Thanks Pete. Yes it’s not that obvious is it? I was surprised how oily and shiny it was under the macro lens.Nice neat shot. I wondered what it was at first sight
Thanks. I was amazed when someone pointed it out - that there is a rabbit when you split a peanut. Unfortunately my packet were nearly all in halves already and the rabbits weren’t great ha ha! So this isn’t a great example.Both great shots Bebop. I've never heard of the peanut nub(?) being called a rabbit before but I can see why when I look at it with that in mind.
What a lovely storyMany years ago, I showed a little Greek girl the bunny in the peanut. She's getting married this autumn!
Thanks. Your life will never be the same You’ll have to crack a few open for better examples.Both good shots! I've never noticed rabbits in peanuts - now I can't unsee it!
Thanks Pete. I was hoping I'd broaden someone's horizons ha ha!Very nicely done Bebop. I’m another who didn’t know about the rabbits. I need to go out and buy a packet today.
Ha ha! I love it! It is too easy, I agree. I use a little dish (ramekin) rather than take the packet with me.I use the bunnies to slow my peanut consumption down. It's all too easy to scarf them down by the handful but halving them to see the bunny makes a small bowlful (and I do mean SMALL!) last for most of a large (and I do mean LARGE!) Ouzo!
Thanks Simon. It was a fabulous sky this morning.Both nicely done Bee. Certainly an unusual and good perspective, accentuating the fabulous cloud patterns!
Thanks Peter. Yes there's not much in it. I think I was getting caught up in the detail! I did go a bit wobbly ha ha!That's creative for someone on crutches. Not much difference between the 2 on my screen, slightly prefer the first.
Well done to get out and keep the theme going.
Phew! Thanks @Nod I did use a very long shoehorn to get my shoes on all by myself today for the outingI prefer the first too.
Post or pole? I'd say it's close enough - a loop to help pull on a shoe rather than a proper shoehorn!!!
I did use a very long shoehorn
Thanks Donal. Actually the clouds seem to line up with the cables in the first one, now I look!Both nice. I love the claustrophobic effect of the clouds. Very unusual. I think that I prefer the first one.
Thanks Pete. I did try to bring up the shadows on the post in post so you could see more of it.Nicely done Bebop. That’s a lovely strong perspective on the post and I think leaving the trees in helps. The second shot is my preference. The different contrast seems to bring out the textures a little more on my screen.
Thank you Bill, you are very kind. Yes I did wonder if I was taking too much noir/black out of it with my own processing. Sometimes you look at things for too long and it's hard to tell. I'm still undecided.What a great shot Bebop, so well composed with the lines dividing the image up into (almost) equal quadrants. It makes for a pleasing image.
I don't find the tree distracting and I think that it adds some visual interest. The clouds are fantastic.
I, personally, like the first processing better. I find the blacker blacks of the noir effect more interesting.
Thank you Helen for your kind comment. Sometimes I just can't tell which looks best, or I change my mind each time I look at it!Great composition and processing. You've captured a fabulous sky too. I think I actually prefer the higher contrast of #1
Of the 2, definitely the abstract condensation one - which I really like! Doesn't need an obvious point of interest IMO.
Thank you both for the positive response. I feel better about it now The terrapin was a bit boring, and the water seemed a risky choice.Exactly, it's abstract. Good idea and the macro lens did you proud.
I think you picked the right one. Really like the condensation shot
Thank you both kindly. I’m glad it was intriguing, even if there wasn’t a focal pointI agree with your choice. The condensation shot makes you want to keep looking to find out what it is.
Thanks Simon. I think maybe the red from the curtains (which was accidental!) helps make it a bit different.I really like the condensation picture it's quite different from what other people have submitted.
Thank you so much Bill. I am feeling a bit better about it now - I thought maybe the ruby line helps bring your eye in.Really like the abstract nature of your chosen shot Bebop. I think that it's much better than "mediocre"....just sayin'...
I really like the abstract condensation pic too. The colours make it work beautifully.
Thank you both kindlyYou chose the right one for me Bee, although the terrapin shot is neat too!
Thank you HelenI'm with you on the choice. There isn't a single point of interest but when you look closely the droplets create all sorts of images. I like it.
