Hi Susie, love your submission for yum, vibrant greens, super detail, good work
Hi it's amazing what camera phones can do these days. Lovely vibrant greens and a decent amount of detail I'm not keen on the central position. I bet he was full after eating for 40 minutes
Cheers.
Vertical - I really like the cathedral, nice detail everywhere.
Both submissions are excellent for the theme... Its how you interpret it that counts IMO
I really like the yum shot. Loving the richness of the green and it's stunning what mobiles can capture these days. Agree with all the positive comments above. Great find.
Hey Susie
Vertical - Now then, what you trying to do to my brain, at that angle I can't see a single vertical - as an image it's great, beautifully lit and cracking detail
Crit wise I would want to clone out the 2 candles in the bottom RH side and drop the highlights on the window LH
The Lupin is nicely lit, the DoF is just about there too, the out of focus background is very pleasing, theme wise Much Better too for me
Yum - Now this is lovely, nice bright colours, quite good detail too, liking the way you have done this, for a phone/gadget not bad at all
Hi Susie
Yum - that caterpillar shot is super. It kind of explodes out from the centre IYSWIM. Good detail and colours and a good idea for the topic.
The Koi shot does not have the same clarity or punch IMO. Overall a bit murky
Dream - I wouldn't normally be keen on novelty frames but in this case it really works with the processing of the subject. Keep an eye on the horizons though.
Vertical - I definitely like the Exeter Cathedral image. This is a super shot. You've dealt with the difficult exposure very well indeed. Throwing it onto an angle makes it a strong image as well.
Yum - I like your thinking for the theme. A super shot considering it was taken with a phone
Hi Susie, you have caught the fish really well, but another vote for the caterpillar here
Hi, Susie, this is what it's all about, emotions!
I like this, especially your grandsons on the right, the redness of his face really emphasises that he's screaming loudly.
Crit, well, I can empathise with the crashing thingy, as I've been there Ggrrrrr.
Pity you couldn't have got outside for a cleaner BG.
Great fun anyway
Chests.
Hi Susie, its a good pic you have captured a moment, pity about the BG, but unavoidable as you say
a tighter crop might work also, some off the right
and you are right "theworldwillend"
Yum - I really like the way you've caught the eaten away bit as well as the caterpillar, nice mixture of greens
Load - I bet they are, as mentioned the redness of the face really show he's going for it
Loud: Now this is an everyday scene in our house, the two eldest screaming and playing out loud not stop. Like the interaction between the two and the 'popping' neck vein of the cheeky chap on the right.
HI Susi,
Love the smiles on their faces they really enjoying them selves wont mention the back round
Hi susie just seen your 2nd yum ... that's quite incredible.
Loud is good .. looking forward to the shopped version.
Good capture - facial expressions work well. As others have said, it's a real shame about the background. I guess asking them to repeat outside wouldn't have worked (knowing my two, anyway!)
Yum - good take for the theme, like the koi carp a lot beautiful fish.
Loud - lovely shot, good composition and I love the way the emotions are coming through from the boy on the rhs of the image.
Cracking sentiments, Susie.
You've done a decent job here and as you say it's all good practice.
Main isssue for me, is it's very blue...unless you were being creative
Cheers.
Hi Susie, really like the idea and you have done a good job on it too, a nice take on the theme.
a little blue as Andy said but that is a very small crit.
that middle grandchild looks vaguely familiar
Hi Susie
Your Koi shot for Yum is great...nice n sharp where it needs to be...and it's different so top marks from me
LOud.....lord above....can almost hear them ! All has been said re the BG , like the redness of the young lads face
Rich....bit of a different take on the theme but it works.....maybe a tad too blue though ?
Hi Susie
Loud and Rich - others have given detailed comment so I will just say that i think that both of the ideas are top notch - very creative
OOooo I prefer it with the black background Susie, and you are dead right with your thoughts, and certainly a creative idea
Great idea Susie for the theme and really well edited. You must have a good deal of patience to have done that!
Agreed about the level of blueness. I think I prefer the edit with purple just because it seems truer to the colour of a 20.
