Nice shot Simon, Shame you didn't win as that would have been the icing on the cake.
Nice interpretation there and great sharpness and clarity on those middle coins
Like that, good dof in there. Shame you didn't win!

Money - Not on spreadsheet yet so i nearly missed it.
Good idea, particularly the betting slips as these introduce some different colours. Perhaps more of the front areas could be a little more in focus
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I also won a darts trophy that was more luck than talent. Thanks mandy
Nice shot that, I would be tempted to concentrate on 1 trophy though. Liking the reflections on the front one.
Works well with both trophies IMO but either needs a bit of levelling or they've had a hard life
Donnie said:I like that shot, works nice with the depth of field, I wonder though if the light could have been a little more diffused as it's a little blown out in parts?
Donnie said:Im not surprised as it's always difficult with anything reflective.
Just looking again and 2 things stand out.
1. I'm assuming that it was natural window light and I'm wondering if a white bedsheet might have been enough to diffuse it a little more?
2. Just noticed the Denton and Audenshaw on the near trophy, the Mrs is from Denton! LOL.
Hi Simon catch up time for me again
Handmade i'm going with the colour one as well, it really pops,
Money - bang on theme and well taken
Win - nicely on theme and i like it with the 2
like your Win, works well with both. Still struggling on what to do!!!
I think it works well with 2 trophies and I like the lighting on the front one all except the reflection at the top,
Back one is just a tad blown which pulls your eye to it.
The inspiration for my entry so what can I say? Great shot as it is.
:1st:
Hi Simon
Liking your shot for WIN.... good use of DOF , always difficult with reflective surfaces so thing you've done well not having too many highlights....good work mister
'Shiny' - nice work Simon. I like the droplets of water on the cans and good focal length too to compress the subject. Only comment I have is I may have been inclined to focus on the first can ? - jury is still out on that one. At least your still in the game and well beaten your efforts last year
Shiny
Nice shot Simon, on theme but i would have liked to see a better DoF.
