Thanks a lot Summerhmmm I prefer no. 1 as a picture, but I think no.3 just edges in as more fitting to the theme (vertical), yay more claps
Cool... thanks MandyRelax - good find for the theme nothing to crit.
Thanks again Many, nicely explainedVertical - three good choices to pick from, but I a, going to have to go for the third one. The colour and cloud detail in the sky is great and there's detail to be seen in the coloum, so that's a bonus for me. The added bonus is the closeness to the coloum, which keeps me interested in the image.
Wow... Cheers SimonRelax is a super shot and my kinda relaxing
And vertical im gonna sit on the fence and say all 3 work brilliantly
You ain't wrong there SusieHi DK ....phew are there a lot more posting on here than last year ...the comments seem never ending, must try and keep up and not fall so far behind.
Thank youLove your Relaxed shot ....well spotted and great composition, it's as if they posed for that one.
Thank you again SusieVertical ....cranes v column it's hard to choose between the two because they are both excellent in their own right. Both have amazing skies which are perfect for each shot, both super choices for the theme, great composition in both too.
Cheers JohnHi DK, really like your relax shot, nice work.
Thanks again and Really ??As for vertical I think I have to go with No2 purely because that's my place of work.
Where I lead others follow DeanCobra was not the only one submitting 'Gob Shots' ..
Thank You Mr. Blake, really appreciated coming from you mateNo question about it for me Dean, the dog one is a fantastic image.
It has such depth to it Dean, there isn't any crit I could add. Perfect
I know the feeling mate... and shudder at how you must of felt RUNNING up them stepsI alway love looking at photographs that were taken when I was there. Although I might not have actually been took with you for #1...thinks that's me gasping at the top :arghh:
Thanks AndyWell captured and composed. Looks a little orange and I'm not sure if that's what is was..I was took busy going at the place.
Yes this was the deaf one mate, not sure if it is mangy or just has sunburnt ears - poor thing either way#2, as I said, that's one mangy cat, but it did have character. Was this the one that was deaf??
Cheers.
Thanks MartinLike dogs, don't like cats...but bias aside, it's the dog picture for it's sense of scale and the charming expression on the dog's face.
What you do on the weekends and evenings is entirely up to you IanDog for me and I'm a cat person.
Thank You... and yes I do know what you mean, a nice chocolate lab or red setter would have been perfectIt's the whole scene. The huge amount of steps and the energy expended in climbing them, juxtaposed with the (exhausted) dog having a rest. Great choice of DoF and my only (ridiculous) crit would be that there's a bit too much brown in the image. It really is a shame that the dog blends in to the steps and even though there's a certain compliment to the colours because of it, I'd prefer it if the dog or the steps were a different colour.
Daft I know.
Thank you PhilMouth
What a cracking image, great stuff.
Phil
Thank you AllanHi DK, not sure which one for me both good for different reasons the dog looks very relaxed settling on the steps but the cat certainly looks like he is a big character
both worthy of the theme
Thank you RuthDog shot for me too.
Belting image.
Ha Haaaa that's what I thought too, either that or the scream mask - Thanks TimThe Dog image for me too. Oddly it puts me in mind of "The Joker".
Thank you TracyMouth - love the dog photo
Yeah RightWhere I lead others follow Dean
Yes it is mate, a church... and thanksAs already said the dog is cracking shot, very nice DoF and the steps their selves are also "mouth like" leading to the Church(?)
Thank You SummerThe dog shot - love it, tis an amazing picture
Cheers David... sure is a stunning placeMouth ... Two excellent shots DK .... capturing some true Majorcan ambience.
Thank You LorraineHiya,
Two cracking shots there, I'm not normally a cat person but I'm finding it hard to choose between them.
I think the dog has the edge though - it has a nice sense of scale and I really like the dof. Lovely
Thanks Bob... I do like to give a few options, though normally because I struggle to pick myselfAll very inspirational stuff in your thread. I like the idea of posting a few options for each theme. May try that at some point.
Thanks again BobMy fav image so far has to be the flying companions, second crop works better!
Cheers
Ahhhh that I should haveYou been away on holiday you never said you should have mentioned it more
He/She sure was... thanks SimonThe dog pic is a fantastic capture such an obliging pooch to do that at the prefect time.
Thank you MandyMouth - two nice photos bang on theme, much prefer the composition of the second image.
That's what I thought... such a MEGA yawnLove your mouth shots - especially the dog one. Like the composition. Big mouth for a small looking dog!
I know the feeling... I STILL have loads to go throughNow then matey.....I'm still wading through all my shots from the trip....next time I need to " step away from the camera"
Thanks LynneKitty shot for me....I just love it, he was so cute & the old worn door provided such a great backdrop to set off his lovely ( if slightly tatty ) white fur
Me too... and doing the same when I canHi there, well behind on comments, but trying to have a mass catch up this week
ThanksPatterns - I like all 3 of the photos but I prefer no 1, just because of bringing the water/froth into as well, and I think it breaks it up. It's composed nicely, and fits the theme really well.
Ha Haaaa I get what you are saying though !!!Bliss - I like this one, again suits the theme, i like the colours reflected in the glass. I bet this was relatively difficult to get right, and its better than I would do. I would have prefered to see a bit more exposure on the popcorn and you, and a little bit less on the movie(althought I dont actually think this would work as well) so the comment almost cancels itself out.
I bet that doesn't get you in the good booksFragile - This works well, nicely exposed and even though set up, it's one of those occasions that happens more often than I would like lol.
Thank you very muchScenic - This is a really great photo and I prefer it with the windmill. I've nothing else to add because it works perfectly for me.
Hmmmm could be right on both bits there... I do actually prefer with the gap to the RH nowCompanions - Nice action shot, I would argue theres a bit too much foreground but possibly me being too picky. I'm also on the fence about which side to crop from.
It was worth a goElegant - Can't see it sorry?
Thanks againWatery - I like number 2 out of the three. I tried to get a sailing boat for a different theme, bold, but couldnt bloody find one anywhere strangely enough. Well fitted to the theme
I must try that one day... IF I ever get some spare timeBold - Both photos work well, I like selective colour etc but i think no 1 steals it. I agree with a couple of others where i would have liked to see all 3 tins in focus.
Cool - ThanksRelax - This is my favourite from yours so far, it just fits the theme well and is a really well taken photo.I wouldnt change anything.
Oh Dear... I hope it is level :OVetical - It's number 3 for me, the single focus of 1 item VS the bold sky just works. I like it. Seems a tiny bit wonky to me, but its v.hard to tell from here.
Many thanks... I also enjoyed taking this one as the dog was Soooooo friendlyMouth - Ill take the dog photo for me, its another good one, and is great for the theme, i also did a dog releated one lol. Your DOF here is great and I think its bang on for the effect you were going for.
You will be waiting a while LOLCrowd
Cheers mateDog shot for me to Dean, it's a great pic.
Cool - Thanks NickOooh, the dog shot's a cracker, I honestly can't see anything about it that could be changed for the better. Bravo!
Thank You DarrenHas to be the dog photo for me Dean.
Great composition, Nice PoV and a nice DoF.
