curve of the road, the opposing angle of the parked cars, and the GT in the corner of the image flow nicely.

..... One of those GTs is on my bike bucket list, and that one is beautiful.
 
I'm voting for Redman. Love his creative use of the tools at hand to get the results he wanted.
 
Well it may be unorthodox but it's Friday night, I'm about to go to bed, and Saturday the family and I are going to be gone all day, so...

jabcb, redman, rich, 1 each
burque, 3
kerrfunk, 6

8 submissions, 12 votes.

Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly concede if there are four more votes for Roger, but if there aren't...

...Make me laugh! Or at least make me smile. That's the theme I would choose.

 
I just looked at my pic on my tablet (larger image). Yikes, the quality is awful to the point of looking like the bike was added in Photoshop. Its not.. That was 2016. Not sure if it was an older phone pic or the old digital point and shoot.

Ive yet to actually visit Grounds For Sculpture, but want to. Local buisnesses and public areas in the vicinity have allowed them to place sculptures on their property as advertising. This was one such case. That building in the background has since been razed, so I dont know if the molar is still there or not.

Dang! Cows roam freely over there? That's one heck of a road hazard. At least theres no brush for them to hide in.
