Prefer shot 2 as I love DOF in pics... well done DK

 

[Judi]

#2 for me too, very pretty flowers

 

[Dark Knight]

Spring is on its way... for you maybe bloody rain here!

I prefer the 2nd one myself, you already know the crit so I won't repeat it.

Good efforts mate

Thanks Simon... yeah I don't need anybody else to rub it in lol !!!

Annnnnd a thanks to you too Judi

 

[JasonGlyn]

Good stuff DK. Number 2 for me please. Prefer the softer background.

Number 1 the green color of the background grass is a little distracting, as if oversaturated??? or is it just golden hour light giving such 'rich' colors

 

[Delta Skies]

I thought for a minute I'd commented on these earlier this evening. Was it a TP52 trip out?

I agree with Sonriendo in that it's probably just between the two that would be most effective.

It was very nice light to be honest, but maybe it could tone down a tad

Hahaaaa it looks like it could have been mate... these are in my front garden

 

[Tango32]

Both are good, really like the low level

 

[Dubn83]

Liking the mineral idea a lot, well edited too. And the flowers for sense of spring hit the nail on the head aswel.

Right... after a fantastic 4 days with a few of the 52'ers from 2013 (what a fantastic bunch of people !!!) I give you my week 8 offering...

After the theme was announced to our internet & Mobile phone starved part of Norfolk, the following day we visited Brancaster (Nice choice Brian )

This was my thought for for the ending theme... this jetty has really seen the 'Ending' of it's natural life and usefulness, as the guys and Gal would agree... this was damn wobbly

Having uploaded this, I now think maybe I need to move the Watermark to the right hand side !!!

Hi Dean....really good to meet you & Kieran this weekend , was a fab trip

OMG...that jetty , never used to worry about things like that but hell fire , really flipped my tummy & mind walking along it It had definitely seen better days ! Well exposed with good reflections , the sun really bought out the color in the wood

As for the watermark...I'm trying to envisage it on the rhs might be worth dropping the opacity of it a little ?

 

[siblingchris]

I like this and given the time of year I think you've done well with the light to capture a sense of warmth in it. Nice one.

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

What a beautiful looking place, I am not to sure I would want to be walking along that jetty. I think it has clearly come to the end of its usefulness, a splendid take on the theme nice one.

 

[JasonGlyn]

What a neat location! Nice reflection and composition to get the diagonal line going through the frame. Would look good converted to b&w which would enhace and make more prominent the diagonal lines.

Perhaps could benefit from a little boost of contrast though?

Good work again and nicely spotted oppurtunity there Dean

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Yay! - I know this place... Nicely shot!

Great fun to see a shot from the "end of 2013 52" meet used as a submission for the theme of ENDING in the 2014 52...

Someone should have got a shot of the end of the meet!

 

[Phil-D]

Great shot DK, looks like you had some cracking weather, colours and reflections look good I just get the feeling I want to crop a bit of the water off the bottom.......... up to where the jetty starts.......

 

[XenosElaine]

Love the contrast between the warm colours of the wood and the banking and the cool blue water and even the rickety-looking boat fits the theme!

 

[mercurius]

Lovely warm colours, nice reflections - what's not to like!

 

[Allan.H]

Hi DK, nice colour, the water with the warm low sun on the luxurious jetty
would like to see the boat more prominent in the frame, no idea how difficult that might have been though

 

[Judi]

That jetty has definitely seen better days, lovely shot

 

[The goblin]

Hey DK, glad you had a good meet, I will go one day!

Sense, I agree that number two is better, dam shame about that flower on the left being OOF! In the first shot the mud is too dominating.

Ending, you walked on that? Lovely colours and reflections. I agree that the watermark needs shifting to the RHS,

 

[susiejb]

Super pic DK.....love the reflections in the water, the blue sky, the blue boat....it all ties together perfectly

 

[Dark Knight]

Hi Dean....really good to meet you & Kieran this weekend , was a fab trip

Likewise Lynne, lovely to meet you at last too

OMG...that jetty , never used to worry about things like that but hell fire , really flipped my tummy & mind walking along it

to say the least lol

It had definitely seen better days ! Well exposed with good reflections , the sun really bought out the color in the wood

Thanks

As for the watermark...I'm trying to envisage it on the rhs might be worth dropping the opacity of it a little ?

Hmmmmm I think I will try both once I catch up on the mountain of feedback

 

[Dark Knight]

Cheers Chris

Thanks Mandy... it really had to be experienced

What a neat location! Nice reflection and composition to get the diagonal line going through the frame. Would look good converted to b&w which would enhace and make more prominent the diagonal lines.

Oooooo great Idea, will try that in the next couple of days

Perhaps could benefit from a little boost of contrast though?

OOo will try that too

Good work again and nicely spotted oppurtunity there Dean

Cheers for the great suggestions Jason

 

[Dark Knight]

Yay! - I know this place... Nicely shot!

Cheers Buddy

Great fun to see a shot from the "end of 2013 52" meet used as a submission for the theme of ENDING in the 2014 52...

Ah Haaaa oh yes !!!

Someone should have got a shot of the end of the meet!

Oh My... how many times did we say we would do that before it was all over :bang:

Great shot DK, looks like you had some cracking weather, colours and reflections look good

We certainly did apart from the lack of quality sunsets and sunrises

I just get the feeling I want to crop a bit of the water off the bottom.......... up to where the jetty starts.......

I thought similar that it needs a wider crop, took as much off the top as I could, and didn't want to loose the full boat reflection... so a tad stuck with it

 

[Dark Knight]

Lovely warm colours, nice reflections - what's not to like!

Cool... Thanks

Hi DK, nice colour, the water with the warm low sun on the luxurious jetty

Thanks Allan

would like to see the boat more prominent in the frame, no idea how difficult that might have been though

Would have been easy if I had fallen in

That jetty has definitely seen better days, lovely shot

Thanks Judi

 

[Dark Knight]

Hey DK, glad you had a good meet, I will go one day!

Hey Marsha... Annnnd that you should

Sense, I agree that number two is better, dam shame about that flower on the left being OOF! In the first shot the mud is too dominating.

You aint wrong at all

Ending, you walked on that?

We all had a go

Lovely colours and reflections.

Thanks

I agree that the watermark needs shifting to the RHS,

YAY !!!!! was hoping somebody would agree

Super pic DK.....love the reflections in the water, the blue sky, the blue boat....it all ties together perfectly

Thanks Susie

 

[Sonriendo]

Works for me - lovely light and reflections

 

[Delta Skies]

A weekend away with the TP52 crew and you've come back with a result for this week's theme. Nicely composed with the boat more or less on the third. You've captured some nice blues but I can't help but wonder what it would be like as a B&W image.

 

[posiview]

It's always strange when you remember someone taking a photogaph and I stood and watched take is one.

Works for me: great textures, reflection, well composed and lovley light. I actualy like how te boat has been pushed to the lowerleft (outside the third).

Crit, well, looks a little blue on my high-end works computer

Wouldn't mind seeing a B&W conversion.

Cheers.

 

[superpippo]

Hi DK
Sense - on theme and agree with others re dof. However nice colours, good pov and crop really suits the shot
Ending - good warm feeling after the wet winter. like the comp and agree with allan@alsjazzera that would like to see boat a bit more prominent and without the shadow falling across it - can you go back and do it again?

 

[Richard Gill]

Works well for me. Would like to see it pop a bit more - maybe boosting clarity and saturation. But that could be a personal taste thing.

 

[Dark Knight]

Works for me - lovely light and reflections

Cheers Peter

Yup... thanks Peter

I will certainly doing a B&W when I go through my pics from the weekend again

It's always strange when you remember someone taking a photogaph and I stood and watched take is one.

Yay !!! I remember lots of super shots being taken by the crew, great being there

Works for me: great textures, reflection, well composed and lovley light. I actualy like how te boat has been pushed to the lowerleft (outside the third).

Cool... I wanted it low, almost insignificant but still having the full reflection, as the main focus is meant to be the Jetty

Crit, well, looks a little blue on my high-end works computer

Hmmmm I think you may be right, on LR SOOC looked VERY warm, so I pulled it down a bit - maybe too far

Wouldn't mind seeing a B&W conversion.

It will be on it's way soon'ish

Cheers.

Hi Richard... Sounds like a plan to me... I'd like to give that a go too - Thanks

 

[Suvv]

Lovely colours with the warm glow. I like the reflections and the shadows, they really add to the image.

 

[Tango32]

HI DK - Ending a really nice shot reflections are good and even the detail on the algae is good

Hi Craig - Thanks mate

 

[Dark Knight]

Right... first Edit

• Watermark moved to right and faded
• Upped Saturation a tad
• Upped Contrast a tad

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Looks better now the watermarks been moved
