I like the cross but I still can't quite work out what it is.
Nope, I'm being a bit dim. Routine, gizza clue
Cheers.
Never heard the expression Hatch, Match, Dispatch, I like it.So I was half right ... thinking along the lines of Hatch, Match, Dispatch (christenings, weddings, funerals) routine.
Whatever, I like it ... texture, focus, pov.
Don't tell anyone but its actually in colour, the ravens will get you in the endnice shot for Routine, love the extreme angle and mono, i was going to dip into a church for a christening party was going on, but the ravens outside seemed to be an Omen i cant shrug off...

Thanks for looking in it isn't a font its A very small holy water container something that would hang on a wallHi Allan,
Structure - The bamboo works well in two ways. (1) in that you've captured the structure of the plant well and (2) that it's oft used in structures. It does work well silhouetted.
Routine - I was being dim too, regarding why the font (I assume it's a font) and the cross were routine, get it now.
Great texture captured and that's an unusual POV, which adds interest. It's a bit more than a Dutch angle. Maybe Latvian
structure - very minimalist, wonderful silhouette. real nice
routine - the colours make this photo feel dark and oppressive given the subject matter (holy water). i think it's a really clever composition, one of those photos where it's hard to tell what it actually is but you admire it anyway, especially the detail in the metal (or stone?)
Great composition and an image which makes me wonder. I like pictures that get me thinking about stuff so well done
Thanks for the explanation, I think it helps to lay out your idea with a shot so we can see why you did it and how. Religion was my obvious thought and it's a nice subtle way of showing how it is a routine in many peoples lives. I've only been once to the Cathedral on a school trip many many many years ago.
Good choice Allan ...I like the angle and the focus ...it has a rather unearthly feel to it.
I do agree with having an opportunity to view an image first which I do on the image only thread. I never look at any submissions until I have done mine and then go through the image only posts then follow the links.Sometimes I think it would be good for people to think about the picture rather than having it explained from the off, your first thought was religion and you were of course right, this one was maybe a little difficult to understand so I provided the explanation, glad you liked it
That's a really eye catching angle. Textures are great, even in the oof stone and the muted tones work really well. I like it a lot.
Another catch up. Here it comes....
Mineral: I'm on the fence about it. No arguments re: meeting the theme (I can't bear to overthink it tbh), but the white on white bothers me. I keep on thinking I like it then sway to disliking it. I do like the fact it made me look at it as an image for longer than I generally would and if I'm honest, how can that be a bad thing?
Whole: Another white background. This time, nailed it (or should that be 'stapled it'?). Just love the BG, colours, idea, sharpness, execution in general is brilliant. Well done.
Structure: Another love/hate thing for me. Not for me in terms of subject, but there's no arguing with the execution. Great contrast and sharper than a sharp thing. The negative space works well, too.
Routine: Great texture and detail in the foreground, the cross finishes the BG off nicely and is just OOF enough not to take the eye away from the FG.
Cheers

I'm really like structure. Simplistic and effective.
Good idea for Routine.
Like others have said, it's a nice shot with nice tones, tho I couldn't work out the connection either so I'm glad you added the explanation.
Another intersting take from you Allan. My first though was the Christian routine of Christening because it looks like a metal font. Great pov and I like the oof cross too.
I am sure yours will be a different take, I took this yesterday whilst in workDamn, you beat me to it! Just checked in on the way back from the cathedral on the bus. Oh well.
Both are good ideas. I think i prefer the mono for its lower point of view.
Numbers has got to be the mono shot, love the looking up of it, looks really good in mono as it gives it the edge
Well I prefer the first one Allan. It's a more interesting shot and gives the whole thing a context.
#1 for me. Lovely muted colours. Slightly different angle maybe to move the lower left flowers.
I bet you could do a whole TP52 in a church
Cheers.
Thanks I agreeHmmmmm choices !!!
I like the composition of the colour version, but the background is a bit too strong maybe, still great colours, so... the B & W, again good composition, I like the closer in numbers, so the conversion takes it for me
Thanks StanI like both and each has its merits. The first for the colour and the portrait format works very well. The second for the simplicity.
#1 is really nice ... colour, texture, big picture, perfect dof.
