This is a little less dramatic than the other two shots of the same name that I've put up (here and here), but I thought that this one better suited a more subdued treatment.
On another matter: I'll update as and when I can next week, but don't expect something every day. At the moment we have a lot of things going on that are devouring our time, our efforts, and our patience. If we're lucky the two major issues we're dealing with will be resolved by Tuesday – and if they are, I'll tell you – but until then (or whenever it turns out to be) we're operating somewhat less than optimally.

I never 'tyre' of these ;-) 135 had it's first portrait outing today - have to say it's every bit as good as the reviews.
comment byGeoff at 10:54 PM (GMT) on 2 December, 2006
hmm... I'm not as convinced as Jennifer. It's like a shot I've seen here once too many times. In isolation I'd probably like it more, but for me, this one is a little too chromasia if you know what I mean.

Excellent shot. I'd hate to have the car that lost the wheel. ;)
ok so its a great shot, and a very fitting picture for this weeks WEEKLYSHOT.ORG entry - "the end" - wack it in!!!

I prefer this more subdued version to the other two end of the road shots.

Awesome shot!

Wishing not to tread on your toes, I hope that you are not trying to re-mould your approach by re-tyring for the week! There is plenty of mileage left in producing lovely images! It would be sandy missed by us all!
Great image, Mal

The curved sweep of the sand and the juxtaposition of the sand and tyre textures - eye-catching image.

wow this is a great photo , was this done through duo-tone effect? : )

Firstly, I noticed that all three tyres are different, so I was wondering, do you have a selection you take out with you when you go on a shoot, I believe you're short a good winter tyre there, Dave....
Secondly, this latest one, imho, is missing more detail on the tyre, but of the three images is, definitely my fave. I think it's the harmony between the edge of the tyre and the horizon. Btw, nothing wrong with being "too Chromasia" that's who you are, dude!

I agree entirely with Mikes comment. Nature has the amazing abilty to create wonderfully subtle and sensual lines.. and you Dave, have caught them delightfully. The contrasting textures, man-made and natural, compliment each other in a most interesting way.

I never tyre of looking at your images

I love it. I like it when a photographer gets down and dirty for a photo.

i like it. it has the staple "chromasian" feel to it.
I pray all is well with you and your family and that tuesday brings good news.

Mundane object beautifully shot

Very nice tones in this shot! And i like the dark sky.
Thanks everyone :-)
Like this one. It has great tones and contrast. Well seen.
Nice work shifting mundane->visual interest.
I think it looks a bit contrived - sorry to be negative
This is just great! I love how the sand creates a, well ... a wave, if you wish. Stunning!
I like this one than the other two..
