Well I certainly prefer the edit, the top bits sure do distract once somebody has pointed them out, great alignment still, and real glad you kept with individual sides rather than just flipping one half
I like. Alot. Flipping in pp would have been easier.
what about.... b&w pencils and colour tips?

Yup. Quick polish was all that as needed.
Cheers.
Sense: Oh man! both such amazing pictures. The cathedral composition is spot on and the effect makes it looks so gothic and sinister which I love. The inclusion of the red carpet (with symbols) along the bottom makes the shot for me. Feet is really nice too. To think you've used your hand to create these is amazing, shows your artistic ability and strong sense of achieving correct perspective.
Ending: Another cool shot. The surface youve placed the cutlery on is awesome. The reflections its created on the bottom of the spoon is excellent. Good thinking Iain.
Positive: Really clever stuff, and again super creative and inspiring. I like the colour version (re-edited) over the b&w. THe colour version I can see on the living room wall of a modern minimilist house, the b&w I cant. Maybe just me but the b&w just serves to flatten the picture and dampen its interest.
Really good work as always and a fine collection demonstrating much competence and consistancy
Hi Iain....I have to echo Jason's thoughts above...that would make a great picture on the wall...stunning colours, and sooooo much patience went into it I'm sure. I'm very envious of your creativity.....a super shot .
Hi iain
Ending: the edit says "win" if you squint a bit (I like a bit of squinting I do )
and
Positive: Again with the edit? what is this? design by committee? have you lost your confidence? - Anyway, you got there in the end... another cracker mate, love it!
oh bu99er - note to self don't get behind!!!
cathedral is great - this isn;t a single shot is it?? stitched panorama? If so you're obviously working your poor computer hard... HDR panos are quite intensive!! great result though.
great allignment on the cutlery ends, to get them all into the narrow DOF you have there. like the detail of the base too. (actually prefer the original composition, knife fork and spoon)
love the pencils... do we see a new defaults subject, although as you have so many they can't all be a default now can they
edit of the face to face I think is an improvement, although I do like the zip in the stripy jumper - nice touch with the sharpener too.
Lovely colourful Positive and a good take on the theme.
Hi Iain
Positive - I have not had much inspirational thoughts for this theme and I would never ever have come up with a thought that leads me to yours - very creative. Has to be the colour version by miles - and the edit does make the understanding that they are faces a bit more immediate. Excellent work
Hi Iain your edit is great nice and colourful interesting take on the theme, I might have been tempted to post it in landscape format rather than portrait
Hi Iain
sorry for being late....again !
I love watching your thread....your imagination & patience is flippin amazing ! The edit as mentioned works better ( thought I loved the original as well ) . Can't add crit as none to be given....just
No worries Lynne
Thanks for looking in and commenting, much appreciated
Not quite up there with Neil's @Mentalblock epic pencil shoot but I am pleased with the outcome of these.
Didn't now you could tag people now!
Glad you did though Iain, the pencil shot is great.
Ending - #2 for me. I love the image and feel to this. The added symmetry makes it stand out from #1
Positive - The old 101 uses of coloured pencils trick LOL. The colour version definitely works better than the mono conversion. #2 is better as it has lost some (although not all) of the bluish tinge towards the top.
You need to get that dog off your lens, it'll not do it any goodmaybe a different lens as the dog on my 105 macro lens is scary shallow.

Loving the pencil shot. How long did that take to set up? My only gripe is the yellow pencil close to the top on the right where the tip bit is darker than the rest! It bothers my OCD!!! Only a little bit though, still a great shot.
Different take on the theme Iain, it fits for me think I'd have guessed your interpretation without the explanation........and no.......I've never been in Strangeways
Good pp skills , I'm guessing its one hand and bar mirrored, but can't tell which one
Really like this well thought out,nice and gritty as well.....screaming out for the LOVE / HATE knuckle tats
Great take on the theme works really well for me good composition.
Great original idea ..... and yes the picture tells the whole story ..... excellent again !
This is why I'm so rubbish at commenting as I spend so long reading through everyone's posts!Damn autocorrect
Trust you to spot that though, you're trouble
Nah, just use the text tool, free transform to rotate, resize and fit, tweak the colours a bit and your done! Obviously that all sounds so easy in my head!Adding knuckle tats in pp would be way beyond my skill set

Time, like it. Your thumbs look a little odd to me, not sure if it's due to the processing and DOF combined?

Now what's this about you getting a new camera?
