Egidio leads on this weeks Lens-Artists Challenge with the topic – Over the Top or OTT. We’re free to post anything we consider to fit the theme and my selection are mostly from our travels outside of the UK. So here goes…
Thank you to Egidio for hosting. As Egidio mentioned in his post, I’m honoured to have been asked to host next weeks challenge. I’m looking forward to that and I’ve had a little insight into how hard our regular hosts work to think up and run these challenges every week. I was glad to take the challenge on and a bit nervous at the same time. However, I’ve had good advice from the team so, I’ll see you all with my challenge next week.

Very fun and eclectic collection Steve. I especially like the VW bug, one eyed woman, and pirates. Who knew there were so many olive choices!
Thank you Brad 🙂
Great series of images, Steve. You’ve really nailed the subject. Congratulations on being selected as a guest host for next week, couldn’t have happened to a nicer chap and will be interesting to see what you Challenge everyone with (so no pressure 😉).
Thank you for those kind words Keith. I’m particularly looking forward to your response to next weeks challenge – no pressure 🙂
I’ll see what I can do. We’re on holiday at the moment, so making posts with the phone is not that easy. (Excuses, excuses.)
A wonderful collection, Steve! My favorite photo is the pirates, but that girl with the wonky eye is hilarious. I’m looking forward to your challenge post next week.
Thank you John. Those Pirates were good fun 🙂
Steve, there is so much OTT in this post. Your collection is fantastic. I liked them all, but the olives, the poses, and the stands are classic OTT images.
Thank you Egidio. I’ve given up waiting for people to move on from any of those sites with attract the selfie shots. I just photograph them as well these days 🙂
Oh my goodness Steve, your post this week was so much FUN! Your opening image especially made me smile although all are wonderful.
Thank you Tina 🙂
I want that crazy car! And I can’t even drive. I never saw happier pirates. Perhaps I should join them instead xx
Ha, ha. You’ll need to source a parrot if you want to be a proper pirate 🙂
I’m sure I can borrow one for the day xx
Brilliant! You showed me OTT that is not wealth related. The selfie shots are my favourites, they really belong here 😀
Thank you Sophie
The whimsical bug is the best!
It’s one of my favourites as well 🙂
Amazing collection from you again, very inspired. I enjoy taking photos of people taking selfies, there are some really OTT
Thank you Ritva 🙂
You’ve certainly embraced the “over the top” theme! So many clever and hilarious choices, and this scene with the cans and the lonely sun lounger is a perfect example. I had a good laugh going through your post, great job Steve!😄
Thank you Anita 🙂
Steve, your selection of pictures are really Over The Top – Great Job!!!
Thank you Sylvia 🙂
