Agree with Lee here Ian, nothing wrong with that at all, I really like the unusual angle, the DoF bang on the spider is just right
Ian I love your geometric, such a good idea and lovely composition
I would have preferred black but it's all I had at hand, I had to use something otherwise it looks stripped.It's a thumbs up from me too. Although I find the purple a but off putting.
A big from me too, they're not easy things to capture and you've made a great job with that one. the only thing not too sure about the background colour, it just looks a bit unnatural. But a great shot and perfect for the theme
Ooops just saw the reply above ref the colour, sometimes we just have to go with what we've got and well done for not knocking the web down with the card , I've done that more than once !
Hi Ian. Great bg colour - makes the image stand out. Entirely meets the theme and an excellent image all told.
Hi, really like the shot for Geometric, the BG colour is superb and the angle you shot the web at, very good
Hi Ian ... I love this one, its simple but effective, the addition of the child's tiny feet make it a very appealing image.... an excellent choice for the theme.
Hahaha, what a nice warm feely shot. Good story in there, Well done.
Hi, did think about Converse too as my partner Jane has a couple of pairs but as I did it last year thought better of it
but a good idea and well thought out
thanks everyone, surprising difficult topic this week, when I saw it I had loads of ideas but making them happen is a lot harder!Awe cute. Nice idea too.
Hi Ian. Trainers make a fashion statement like nothing else these days - well chosen and nicely executed.
Thanks guys. As a few others have said if you saw me you'd know fashion isn't me, can't be arsed with itBelter, really like the perspective and muted colours.
Cheers.
Aw! Definitely the first two - lovely portraits. Think I prefer the softer contrast in the second. Great takes.
(Why the sunglasses in #3 - suffering with CATaracts perhaps?)
Hey Ian those first two are excellent. ... and cat improvisation for good measure, I like the rule of two thirds or whatever you've done there.
Fashion - Love the simplicity of this shot, and Converse are definitely in Fashion
Love the first two, they are cracking portraits
Maybe the third one would have appealed more if it had been some kind of poultry
I like the first 2, they both look very chilled. I like the contrast of the "cat" against the darker background.
Thanks Susie they have their momentsTwo super Chilled out children there Ian, they look gorgeous. The cat made me smile ...love the fun side of that one peeping in from the corner. Super choices for the theme
Thanks Stan, indeed a bit of TV before bed. I think it was the Clangers.Love the first two, were they glued to the TV?
Chill 3 wins it for me, for it's simplicity and impact.
I appreciate the effort that must have gone into the 2 portrait shots as children can be sooo hard to capture naturally. It makes me glad that 99% of my subject matter isn't people related.
Hi, chilled 1 for me focus looks perfect on the eye and he does look chilled
Chill #1 for me I really like the intense stare
#1 for me, I like the light.
Last 1 for me, Great shot, lovely light and fun too!
Hi Ian, two adorable shots of your kids for Chilled. #1 just has the edge for me, but I love both and what a great contrast with #3 - really made me smile!
