SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - June 2012

[Lamb Root]

Luis, your superior shots need no further presentation. Amazing!

I too agree that this photo own certain je ne sais quoi. It's much more than representation of SOTD tools. It's kinda storytelling and a mystique too. Very retro, very nice. I like it a lot.

Fantastic arrangement, sharp details, gorgeous pic! Outstanding, Keith!

Thanks Marco.

[Lamb Root]

Love the reflection.....can never have too much Villoresi IMO. It rates very highly in my book!

Ivan, Soren and Balaji, three Masters and three Masterpieces! Wonderful, my friends!

Thank ye both kind Sirs, and yes Mr Villoresi does have golden hands when it comes to preparing fragrances.

[Dr Dulcamara]

Success, Dr. Dulcamara.....a pic without colour! And a mighty fine one it is too!

Thank you very much. Can I post pictures this week in sepia, or black and white only? I think sepia also falls within the category, but I need confirmation, David, please.

No real rules in the SOTD so it's entirely up to you.

Of course you can. The themed weeks I introduced about one year ago are for more fun only, you are no way forced to follow them. All pictures are always welcomed. And, to answer your question directly, sepia pics do fall in this category.

[Dr Dulcamara]

Thanks Marco and David. I'll try.
Marco, on my picture today, Italian pencils, exceptional quality, Vittorio Martini 1866, ha ha.

Luis, when I'm older I want to take pictures like you, ha ha. Thanks for showing us the way forward.

(Luis, cuando yo sea mayor quiero hacer fotos como tú, ja, ja. Gracias por enseñarnos el camino a seguir.)

Superb close-up, Matt! I originally sold my MdC, but I missed it so much, I had to buy another! Great soap, great shave!

Thank you, David. MdC is my favorite.

Till, if your are looking for another boar, the Semogue Owners Club is a must. It is my favourite. You had a busy day then yesterday! Thorpe Park must have been packed, what with the school half term and holiday! The river pagaent was incredible on Sunday, just a shame the rain didn't hold all for the duration.
