Simple but striking, well done for spotting the opportunity and you've composed it nicely.
ThanksI love your minimalistic reflections. That works really well. Well spotted and perfect timing for the theme.
ThanksExcellent find. Shame they were there but at least made for a great shot. A splash of colour in the middle of greyness.
Super shot Allan, just the sort of thing I was hoping to find .... perfect for the theme.
ThanksCracking reflection shot Allan, love how the reflection of the bottle neck goes.
Thank youI 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.
Thanks IanReally nice image as usual Allan. Very tidy composition, could easily qualify for "low key", and a very appropriate use of depth of field.
ThanksReflection
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
Thanks HelenNice detailed image - I like the fact the first two are almost the same shape and bend into the compostion.
Thanks DaveWish I'd have thought of this as I have some of those cones. It's a good image and nicely rough.
ThanksVery nice use of DoF.
As already mentioned, rough to smooth works very well
The rough-looking one is nicely lit, the tip stands out well.
ThanksLovely lighting and nicely lined up cones.
Very nice image.
ThanksRough
Really great lighting, the cones going from sharp too blurred highlights the roughness of the nearest cone.
Thank youPine cones are the gift that keeps on giving. Great textures, and your use of DOF works nicely.
ThanksRough: On theme. I really like the composition and lighting with the other cones fading into the distance. The depth of field is perfect.
ThanksNice composition and the placing of the cones. Good focus with the right amount of blurriness and beautifully lit too.
Thanks SusieComposition and lighting is spot on Allan, it works perfectly, a simple but eye catching shot.
