Wini (72) from Germany pictured here looking fresh, 3 Days after Winning his Age Group in his 17th Lanzarote Ironman Triathlon, (the Worlds Toughest Ironman), He has completed 50 Ironman distance Triathlons in total !

Love this one, well done , great portfolio overall also, you know your B/W !!

Hi all you Guys, Many thanks for all the Comments, First time one of my Shots generated so many Comments,

Adrienne, Good on ya, Well spotted !!!

Catherine/ Antonio, I'm 5ft 9ins only, Brenda is probably 5ft and the focal length of 17mins probably suggests I'm taller !!!

Philip, Thanks for that suggestion re ; B/W etc, I'm going to give that a bash,

Have to great Nite tonite , be safe and Best Wishes for 2011

I know also, there is Lens Flare, through the Image ! But I'm not too worried about it, and don't believe cloning it out etc, as I'd probably ruin it !

This old Lady Brenda King, feeds the Ducks, Swans Geese etc at the

Lough, Cork City, when the Weather is very Cold, and The Lough is iced

over, I'm wondering is the Image compostion possibly too Good !!!, i.e

the formation of the Geese is really too good to be realistic ??, and

maybe they look as if they are not Real, and just placed there !! had to

crop off the Sky as it was totally burned out, Thanks for taking a look

and Best Wishes for 2011, John

Many thanks Bettie, I have to admit the metallic effect a bit over the top alright, thanks for your Comments, John

Denis, West Cork Farmer

Thanks for stopping to take a Look

Wel done, great natural looking Hdr, Lots of them look fakish, but this is spot on, Is it via Photomatix, Great PORTFOLIO also !!! Jojm 

Ryanair arriving at Cork Airport on the 11th Jan. 2010, after Snow had

closed the Airport for the first time ever,

Thanks for taking a look, John

This is my favourite of the bunch , well done

Well done, Piotr, very nice indeed, it is a HDR converted to a B/W, which methods did you use, the sky looks a bit HDRy anyway,

 Prefer to the original one of the Two, Thats my opinion, Magie Noire I guess suggests a Black mysterious Character and I reckon the Original Version compliments this Title, Anyway well done, wicked Shot and an Awesome Portfolio, One Day I might take  Portraits like these !!  ,  John, Ireland

pick of the landscape bunch by a long way, well done

Yes, have to agree best of the bunch by far

think this is Kenmare Co Kerry and not Kinsale !!

Great Work, really love this one ., well done 7/7 from me

Thanks for taking a Look, We did n't get a decent Sunny Day since here

in Ireland !!! John

Can't make up my mind on this Image, Sky is burned out I know but

overall Its kinda alright !! I suppose, Thanks for taking a look anyway,

John
