weekly Middlearthimages, 52 for 2015 WEEK 3 Scenic Added

Hi John :)

Ooooo a nice log burner, the cat sure must think this blissful too !!

The DoF is just about there, minor crit I find the shadows a bit too harsh, but and I'm liking that the shot isn't too bright, looks like a nice winters evening where you could get comfy with a loved one, good start to your 52 (y)
 
A log burner and a cat curled up in front, fits the theme perfectly :)
Although the cat looks less than impressed having its picture taken :D
 
Lovely image .maybe have taken a little lower to get all fingers in. Like the tones.
 
Not sure how I've missed this thread... I see you've added your pic to the main pic thread, but there was no link to here. If you click on the number in the bottom right corner (#18 for your "Fragile" shot) you'll get a pop up with a link to that post in particular. Should look like this...

Both images are brilliant. Fragile in particular caught my eye. Great use of B&W, excellent subject framing & composition, nice shallow DOF and lovely gentle lighting. Top shot!
 
Hi John

It's my first TP52 too

Bliss - I love it my idea of bliss on a cold winters night. I agree the cat looks less then impressed at being disturbed or is he/she just thinking you are not getting me to move from this spot it's mine.

Fragile - Fits the theme perfectly for me and really like the B&W conversaion
 
Good one John. Meets theme challenge. I would like to see the image made slightly softer - not sure how but there will be experts out there who do know the answer. Is there any sharpening been done? Maybe to much contrast? All that having been said, I do like it. Well done

Thanks for feedback , still unable to link.
 
Bliss - looks lovely! What a lovely image both in terms of the picture but also curling up in front of that!! Nearly missed the cat, not a willing model?

Fragile - another baby one, good capture. The B&W of it really enhances.

Good luck with this week!
 
HI John, made it here finally :wave:

Bliss....ohhhh liking that a lot...makes me feel all relaxed & cosy :) Slightly harsh shadows as Dean mentioned but it's a corker of an image to start your challenge :clap:

Fragile.......beautiful DOF & super sharp focus where it's needed :clap: Crit wise it's just the clipped finger
