Snapseed will work on a windows Computor if that is any help.

Great win Jeff, a great shot that got my vote. Funny enough when the theme came up I thought if only I was in London, the image works well in B & W and as for that moody sky well spot on!

I also liked the idea of DD's shot although I think this technique would have set it appart!

Thanks to kerbside, LaPistola, wil59 for my votes.

Up - Sabrina Old wheelbarrow wheel

Really nice idea and works really well however I think there are some great rustic colours and textures in that shot which could be enhanced in PP to bring them out more, a subtley processed HDR shot would have worked well in this situation. A great entry though.

JimboJumbo - Spare Wheels

Loads of wheels on this so bang on theme and works well in B & W the composition feels a little awkward on this, I think the issue for me is the motorbike being cut off at the back, also a bit of detail seems to have been lost in the shadows. I think a slightly wider angle shot and some adjustments to the exposure or B&W conversion would have helped here if that makes sense.

These are of course as always just my opinions

Oh and yes Jeff I am aware snapseed is on windows but was looking for an app to run on the phone TBH, I have a couple but they don't come close to snapseed, on my desktop I will use PS with plugins.

That's a good point. Not always being done and I agree, it's important and a benefit.

[DigiDiva]

My bad...I promise to do it tomorrow.

[Jimbojumbo]

Sorry peeps, manflu in the house this week...

Popular winner, well done, makes me want to go and have a ride


Up:
Well Used Pizza Cutter

Well composed in all honesty nothing seems wrong with this image for me, fits the theme well, I liked it but not as much as the one I voted for.

Down:
London Baby

Again well composed, the cloud patterning seems in conflict with each other but i am sure this is a natural effect you would see occasionally only an observation but that was my first thought. I would like to have seen the boat in full on the bottom left, I think the shades work really well specially the cars on the wheel, excellent picture well done, got my vote too.

[kerbside]

Jim, I can assure you that the clouds are as seen, no messing with them.

[Jimbojumbo]

Just was my initial thoughts the picture looks amazing Jeff

[Sabrina_De_Winter]

Congratulations Jeff, nice win. Did get my vote


Up: Retro C90

Nice picture, sharp, good colors. Nothing wrong with it in my eyes.

Down: Well Used Pizza Cutter

Also a nice picture. Only thing I would have done otherwise, is he blur. I would not have blurred the wheel, but that's just my taste...
