I'm on my iPhone but the detail looks great as does the textures and muted colours.
Ps I love my iPad
Why didn't I think of that - got a few of these in the garage. Great detail and like the combination of textures in the stand and wall.
Oh dear... your only just back in the 52 and I'm behind already - Doh :banghead:
Pale - Liking the shell mate, but it appears to be floating... still good detail and a real good white background
Pale 2 - Ahhhhh that's more like it, really like this one, Looooooads of white on white, especially like the edges of the spoon how the shades change
Tear - Well... the crowbar had to come in at some time, a real nice image although feel you could lose the foreground so the lake was lower... I love the sun rays coming out of the clouds and the murky reflection on the water, the jetty and other bits make a real sad face too
Words - Oh My... and there was me worried about opening posts on Andy's thread :nailbiting:
Support - Not so sure on the crop mate, would much prefer a landscape, but loving the idea, nice strong light, great shadow, nice low perspective and the rusty detail on the stand is luuuuvly - nice one
Ah nice work Brian
So taking it from the top
Medical .... Or is that Animal. Nice shot Great colour (you must be shooting with a Nikon) and nice composition, like the way it fills the whole frame (apart from the decapitated Cow bar an ear). Grass in the foreground looks a bit mooooted.
Proverb.... OK so the work server canned the video file so I'm going to look at the Selfie and use my imagination, must be great to fly Balloons!
Pale .... Nice shell and it is indeed very pale. I don't think its too floaty as there's a slight greyscale in the card, there is a bit of a hotspot on the top LH of the crown of the shell, bit of burning in PS would calm that.
Pale2 the sequel... Nice very Subtle! Nice soft shadow too and not a grain of sugar in sight!
Tear.... Cracking I'm a sucker for crepuscular rays. I really like the cotton wool cloud reflection in the Reservoir and you guardian angel. I think I'd just lose a bit off the bottom to loose the distracting road. Mind you that's a hard call as you'd still have the roundabout or you'd loose too much, can that idea then. Glorious streaming sky, nice light.
Words.... Its (Monty Pythons Flying Circus?) I guess that's a tongue in cheek shot? Works for me!
Support.... Really nice shadow, pulls the whole shot together for me, Spot on lighting and focus, great texture in the brickwork makes a cracking background! Might just snip the bottom OOF bit off other than that spot on.
Hi Brian, Support: Great simple idea that's come off really well . Lovely shadows and textures. I'd agree with @Dark Knight regarding the landscape. If you had the space maybe pull it out from the wall a few inches.
Hi Brian, perfect object for support I suppose photographing it in it's natural habitat was the only option, I do like a harsh shadow
... another one liking Support .... industrial setting, super low POV, shadow on the bricks works just great.
Hi Brian
I'm with Dean on the Support shot, I'd prefer to see it in Landscape format. Lots of detail there though but find the top of the shot a little dark and therefore distracting.
Religion - I like the light hitting the side of the church but for me the compostion would have been better with the church further to the left and a panoramic crop. Just personal taste though and, as you say, it's ticked off. I have themes like that when I just find it a bit bleugh and uninteresting
Hi Brian. Great write-up - nice to have the story behind the shot. It is a delightful image of a beautiful English village. Lighting is lovely but would crop out the field at the bottom and give the church a left hand bias in terms of it's position within the frame. Like it regardless.
Hi Brian love the shot for Support, simple composition but lots of lovely rusty texture and colour with the wall and the OOF bit at the bottom, one of the weeks favourites for me.
Very nice light on the Religion one ...a perfect English country scene.
Very different viewpoint on the church rather than the usual from the ground level. Nice scenic and an usual looking building. I've been on hot air balloon twice before and enjoyed both time. The landing of my first outing was quite rough and bumpy with the basket almost turned up-side-down.
I'd really like to get a similar perspective, not keen on the central placement, but must be good to be up there
Cheers.
Hmmm ... maybe a bit off the RHS & bottom.
Maybe a contender for the tilt-shift treatment.
Hi there Brian,
Tear: Good spot on the jetty and boats. A good amusing take on the theme
Words: More clever thinking. Great bit of extra pp on the eye too. Did the pen ink taste nice?
Support: Great simple shot and bang on the theme. Very clever choice of prop too
Religion: Nice shot. A wonderful perspective. I wonder if a tighter crop would suit? Maybe remove a bit off the RHS and bottom? A balloon trip is something I must try one of these days...
A nice PoV that's for sure, shame about the urbanisation around it, could you not make the red bricks and roof tiles Yellow
Hehe I like words but then I get the feeling I like something different in my photography I also like the sad face in tear nicely shoehorned, personally I can never get shots like that work, composing them can be tricky and this was nicely done.
Support I like the inclusion of the shadow it adds to the picture and the brick background really works for me.
As the others have said great PoV on religion. Hope you enjoyed the ballon ride [emoji3]
Hi Brian, I would put the church on the right side of the frame as the fields to the right seem very empty, very jealous of the point of view though
I feel your pain though, its been strange subjects all year
Hi Brian
Religion : A nice perspective, I did wonder how you got it, I thought it was from a drone until I saw your later posts about being in a balloon. Nice and bright and looks nice there
Geometric : Reminds me of a kaleidoscope, nice colours and bang on theme. I like it
Very apt and nice pp work. I like the colour and focus point.
Hi Brian. I cannot express the extent of my disappointment with you. You promised to present a Geometric image that would challenge mine for bottom slot and then you post something like this - Pah ! It's yet something else that I would never have thought of for this theme and Wow, that is an amazing shot - a wonderful abstract.
Blimey ... whatever it is it's Geometric. Top macro. Isn't nature wonderful!
Well although not a fan of marmite I like your picture, good colours and textures and very geometric
Brian. Your geometric shot is excellent. I love the colours.
I really like the shot you've taken for support too, brilliant in it's simplicity.
Hi Brian ...great shot for Geometric ...it IS a photograph. it's just that's been turned into a work of art I never mind photos that are fiddled with, why not, we're creating an image pleasing to the eye and that's pleasing.
And no doubt the original was amazing ...
