The Admins are very sorry to have to announce that Chris S, aka Cobra, has passed away very recently. People noticed his absence over the last week, and his daughter messaged us this morning to confirm our worst fears.
We at TP are still trying to ingest this very sad news, but be assured the only change you will notice on the site is the lack of Ole Snake-Eyes' guiding hand in the moderation.
Happy Like the dof good shot
Camouflage - I have a collection like that. I didn't see it till the Cadbury comment then couldn't believe I missed it it jumped out at me great pic well done
Dangerous - good street shot different take on the theme.
Happy - A real nice image that, good focal point, very effective DoF, scrummy looking chips and doesn't looked staged at all, a great little football ground image
Camouflaged - Soooooooooo many buttons I gave up looking for the intruder - A real nice busy colourful image
Personally I wouldn't have gone with such a shallow DoF, or has it been an edit done post capture? But definitely on theme, I was thinking of photographing photos or cameras somehow too!
Hi Kenny, topical is a solid image for the theme - works and gets you onto the next week which is half the battle for us all.
I really like your choice of image for Living World. I think your POV is spot on and the composition/lighting of the background is totally spot on - the mix of bokeh, highlights on leaves on floor all just come together to create a very balanced and interesting image. I do however feel the subject itself is lacking a bit of punch - perhaps it's slight soft but for me it's more about the lighting. Some strong backlighting (coming through the petals etc.) would really make it sing, or a bit of directional fill to give the yellow flower a bit more shape.
Spiky - great take on the theme, spot on! Only crit from me is the clouds look a little over processed for me, a little too HDR maybe? Really like the composition and the steps leading down into the shot though!
Nobody can argue about it not being themed - that is a spike unquestionably. I really like the contrast and detail between the hard surface of the spike and the puffy white clouds.
