And now we'll attract all those feeling offended on behalf of all those belittled Egyptians for the insulting portrayal of their way of walking..! Cheers..!

[Chiliwailer]

Really enjoyed listening the entries

[Mornats]

What a great bunch of tunes. Another high scoring month (I rate each track out of ten).

[Dad3353]

I've always found that a little bit intriguing; five voters have cast fourteen votes. Perfectly legitimate, of course (voting is not [i]yet [/i]obligatory...), but it seems that, every month, someone decides that there are less than three pieces worthy of note. Maybe there's another explanation..? Dunno; just seems odd to me, that's all.

[Mornats]

I wonder if a few voters think they've only got one vote.

[Dad3353]

Arithmetic tells me that, if that were the case, others have chosen more than three..!

[Mornats]

Arithmetic was never my strong point

[lurksalot]

I think that the vote button on mine might have an intermittent glitch , maybe that's why there are a few votes short

[MoonBassAlpha]

Tell me about it!

Sorry, 'twas I. I felt two stood out above all the others this month. Nothing to do with bad arithmetic.

Phew..! Thanks for that. No worries, no-one is obliged to vote for three; I just found it odd, and pretty well every month. I'll get back to thinking about important stuff, then. As you were, men; nothing to see here.

I've voted but hadn't commented. There was two I really liked and a couple of others jostling for third. I have no doubt that there's at least three worth voting for. I'm really impressed at the standard of entry month after month, considering the brief.
And it shows me that there is something muscular about composition. It's not just lightning-struck inspiration, but something you can improve at by doing it repeatedly.
...or, at least, I hope one can improve..

Which one ?

[Dad3353]

If not already done, don't forget to cast a glance at the ...

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/309783-august-2017-photo-comp"]August 2017 Photo Comp...[/url]

... and vote for your three favourite photos. The result is very close at the moment; all votes count..!
The subject this month was 'Architecture', which inspired many different shots ...

Edit: Voted, of course, both here and for the photo comp. Basschat has many talented folks contributing to these topics, I say.

I've voted over there as well

[MoonBassAlpha]

Very hard to split the top 5 for me. Mine and one other at a lower level of execution. Well done to the rest of you!

[Mornats]

Congrats! It was a superb piece.

[lowdown]

Yes, very well done Xgsjx (and everyone else, of course).

[xgsjx]

Thanks guys n gals.

There was a lot of great entries this month & I think any could easily have won. But I'm chuffed.

I've messaged Dad a pic, so hopefully it gives you all some good inspiration.

If I'd voted on time, it wouldn't have changed the results. The consistently high standard makes me envious (in a nice way of course). Well done all.
