    WINNER ANNOUNCED 31st Serious Compacts Salon Challenge - PAUSE

    OK well thanks @Luke . Before I begin two things: 1. I hope all is well with Milan, @pictogramax has been a steady presence around these parts and so his sudden disappearance is not that usual. Please check back in with us mate. 2. I've never judged, nor watched, one of these Salon Challenges...

    Seriously Karen I need to get to Scotland. And fear not, I am coming to stalk you - though a coffee might be nice ;) - but it must be a wondrously dark and foreboding place, full of mystery and intrigue. Your images portray this sense so powerfully.

    Something about this image, that I really, really like. Can't quite put my finger on why but I think it has to do with the feeling of nostalgia - maybe of the memories of what that figure meant to a young child? Either way, thanks for sharing.

    Leica Any reason to consider an M8 in 2016?

    Yeah not a bad little portfolio there!...though I think the lenses might have a little something to do with it too ;) ....I need the prices to come down a fraction more on the M8s. Once they're in the 1K zone I think I might strike.
