weekly Posiview's TP52 for 2014 Week 52 Support added and FINISHED :)

Well, this was easy :banghead:

Raining outside so another indoor submssion from me.

I started doing it, slowly....and Jackie said, 'Why don't you use a plate to make the shape?'.

Genius!

Not perfect, and it's still on the table for a reshoot, if needed.

It's a nice broad theme so other ideas are stewing.

NB: just seen a small spot near the top...I'll remove later...work to do :)

Cheers.

Clever use of cocktail sticks - and so precisely arranged. I like them both.

God, Andy, don't know where to start. A huge number of stunning images since I last managed to get in here. Well done. Just... well done.

Cheers, all.

I've been looking at them again and can't help thinking something is missing. I like minimal but I'm wondering if the central black circle maybe too large.

Cheers all.
 
i think it works as it is, was thinking maybe another circle of sticks in the middle going the other way but think it may look too clutttered then so not a good idea lol.
Just noticed your colour version has one cocktail thats slightly a different colour to the others, stands out now i have noticed it lol
 
Simple idea that works well Andy (y), you must have plenty of patience :D prefer the first one, seems to stand out more.
 
What an extremely effective idea! Personally, I prefer the yellow one, I think it looks more real and looks like what it is, whereas the white version could just as easily be something created in graphics.
 
Hi Andy well executed idea but I feel the same way about it you do, something missing maybe a tighter smaller centre
its good non the less (y)
 
I think the mono works better, the colour of the sticks looks a little uneven.

When I scroll up and down it looks like they are turning, spooky :)

mono version for me Andy, would like to see other colour versions, something like a red or a blue. I like the simplicity of it.

Thanks, all.

I've done a few more, including one with a smaller circle.

Yup the lighting is a tad uneven. I noticed that which is why I change to B&W...bit lazy, I know.

Never thought about different colours, might even blend some textures on it.

Cheers all.

lol i was going to say that dark knight.
I really like one and three. Nothing wrong with 2 though.

The more I look at the 3 the more it has an eye look to it, quite mesmerising
 
Really like these, the third of the three above stands out more in my eyes. You must have a lot of patience to set them out as you did (y)
 
Dark Knight said:
BLIMEY !!!

That first one really does my eyes in :runaway:

Like the all Andy, my pick of the four is the middle one above, although i like the complexity of the last one, the middle ones simplicity (and smaller circle) really make it the winner for me (y)

I could get used to the simple takes on themes.....although my patience was tested a few times especially when a book fell on the table and scattered the picks.

Cheers.
 
go andy....

first is good, close enough to perfect arrangement, second on the square is another good idea, but has too many sticks not quite in allignment / symmetry...

#3 is good too,

but you have taken the idea and really worked it through in the fourth.. love it!

Thanks, Graham. Second one was perect until I removed the template box and they moved. jackie was cooking and giving me 'the eye' so I had t call it a day.

Cheers.
 
Hi Andy,
Shape - Wow!
I liked the first arrangement as soon as I saw it but then I saw the other ones and they stood out even more to me. Very impressive. No crit from me really.
 
Hi Andy...wow...from me too .... yes, some of those really do make my eyes go funny, the first two look almost 3d to me. Super images there and well done to you for having the patience to make them in the first place. hard to choose a favourite as they are all excellent, but I think it would be the square one for me.

Hi, appreciate the FB (y)

With the weather improving I might get outside for the next theme.

Regards.
 
Hi ya

Fresh.........yuk & wow in equal amounts :D Not keen on the one with blood in it as it looks a little to fake ( the blood that is not the hand ! ) Of the 1st 2 images I'd probably go for #1......though I'm not particularly taken with the pp effects on either but I do see the effect you were aiming for . On 2nd thought's I'd prefer the coloring of #2 on the bg of #1....just to be awkward .Sorry :hug:

However.....Shape....belters the lot of them . You must have some patience mister , to arrange them so painstakingly ! My favorite one is the last.....draws you in to the middle....has overtones of 007 :clap::clap:
Woondering why , in the last one......the outer circle is not arranged in the same direction as the inner...or the inner circle not arranged in the same direction as the outer 2....whichever way you want to go with that ?

Cheers, Lynne, I noticed the outer circle...should have changed it and I'm surprised no one else. Noticed it :)
 
Evening all.

Well I'm off work tomorrow and have a few ideas for Numbers :)

While I'm on, check the TP52 meet thread in my signature. The venue is likely to be Scotland and I'll have no "it's too far for me" nonsense attendance is mandatory.

Sign up here I guarantee...yes, I guarantee you'll have a great time....very little sleep, but a great time.

Cheers and I'll be watching you :bat:
 
Hi Andy, wasn't expecting that :eek: I like it, cant say I like this kind of processing usually but for this it works
nice attention to detail with the tag was intrigued as to what was written on it.
great idea and well executed :clap:
 
Clever - if gruesome- idea. I prefer the one with colour as it gives more "reality" to the feet.
 
have to admit the first thing I did was read the tag - (y) for doing that.

all works really well, the dirty feet make it, adding to the wonderment as o the cause of death.

Have you added a vignette?? making the big toes darker than they need be?
