... and actually the start of a mini story
Really like your "twisted" pic. The second one works for me. Great composition and fits the theme perfectly.
Those "hidden" pics are VERY creepy. Very creative.

thanks Dawn...but i'm fighting fires at the moment, so the themes will have to take a back seat.. i'm going to post as and when... maybe put placeholders.. ...
but i'm still here...
Fires are bright
And so is that green thing, but we've all seen that recently, or have we
Both fit the theme Kev, but I'm not a fan of the borders.
In 'Bright' the border merges with the tree silhouette and we don't know which is which.
Hiya Kev,
Glad to see you found some time to post the last 2 weeks.
I agree with Neil about the borders .... they do blend in with the photo and are slightly distracting in places.
However, looking past the borders and the photos themselves I think that the 'broken' shot is a tad underexposed ... or perhaps that is due to the mono processing. It would be interesting to see this in colour to form a true opinion of the photo. It definitely looks like it has potential for a great shot.
Now 'bright' is just the kind of photo I like to take and I think you have done well with this one to retain the colours in the sky and the sun rays and maintain the moody detail of the clouds and I like the silhouette of the trees. Perhaps the photo would benefit from a thin black border to frame it :shrug:
Well done though I think you have two shots right on theme
Cheers
Dawn
Sometimes, because I have an uncalibrated monitor I'm often not sure if it's me of the photograph, but #1 is a little dark.
Lots of potential there, but I'm not sure about the composition. I'd rather the trees weren't there and perhaps loose the sky altogether by getting a bit closer.
#2, I actually like the feathery border and I feel you have just the right amount of foreground in the photograph. I can just about make out the sun rays.
Cheers.
ah this critque was worth the wait then..though £26 for a blow job and trim at the local salon wasn't my idea of a saturday...but thank you dawn.. i'm glad you liked the bright sky shot, i did wonder what you might think of it. and retaining that blue was a winner..
as for the broken, i meant it to be underexposed. and grainy. the colour wasn't much to look at, red tiles and brick, and wood and grass..
like i say i experimented with borders and the TP black format kind of shows them as a hole in the page opposed to a border.
i will endeavour to try harder..though now i better sort out my gear for tomorrows wedding...
:nuts:though £26 for a blow job and trim at the local salon wasn't my idea of a saturday...
oooops
LIke the sunset pic, some nice colours in there, shame the border blends in a little too much.
:nuts:
Yeah, a trim isn't my idea of a Saturday, but £26 sounds cheaper than a bottle of wine, and taking her out for a movie and a meal! :nuts:
Hiya Kev
Great shot for rescue and SOOC too, I'm impressed. At first I wasn't sure about the colour ... but the more I look at it the more I like it, not sure why ..... I just do.
BTW that Bach Rescue spray is great stuff, think I still have some of that somewhere in the house, although it is probably way past its Exp Date
Well done
Cheers
Dawn
thanks dawn... in like a bullet there girl... love it..
i tried to give it a fire side glow... wel at least a warm feeling to it...cosy...snug..
I'm on the ball tonight ....
Your descriptive words 'fireside glow', 'warm', 'cosy', 'snug' are not words I would associate with Rescue, Menthol and Elastoplast .... but heyho ... whatever floats your boat
Cheers
Dawn
Hi, Kev rescue #1 is well composed and on theme. Not sure about the colour (cast?).
Rescue #2 I like. There's a certain defiance in the placement of the king. I like the lighting but would like to see the front end of the board.
Cheers.
just the idea of being trapped in a snow drift and being sug out by a terrier with a whiskey barrel under its chin, and you being brought in placed next to a roaring fire and wrapped up in blankets... try thinking outside that box girl...no wait... laterally..thats the word i wanted...
..... okay I get the idea .... so does this whiskey barrel have whiskey in it?
D
Hi kev I like both shots, including the colour cast on number 1
Hi Kev,
#1 works for the theme, but I'm not a fan of the colour cast.
#2 is a nice idea too.
No borders or green squares, umm - where is Kev and what have you done to him?
ooo iz thiz KEV... this is the propoganda arm of the infamous Green Box bridage... look at our images, now look at yours..now back to ours.. are you still taking shots of lady scented candles ..now back to yours...and back to me... where are you now.. we're inside the green box....and we've got our thumb over the end of your lens .... yeah... that was our thumb...
Me is starting to think the Green Box brigade have drunk all that '13th century Napoleon Brandy' and stashed Kev in the 'whiskey' barrel
Green Box brigade ... I demand you give us our Kev back before we have to send out the 'Rescue' team
Really like your 2 shot for rescue the theme and chess board brilliantly thought out
