1st shot for me too. I like the 2nd but feel it would be better from a different angle and maybe just one person in the shot going into a shop. Difficult I know. I like the black and white though.

1st image for me… far better fit than the second! Cant say the crumbs are an issue for me! They are real life… They were there and part of the scene…. leave them in!
Maybe just a slightly lower view point i'd have went for and a little more DOF too.
Great theme shot though.

Bliss - two images that fit the theme nicely, the first image is a winner for me I love a bacon sandwich. Nice sharp image, my only niggle is I'd prefer to have the whole plate in the frame rather than the edge clipped.
Two well captured photographs. #1 for me. Well composed and nice DOF to cover all the areas. I'd like to see some coffee but appreciate it's there.
Cheers.

The bacon butty of course
If only you had got the whole of the tile in, nice and vibrant
Bliss, so many bacon rolls in this theme (well, two - so far) makes me feel hungry. First shot for me as the second is shopping and that is as far from bliss as i can imagine -- hate shopping.
Wow thanks very much for that. Glad you like it.#1 is near perfect. DOF spot on: you know there's something there in the BG but you don't know what.
OOooooo like #1, says it all and can see why its bliss. Well put together, my shots like that never come off! Simple, clear and well taken.
I like the blurry walkers in #2 but does not match the theme strongly enough for me. Good shot though, just not for this week
Mmmm, bacon.
Hi Dan
Sorry, a bit late in commenting...
Pattern - Love the first frost shot, really nice colour and detail, particularly like the globules of water mixed within the shot, the Ice on the glass is again a lovely tone, finally the brickwork, I have a soft spot for old brickwork this is a lovely pattern indeed, like the symmetry in your shot even with some of the converging lines
Bliss - Mmmmmmmm looks edible, real effective DoF, well lit and ooooo perfect looking bacon, nice and crisp... that along with fresh coffee - BLISS for sure
Look forward to following your shots this year
Love #1 with its spot on DOF, just enough to show what's there in the background. A little more time spent composing would pay dividends, and I like the crumbs on the plate.....
Pic #1 for me but needs brown sauce.
Shopping is only bliss when done online.
Hiya Dan, #1 for me for Bliss (#2 looks my own Faustian hell). What a great but simply composed shot. Composition great: I love that you can see two edges of the table and the addition of the slate to separate further the plate works well. Complementary colours going on too. Really well judged DOF choice, making the bacon look even crispier to me!! Lighting is also handled well - natural window light or manmade?
Blimey not another bacon butty. I'm starving tonight. Nice shot and well exposed with the lighting coming from the other side of the subject. Just cropped out the corner of the slate which is a shame but nonetheless a great image.

I really like number 1 Dan, almost get the feeling the phone is being followed to the ground by the camera. Two nice shots. Get your feet up till Friday.
I think I prefer the second one but the fingers are not sharp and so it is not quite an alternative view of the first shot. I can imagine the first shot upside down would give the impression that the phone was still and the person was falling away from it—my brain just sees things oddly sometimes, I like my brain .
Hi, first one for me, prefer the phone to be sharp than the hand and I have no idea why because thinking about it it would make sense the other way.
good bacon butty shot too, nicely staged
Fragile - I love the first shot, good use of pp works well for the theme for me great work.
Later comer picking up the feed back Dan.
Pattens.... Brickwork for me! sharp focus great texture here, perspective and angles always difficult to get right, but anyhow works for me... 1st frost picture quite selective focus (shallow depth of field) nice sharp detail in the center. 2nd one doesnt do it for me possibly as its not so sharp. Brickwork for me
Bliss.... Bang on, Get the roll closed nothing worse than a cold one mate, great balance here (Male balance SWMBO calls it) Healthy fresh orange juice and a bacon roll!!!
Jest over! Most have done all the crit already, agree with the narrow crop being a bit too tight, Nice texture in that table top, Very narrow dof picks up the bacon nice and sharp, Not worried about the crumbs can lick the plate clean after.
Fragile.... Thats a great idea for a HTC phone, my company phone is an HTC and thats the best option for it .
I think the second shot for me, and although the hand is not pin sharp as it might be, to me it gives more the impression of dropping the phone or letting it go, where as in shot one i think the hand is a little distracting and its implies that the user is trying to catch the phone after an accidental drop. (I would have actually have prefered a shot of flinging it at the wall) In the second shot i like the movement in the phone, which is as it would be, rather than the frozen look in shot one. Also nice texture in the wall.... Nice work Dan
Hi Dan ...the first shot for me ...I prefer the visual aspect of it ...a good choice for the theme....I like ShinySideUps idea too
Fragile - First one for me, works well and I prefer the phone to be shaper than the hand.
Came to comment and say I would have gone the other way and there it was 2 shots so second shot for me and a great idea
Hi Dan, to good shots. My vote's for the second - it looks more natural to me having the movement in the phone rather than the hand
First one for me too, it has more dynamism and fits the theme well.
Nice idea. I like the fact in #1 the hand is reaching out for the phone which is sharp.
Cheers.
I like this. A lot of us would have put motion blur on the phone but doing the opposite does really work. Nice one.
Love the sense of motion in this and, as Peter says, I think it works well on the hand rather than the phone. Well done on he interpretation of the theme yet again
Hi
Bliss
Prefer the first shot, lovely colours and good composition apart from the 'missing corner' dont mind the flour/crumbs on plate.it's nigh on impossible to eat one of those rolls without getting covered
Hi Dan, #1 for me - I really like the composite job in PS. Well motion-blurred and then a crisp shot of the phone added over - works really well for me.
All of the usuals are spot on - technically very good - and you've turned a decent enough image into something much more interesting by some clever processing. Top job!
