weekly Clives 52 in 2021

[Roxanne Withy]

Brilliant photo. The colour palette from this image and the depth of field is perfect

 

[StuartPearson]

On my challenge catchup!!

Rough
Three interesting images, its amazing the variations you can capture with the cheap macro adaptors. I like number 3 the best, its the most pleasing to the eye

Smooth
Great contrast in colour, and perfect for the theme

Alive
There’s definetely signs of spring everywhere, well spotted and captured

 

[Nostromo]

Alive
Great shot of the bumblebee.

 

[susiejb]

I love this one, thats a really super shot Clive .... beautifully fresh and springlike, perfect for the theme.

 

[HelenC]

What else can I say. Fabulous shot all round Clive.

 

[Simonbrown16]

Great shot of the bee and really sharp too! Quite like how you can see all the pollen too.

 

[CliveH]

That's a cracking picture of the bumble, it fits almost completely within the depth of field.

Thank you Martin

Great image and wonderful to see. We'd also be in a pretty poor state without the bees, so Alive is very fitting I think. Love how the bee's colouration matches the blossom. Fantastic image Clive.

Thank you Ian

Those images for Rough are really interesting. Almost look like a shot through a microscope of something. I agree with others though - I can't look at them for long for some reason!
Smooth is a nice set. I too like the contrast in textures.
Brilliant image of the Bee. Great colour and detail.

Thank you Lee, I took the picture and I don't like looking at it either!

A nice close up of a Bee doing what bee's do Clive

Thank you Stuart, I'm not sure pleasing to the eye is the right term...maybe least disturbing.

Week 13 Easter

Oi Thomas, now do you believe me?

With a little help from my Granddaughter Sophie with make up and she took the picture.

 

[Cobra]

Nailed it



Cool make up

 

[ShinySideUp]

It's a bit grim but I can't say that it doesn't fit the theme.

 

[Boots]

Yuck! But well done.

 

[mdpF2]

Good idea and well shot!

 

[seaodyssey]

Hi Clive

Alive, a great shot of the Bee, I did try a similar shot, but the bee was around the back of the tree where I could not get to. then he buzzed off.

Easter, very realistic, not that I know what a nail in the hand looks like.

Pete

 

[-Oy-]

Eeeeeeeew

 

[Bebop]

Well done Sophie. I bet that was fun. Gruesome but definitely on them and dare I say, well executed?

 

[susiejb]

Ooooh that’s a bit gruesome, it actually looks very realistic with that pool of ‘blood’ it’s certainly an original take on the theme, well thought out.

 

[LC2]

Ouch !!!
Excellent work with the make-up.
We'll have you cosplaying before you know it !

 

[Harlequin565]

Very gruesome indeed!

 

[HelenC]

Its a yuck from me but definitely looks like fun!

Week 14 Spring and Technique Low Key

A spring from my soldering iron stand. Side lit from a window against a black tea cloth.

 

[Allan.H]

Really nice shot the first one like that a lot

 

[ShinySideUp]

Second one for me, in fact I might have come back a bit more.

 

[Boots]

Very nice use of the frame and negative space, especially the first one.

 

[HelenC]

Two nice shots. Am torn as #1 is more abstract (don't ask my why as I thought fish when I first looked at it) but I do like the texture of the cloth on #2.

 

[-Oy-]

No2 for me ta muchly

 

[seaodyssey]

Both spring shots are good, 2nd one is more pleasing, but the first is more abstract and can be improved by cropping that top part coil out.

Pete

 

[Nostromo]

Spring
Nicely off center and good light.
