[SteveSc]

Simple but striking, well done for spotting the opportunity and you've composed it nicely.

 

[Bebop]

I love your minimalistic reflections. That works really well. Well spotted and perfect timing for the theme.

 

[HelenC]

Excellent find. Shame they were there but at least made for a great shot. A splash of colour in the middle of greyness.

 

[susiejb]

Super shot Allan, just the sort of thing I was hoping to find .... perfect for the theme.

Cracking reflection shot Allan, love how the reflection of the bottle neck goes.

WEEK 10 ROUGH

pine cones by Allan Howe, on Flickr

 

[Donnie]

I like it, got a few things going on there, the rough is right there and yet the image almost takes us in and becomes smoother as you go in due to the lovely depth of field. The lovely side lighting enhances both aspects of this quite well too.

 

[Harlequin565]

Really nice image as usual Allan. Very tidy composition, could easily qualify for "low key", and a very appropriate use of depth of field.

 

[StuartPearson]

Reflection
Definitely well spotted, the slight view of the area under the water adding to it. Might have been tempted to throw in a pebble to see how it looked

[HelenC]

Nice detailed image - I like the fact the first two are almost the same shape and bend into the compostion.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Wish I'd have thought of this as I have some of those cones. It's a good image and nicely rough.

[Cobra]

Very nice use of DoF.
As already mentioned, rough to smooth works very well

[d00d]

The rough-looking one is nicely lit, the tip stands out well.

 

[Nostromo]

Rough
Really great lighting, the cones going from sharp too blurred highlights the roughness of the nearest cone.

[Shugpug]

Lovely lighting and nicely lined up cones.

Very nice image.

 

[NickD]

Pine cones are the gift that keeps on giving. Great textures, and your use of DOF works nicely.

[Bebop]

Rough: On theme. I really like the composition and lighting with the other cones fading into the distance. The depth of field is perfect.

 

[rpn]

Nice composition and the placing of the cones. Good focus with the right amount of blurriness and beautifully lit too.

Composition and lighting is spot on Allan, it works perfectly, a simple but eye catching shot.

WEEK 11 SMOOTH

Iron by Allan Howe, on Flickr

 

[Boots]

Yes, that definitely works - like it.

 

[FlyPhot]

Nice job, love the purple cloth and the lighting is very good, I may have cropped a tad off the bottom, personally (but that's just me as it feels a bit 'tall' for my taste ). Fits the theme perfectly too.

 

[blakester]

Good work Allan, I particularly like the colour tones.

 

[Harlequin565]

Agree with Iain, lovely colours - the bronze and purple compliment each other well.

Although should the title be "Soon to be Smooth"?

 

[Bebop]

That's a lovely old iron. I had a similar idea and even ironed something for the photo this afternoon, but I just didn't like it with my modern iron

Your image works really well. I love the colours and the textures.
