Hi Michael & welcome 
Good start , nice n sharp , great colors .......a little pick is the BG ( though I know how difficult they can be ! )......maybe a large sheet of paper to create an infinity curve might work to lose the darker area rhs ?
Great start & I look forward to seeing more from you

Thanks. There is a flaw in the wall and I didn't have time to re-plaster and paint
Seriously yes I did try and edit it out but it looked worse so it had to stay. (Editing skill not up to much I'm afraid)Hi Michael & welcome

Thanks. I agree about the background I do need to go and get some background materials etc

Thank youtwo good pictures that fit the themes well, good start
Thank you
Thank youI really like your choice for the line theme....very clear and crisp
I put the ruler to the side so It didn't impose to much on the shot but felt it was needed as It'd be rather hard to get the line without a ruler.

Odd - Good shot of the CD case/cover. Background has been mentioned
Line - Nice idea. I don't mind the ruler as it was needed to draw the line. The line appears to almost have a shadow effect which makes it look a little strange though. Was there another line drawn on the paper underneath?

Not seeing the convex but that could be my laptop screen (seen better days)
Good image Michael
I have no idea why, but I want to clone out the very small reflection of the drawn pencil line on the side of the pencil
Hadn't noticed the reflection. That's the sort of thing I miss
The Idea was my daughters as its her CD and as soon as I mention the theme was Odd and was struggling for ideas she produced the CD.
I did try a few with different apertures but this just seemed to fit better.
Having looked I had 2 or 3 pieces of paper and I think that line is the indent on the sheet below from when I drew the line and the top sheet has moved ever so slightly
A literal and quite novel interpretation of the first theme.
Gerry
Most of the shots I've seen on this theme are of objects etc with lines be they fences, building shutters and the like so I decided to be literal and draw a line
Simple was what i was aiming for

Just what I was thinking, looks like it is floating
A nice bright image, works very well for me

Hi Michael
sometimes simple & obvious is the way to go & your image for Line proves that point...plenty of lines going on , nicely sharp ,good focus & a slight shadow under the pencil to add some reality to the image....nicely done mister

Another classic take on the theme play, fits well nicely done, does look a little noisy tho when viewed on flickr.

Was quite a tight crop on the original which certainly hasn't helped with the noise.

Hi Michael, and welcome to the 52. I've just had a first look through your thread:
Odd - lovely bright image. The slight crease on the left of the background has already been mentioned, but this is an original take on the theme.
Line - another bright, clean image and a clear interpretation of the theme. Nicely lit, too.
Play - I like the dark tones and texture of the wood in the foreground, and it's well lit. It looks like a little dust on the board to the right, but it doesn't detract from the theme and it's the sort of thing you notice after the shot is taken.
You're off to a great start and I look forward to following your thread
