Hi, Allan you've done a cracking in with the focus on Play and well composed. Holly looks to be having a blast
I never know if it's my iPad or not but it looks a little dark and almost like you've desaturated it a bit
Cheers.
Super dog shot Allan... bet she really moves! Terrific capture and great timing with all four feet off the ground - and sharp as you like!
I'm also not really feeling the desat of the greens here.. maybe a darkening could work to help lift the dog out, (but keep the saturation), the shadows say good strong light, which is at odds with the grass.
EDIT - looked again onflickr and crop looks fine on there - so ignoreHi Allan
Swirl - Mrs SP has a bangle a bit like that. Good fro theme and like the orientation. Shadow does not bother me, altho the bottom part of object seems a bit oof compared to top. Reflected colours give a lift
Play reshoot - I did not see the desat one but this one looks spot on. Good motion and well caught action shot and space for the dog to run in to. Good colour but maybe a bit tighter crop.
Swirl- interesting, what is it?
Liking the re-shoot, you've captured the dog very well, looks sharp, good dof

Hi Allan
what is that Swirly thingy....a ring ? a belt ? nicely placed in the frame , some great colors & a hint of a shadow
Reshoot....always like doggy pic's , fits the theme , really sharp & well captured with feet off the floor

Good themed pictures. Too stark for me but crisp and clear nevertheless.
Hi Allan,
Positive, aww, great lighting and the splash of red gets my vote. Lovely composition too.
Time, yes this theme has appeared quite a lot now! Plenty of detail and subtle lighting.
Swirl, ooo what is that? I like the odd reflections in it and fancy colours. Not sure on a stronger shadow though, I think it’s fine as is.
Play reshoot, whatever it is she is chasing it looks like dam good fun! Super sharp and nicely caught mid gallop with all four paws up.
Linked, very quick off the mark, they look big shackles? Or are they? Perfect for the theme though and nice and sharp. Not the most photogenic items though!
Like the symmetry in the electrical thingys, no idea what they are!
Have a nice time in Pembrokeshire.
Prefer the shackles Alan, good detail, composition, clean bg, plenty of dof and I like the shadow
I like the shackles. Nice definition there and well lit. Are you a rigger or a lampie or noise boy or something? Those shackles are the same as the ones I used to use. I may have a couple hanging around somewhere still.
Definitely the simplicity of the shackles for me. The other one is well composed and on theme, but I've no idea what it is and purely because of that I find it distracting and annoying trying to work out what it might be
Hi Allan...both images bang on theme but visually I prefer the shackles one...I like the fact it's so crisp and clear.
Have a nice holiday
Linked - two good images both fit the theme but, I like the composition of the first image.
On theme and an okay image but that lighting is waaayy too harsh, well focused though
Hey Allan
Linked - You may think not inspiring but they are very nicely lit, good un-distracting shadows, liking the worn red paint on the pins, which add a nice splash of colour, linked together too - what's not to like
2nd Shot - Really liking the 'Linked' Element, but not liking the crop, for me they are too uneven, buttons clipped on one side and not the other, works likewise (that's just my OCD) but again really well lit and nicely set up too
Nice clear detailed shot of the shackles.... plenty of interst in the paint chips and text... shadow is a bit fierce though for me...
I guess the strong light is what's brought out the details, would a stronger light with a bit of diffusion have kept the detail and lessened the shadow?
Linked - on theme and very sharp. Lighting is a bit to much for me, making the shadow a bit harsh. i like the fact that the shackles have age - adds to the shot. Perhaps something attached to the shackles (rope, webbing) would give a bit more context - i certainly thought this when I saw that the post said that you were off to Pembrokeshire as i could imagine these in use on a fishing trawler.
Have a good time
I like the harshness of the light with the bland shackles.
Like the shackles, but agree lighting looks a bit harsh. Have you tried it in b/w?
Hi Allan, some chunky well used shackles there, nice details captured
Don't mind the harsh shadows, The BG goes a little grey towards the top some good detail in the shackles,
HI Allan
wow....thats super strong harsh light, for me at least , it kinda works with the strong rugged hook/claspy things ( a technical term don't ya know!) I even quite like the hard shadows & you've bought out the texture of the metal really well
The top bit of the background irks me....sort of speckeldy grey & there's a sort of 2nd shadow/halo going on round some of the hard shadows...not sure if it's real or caused in pp ?
