Wood is a beautiful shot imo, great lighting and mono too with good texture.
Wall is a good shot, maybe a little lift on the light but I do like the shadows
Thanks for looking inBent, what a simple and effective idea Allan. B&W works well too
Wood, again the B&W adds a lot tho the atmosphere. They've lost their leaves early and the bright light shows the detail well.
Bent; simple and very apt for the theme.
Wood; good idea to use black and white for the shot. However, I find the contrast a bit strong resulted in halos in the tree trunks.
Wall; like the straight-on viewpoint.
Thank youYou-very clever idea and well shot
Arch - one of the best shots in this years 52 IMHO...LOVE IT
display - quite freaky but interesting none the less
Bent -yep, that is
Wood-likeing the b/w , works well
Hey Allan
Somehow missed your 'You' image, what a great idea, very simple but extremely effective, like it !!
Bent - Another cool idea, I wish I had thought of it !! - Liking the simplicity again, the portrait crop and the vignette focusing my eye, nice one
Wood - Interesting highlights on the twigs, is that an effect or just very strong light ?? either way a good choice for the theme
Thanks DaveA good symmetrical shot Allan, good colours and like the reds showing in the photo.
Lucky with the light storm Brian hit about half an hour afterwards, thanks for looking inPoignant image for symmetrical with good light picking out the details on the headstones
Very nicely done for the theme Allan, you've caught the light and really lined that up beautifully ... such young lives, very sad.
ThanksA well taken shot Allan, good idea for the theme too
The fingerprint ... top idea for You, very nicely done.
Bent ... yeah that works. They're not good with road markings up north are they? looks like water based paint, anyway, liking the vignette.
Wood ... works well, nice processing.
Wall ... says fence to me.
The gravestones ... excellent idea, colour, detail and symmetry.
Nice take on theme Allan, like the old worn wood and petals, nice colour and tones in the photo.
thank youNice shot for work Allan
Thank you, the light was very flat and I did desaturate it quite a bit, maybe not the best ideaHi, warn, nice contrast between the plant and the wood. Nice detail and sharp. A little under expose and the flat light didn't help.
Great POV, though.
Regards.
Hi Allan,
Arch - Agree that there are plenty of arches, yet somehow it doesn't work for me for the theme. Possibly because there is so much going on that they take a back seat to the overall image? I like the lighting and the starburst that you've captured and the clever use of god rays in a god based location
Display - I so want to believe that the cat has just snuck into that case to take a nap. What's that all about? And why is it below a pulpit?
I didn't realise the figure was a baboon but once mentioned I can see it.
Bent - Bang on, simple, to the point. The mono processing suits it.
I think this is my favourite of my comment catchup on your thread.
Wood - Spot on theme again, but I can't help feeling more is less as I don't get a feel of a focal point in the image, just an overall wooden impression.
Wall - A bit too dark for me (though I've only calibrated the screen using the windows 10 inbuilt calibration tool).
Good use of leading lines. I've only been to chester once, and that was very recently for work, Didn't get a chance to look at the walls, we didn't get far from the canal and railway (and offices).
Symmetrical - Very nicely done. Not only on theme for the challenge, but appropriate for this time of year too.
Worn - I think that you've got the saturation about right. Too much vibrancy in an image like that would look plain odd, but this looks natural.
Worn leaves (pardon the pun) me wondering what the oak leaves are doing there. I think they do make a reasonably good foil for the worn wood behind and I think I the edges of the leaves on the turn makes a sort of reference to the theme.. I'm probably just over-thinking it
ThanksIt's got the thirds, it's got contrasting textures ... I like.
