Sorry that reference is lost on me but I get the feeling that it is a little spooky.
Really nice detail on your hand works really well in b+w
If you happen to be at home now the Addams family is on Film 4 right now! Thing is a disembodied hand in the film and series.
I like your take on the theme of "Age" Allan. I particularly like the high contrast feel that you have brought out in your processing, lovely and sharp too, good work! Iain
Hi Alan,
Looking at spread #1 on my phone it looks a tad soft, but that could be the teeny screen. I think it works well for the theme.
#2, who cares that it's on a stick! I like the composition with the sun hiding low!
Together, the close crop works for me and I like the highlights in the eyes. I think I'd like to see the kitten in focus too as they're together, difficult I know with a macro lens.
Hi Alan
Spread - Like that, would be nice to see a bigger version to get a full effect
Together - I actually like the crop and the dof, still says together for me, liking the texture the directional light is helping bring out
Spread - #1 is fabulous. I really great take on the theme.
Together - Nice one. My eye keeps being drawn to that reflection in the eye.
Love number 1 of spread and I also dont mind the close crop of together and the side light works well
Hi, Spread, cracker, well composed with good symmetry. I went there a white ago, quite unnerving experience walking thought the gaps and I felt. Quite overwhelmed at times.
Together is nice, just the oof kittens ear des draw my eye,
Cheers.
Hi Alan
Spread #1....beautiful , love it , get it framed & in the wall.....can't nail why I like it but it works in every way for me
Strugling to get the connection between Spread & Spitfire....but then I can be incredibly dim at times
Together....cute ornament ,would prefer to see all of it though , nice tones, the slightly oof ear doesn't draw my eye in fact didn't notice it until I read Andy's comments
Hi Alan, trying to catch up after a few difficult weeks at work. Please let me know if I've missed any of yours here.
Natural; lovely shot. I like the DoF and the exposure.
Age; clever interpretation, and very very nicely composed. B&W suits it very well.
Spread 1 is great; one of your best I'd say. Love it. Spread 2 is a nice shot, but I don't get how it fits the theme?
Together; I don't normally like photo's of ornaments all that much, but this one works extremely well and fits the theme fantastically!
Good take on the theme Alan, I appreciate your difficulties in capturing this. Why is it that when we set out with what we think is an easy or straightforward idea sometimes is just the opposite?
Technically very good, as mentioned above, you've handled the exposure well. I particularly like the vivid colours in the kit. Good work
A good shot of the Fylde RU pack. I've shot quite a few RL (much better) games in the past and I know how difficult it can be. I think you've done really well here. Exposure and focus appears spot on.
Great shot Alan! I like the colours and exposure. I'd maybe have liked to see the shape of the scrum a little more, but it works extremely well as it is.
Jpeg artefacts are the distortion you can get in heavily compressed jpeg shots. If you zoom in on your image above, you'll see them.
This one made me smile. The subject matter makes it work for me. Having the paper on an angle helps composition. I agree with Mark about the pens though.
Nice one Alan, I like it, made me smile too. A bit more dof on the pens would help.
Hi Alan
great simple take on Color but effective , good placement , whites white , pens as mentioned but overall..... from me mister
