love your value shot Alan - the beautifullness of the script - not normally associated with a mathematical text but works really well, the value of pi is clear here, probably one of the more valuable mathematical discoveries.
composition, spelling, accuracy and lighting all spot on for me
Hi Alan
love that glow under the plate...& Tate n Lyle golden syrup...yum yum...the little bit of oofness adds to the shot ( for me anyway) as it seems to add to the tackiness of the syrup whilst trying to remove your finger from it
Hi Alan
I like that, a bit tight on the left but other than that I like the shine to the plate and the general lighting
), looking back on your weeks so far, your moving tram, sparkly ball and the wild weather at the sea-front really stand out as exceptional shots... would you have taken them if you weren't doing the 52??
being hyper critical if I had to be I'd maybe crop it to just above the drawn circle ? 
Hahaha, I saw this and burst out
Greed indeed.
Top marks
PS. that was last weeks theme btw. :rules:
Cuppa tea and a huge pile of biscuits, greedy bu**er.
No-one liked greed Alan, (maybe except Brian
If not, then there's three really good reasons to keep at it.
Your comments around the other threads are also much appreciated too.
Hi Alan
I keep going back to your image for Value.....that pen...stunning in it's own right but it really does stand out off the page ,like you could pick it up.....the writing , the angle , the nearly but not quite white paper......all superb...
Greed...I think many of us struggled with this one but I do love your humour towards it....needs to be dark chocolate hobnobs though :nuts:
Hi Alan, greed is nice and simple works great. The slippers are a nice touch.
Nice straight biscuit pile there and lovely slippers, nice take on the theme which I agree was a bit meh
Very nice angles shot. I prefer the 2nd crop
Hi Alan, apologies, haven't commented in a wee while
Your value image is fantastic IMHO, its well lit, the composition works well and there's lots of detail in there to hold the viewers attention. Its one of those which grabbed me, and made me work out how it fitted the theme (a good thing). The writing in itself is very artisitic and appealing too.
Greed, not a great theme at all coming so soon after gluttony but you've nailed it despite that
Thats a lot of biscuits to be dunking in your tea
It tells a little story, paints a mental picture, again a good thing.
SP? ish
Angles, my vote goes to #1, I feel the rhs adds depth to the frame and like your letterbox crop. You've captured the scene well which looks a very pleasant place to be, good work
Good not to feel alone!
- 3 card brag (for ciggies) those where the days
Hi, edit works for me.
Rustic, nice building and great detail. Would be a cracker with lovely, warm light.
Kind, well spotted and nicely composed. No real way, I suspect, to isolate the Police so
Cheers.
Hi Alan
Rustic - A lovely building that, sure says village life to me, nicely lit and bright colours
Kind - Ahh Haaaaa nice one mate, good composition, well frozen movement and well lined up horse arses
Hi Alan
lovely rustic shot very harsh light but it works for me
Kind, nice fit for the theme its a pity they couldn't be isolated but you can't have everything and as DK says nicely lined up arses
Rustic - Beautiful!
Kind - Everyone else beat me to the Horses arse jokes, but anyway the middle ones out of step
Rustic Allan, a lovely scene well captured.
It has rustic written all over it. You've held the detail well in there with it being so bright. Paricularly like the colour tones
Three of a kind, again bang on theme.
Not a lot could be done about the busy (ish) background but it doesn't really detract from the subjects. It is documentary and tells its own little story.
Well spotted and captured Allan
Rustic working really well Alan - the tree growing up through the canopy setting it off for me, plenty to potentially trip you up here exposure and WB -wise but handled well.
Three of a kind, nice way round a hard theme, people milling around setting the scene well too, maybe a bit more space around the three, especially maybe to the front, but certainly not "over-tight", so
------
missed out angle -
FWIW, I think the crop should be somewhere between the two!! Probably to just include the blue thing on the shore - which I'd then say should be cloned out.
Hi ya
Duality...prial....I need to get me a dictionary
Anything with horses is great by me & your trio for 3 of kind is just fab , trying to work out the breed brand..thought Lipizzaner or dutch warmblood but don't think either is right...do you happen to know ?? It could also be the breeders brand ....& I really like the way you got them to line up so that the colors went from really pale grey through to dark dappled grey...well done you ;-)
Rustic...that place looks just wonderful...& great that they didn't tear down the tree
Angles...neat & original take on the theme , works for me , lovely colors & very sharp , can't decide between the 2 crops so hedging my bets & gonna say ...somewhere between the 2 would be just about right
this theme didn't inspire me either! The only crit I can give here is that the biscuits are a tad boring, maybe add a layer of Cadburys and it would make the perfect shot for me 
Three of a kind works for me. I'd rather look at their faces than their bottoms but I should imagine it doesn't feel comfortable photographing the police in another country? I would crop out the small blurry bit on the RHS.
Hi Alan,
Many apologies, I'm a few weeks behind here!
Kind, you're trying to confuse me by calling this one rustic as well
.
nicely handled lighting in there.
