Hi Allan. An appropriately gritty b&w for Habit. Like the partial take of the ashtray and the contrast between the grain of the wood and the patterned cigarette paper. Nicely thought out for the theme.
Hi Allan
Habit ... nice idea [but I thought of it first], nice detail, ashtray nicely positioned in the frame.
Hi Allan ...love your idea for Full ....would like a slightly blacker black, but a very original choice for the theme.
Habit ...well you've certainly captured that well ...gritty, grainy, and grey...not often you see a full ashtray these days.
I agree with carl, that's a great gritty shot that shouts Habit. Not sure if an empty 'Costa' cup would have had the same impact
Smashing shot for Habit Allan. I love the overall composition only using part of the ashtray and the messiness of the dogends.
Full :
Gritty and to the point Allan
Habit, cracking crop and nice detail, the wood contrasts well against the ashtray.
Cheers.
Hey Allan
Habit - Really liking portrait crop and the ashtray in the lower corner, the B&W suits it too, and as said by Andy, the wood grain is very complimentary to the image - Nice One
Blimey... now that is weird, and to be honest not sure what to think
<edit> I can see the dogs confusion, very surreal Allan
Andy posts a murdered child and I'm weird
Ahhh good pointAndy posts a murdered child and I'm weird
Poor dogs ... must be worse than fireworks.
3 day test drive sounds like an idea.
That's very weird Allan but I love the look on the dogs face, and the overall total wackiness of the shot. Hope the curtains were drawn, your neighbours would be very worried if they looked in on that scene. I think this will end up being a very interesting topic.
The dog's expression is just funny to watch But... On a second glance, is that... an ood?
The expressions on the dog's faces really do make the shot don't they.
An Ood on the right, is that a Weeping Angel on the left? Where is the blue box?
I'm with @Dark Knight in not really knowing what to think
lolfair comment
Belter
It's a cross between Nosferatus and Monty Python
Really well set up, the dog's face a fantastic.
Best submission I've seen for a while.
Cheers.
Great fun, I can't add any critique, other than this is a great "decisive moment" shot. Congrats. [emoji4]
Not sure why/how I've missed this one but better late than never eh! Ah married life - perfectly normal scene in the alien, I mean Ayling, household. brilliant cover up for the theme.
Element - Nice and simple, tad grainy but it works on this image.
Seasonal - Different. Nicely lit and lovely detail
Full - Off centre of the box works really well as does the position/turn/face of it, nicely lit and again the b&w works really well for this image. As before makes the viewer look and think a lot. great shot
Habit - Perfect for me, detail in both the grainy table and the glass ashtray.
Covered - Fun, fits the theme in multiple ways. I like the 'cover' of the mag being 'black and white photography' and that you have done the conversion on this. The faces covered are sinister but very funny. If the dogs could speak eh? looks to be a perfect 'caption' image.
Hi Allan, I've a catch up to do on your thread
Problem is, I do 4 or 5 thread comments then feel knackered and ill because of the concentration needed to do them justice, so your's is my last for today I think.
Habit, nowt to criticise here, move along please The composition, lighting and detail you've captured are all spot on
Covered, what with Andy in trouble with the SS and you with the RSPCA it's been an eventful theme. Definitely surreal but the dogs' expressions and postures make the shot
I'd say more like stalking TBHCONNECTED
and anyway there was a spare shoehorn lying around someone had to make use of it
LOL. Good one.and anyway there was a spare shoehorn lying around someone had to make use of it
LOL. Good one.
Very nicely lit, nicely sharp. Another one where less is more.
Interesting take
wow lighting Allan
Lovely take on the theme. First class.
I do love a bit of light painting especially when it's done to this standard.
Bravo.
