Hi Brian, excellent DoF on the chilli shot and i suppose it fits the theme
A guy I work with does all this running in the dark woods thing, iron man events and triathlons tires me out just listening to him
Couldn't figure out how it fit the theme but got it after reading your description. Feet on the wet ground is a good take!
Hi Brian ... love your chilli shot .... lots of lovely colour, shiny objects, shallow DOF into bokeh.
I guess as your feet and legs probably got most of the mud it was a pretty topical application too...!
Hmm, bit of shoehorn??? Looks very muddy, wet and you needed a nice cuppa after that run.
Ppppsssstt, can you like to the current submission in the No Comments thread , time is precious
Cheers.
Danger - I do like your take on the theme, good colours. I myself am not really a chilli fan, but I hope you enjoyed the tasting.
Topical - a well taken image, but not really working for the theme for me sadly. But feet up and rest for a week, till the next theme comes out.
Hi Jeff,
Danger - On theme with the Chilli, but that's not what makes the shot in my opinion. There is so much going on that it just dras you in and makes you keep coming back (I think it's all the spoons).
Topical - Not really sure what to make of it, but if it's topical for you then it's topical I hope your washing machine copes with all the mud!
Really like the Danger shot - that chilli could easily catch some poor unsuspecting person out. Excellent Dof and brilliantly vibrant image. Weather is always Topical - in fact we Brits are known for talking of hardly anything else, so spot on for the theme.
Topical goes heart of the challenge for me, it's your challenge and so it's your topical, as you say it also refers to wider topical issues so a good take on theme.
Hi Brian I like you image for danger, love the colours and DOF my only slight niggle is the brightness of the spoon in the centre pot it appears to be quite a lot brighter and draws my eye to it
Dangerous.....That looks like a very interesting little taster selection!
Topical....Would work well for camouflage too!
Hi Brian ....great shot for Dangerous ...I love the composition ....we love chilli too, but not tooooo hot.
Topical certainly works for me with all the wet weather we've been having.
I'm loving the chillie and marmalade shot too, the oof spoon handles really add to the image for me, as do the vibrant colours, real nice idea
Hi Brian... this echos one thought I had on Danger:I'd probably look for a touch more DOF so all of that front row of jars and spoons are in focus, but it's still a very pleasing image. I like the colours, the composition and the overall take for the theme (and I love chilli!) Well done
Topical - who am I to complain about leg shots?! Despite the explanation, I'm not seeing as strong a link to the theme, but that's my fault. I do find the drain cover top left of frame and the reflective strips a touch distracting, but it's a hard theme this week...
Damgerous feels more like a challenge but like the dof.
Topical is as topical does. If it's topical to you then it is topical. Sounds like you've had a hard time of it
Ps, your link takes me to the first page of your thread and not the current theme.
Like the idea. A simple clean, as no other distractions or elements, image. I suppose running is also very topical the few months after the new year.
LOL now you mention itbut looks like Spongebob to me.
That makes me smile too Brian, great spot
Too my eyes a tighter crop might be slightly better, it feels like there is too much dead space at the bottom (but what do I know?)
Nothing concrete to base it on (groan) but looks like Spongebob to me. Great find Brian - such a nice fun image - gives every impression of being alive.
As Carl says thats a great find and really does look like he his smiling. Made me smile too.
Gaz
Always strange to see a photograph taken when you were there. Great eye to notice this one, Brian.
Cheers.
That rocks Very well spotted
LOL now you mention it
TBH he looks stoned to me
Well spotted Brian
