Ah now I threatened that I'd post on your thread didn't I, Ian
Medical .... Really nice bright bold colours, sharp focus. Didn't know they did Nurofen in shots like Calpol! Anyhow well lit, nice composition, just needs a tweak clockwise.
Proverb .... Like this shot a lot, nice composition. I think the selective colour really works well, I guess its a marmite thing though
. I like it here. Think the DOF is working well for you, but think those specular highlights on the foot of the glass are a little distracting, if I had my really picky with my OCD hat on I'd say the glass is off centre on the table in those little circles
that's just Tooooooooooo Picky
(OCD hat off).
Stoned .... ooppsss! I mean
Pale. Got to be No2 for me. Minimalist, some light texture in the stone, maybe a small pile of 3 little stone might have anchored it and made it less floaty not sure... Nice clean shot fits the theme well.
Tear .... I can see the tracks of his tears (that was a song wasn't it!). Anyhow what I would try is this .... Get your camera all set up with the remote release, because it might be good to be quick. Then I'd use some glycerine in an eye dropper as its much thicker than water and less likely to soak in so quickly. Just a thought.
Think you needed a little more light on the LH side to pick it up a tad.
Tear ..... As in paper, I like v2 but for me the DOF is much too sharp, the thing that hits me is the top of the curl and as you follow the curl around is OOF IMHO. So all that detail of the tear in the curls has been lost. The point of focus is halfway along the tube which puts the tear OOF and most of the texture of the paper OOF too.
Words ... I really like this, with Carl on this one. Like the story, really nice sharp focus in the right place, door has some nice character, if I was going to say anything just a smidge less aperture, or point of focus a tad to the left pick up the "Mr". But a cracking shot
Words 2 ... a very happy chappy he would have my donation any day, am sure it makes a big difference if you have a nice chatty person making collections. Spot on DOF here. Very nice shot, nice and colourful too
Support .... Bugger another idea gone
. I'm with the first image as it stands, but then David's version of the image is really nice as Susie says lots of oommhhh!
I really quite like the background and the lighting on this. I think this stand on its own 3 feet
. Nice shot, I'm afraid No2 doesn't do it for me, too much of the subject material missing.
Religion ....Great take on the theme! Yes No 1 for me to great contrast, and shadow, like the muted lighting on the point of focus.
See it wasn't too bad was it.... I'm taking the medication today
Hope you find some of this inane babble useful.
