I like that too, very nice details in the flowers, great Colour.

Works for me on both counts and I do like red geraniums, remind me of holidays in Austria.

 

[Phil S]

Colourful and nice contrast in the geraniums against the fence.

 

[LC2]

The Colour pop technique was the beginning of the year
It certainly does contrast with the grey (is that de-saturated?) of the door.

 

[Nostromo]

Patterns
Nice and bright, good technique too.

 

[Cloudforest]

Nicely shoehorned Pete, nice and colourful too.

Thanks Chris.

Thanchs Clive. They do look great on all those Austrian balconies.

Thanks Tim. No the grey isn't de-saturated, it's just badly painted by my other half!

Patterns
Nice and bright, good technique too.

Thanks Dominic.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Love the red just pops, very nice shot.

Week 33 Camouflage
An archive one for this - I didn't want to get too behind.

A US Army truck unsuccessfully hiding under a very small camouflage net.

I like your Graceful shot (I'd say it was in fact inspirational!) and the idea of Patterns works well.

 

[Nostromo]

Camouflage
What could be more camouflaged than an army truck.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Camo truck is a good image, liking the closer look too.

Thanks Bob. Much appreciated.

Camo truck is a good image, liking the closer look too.

Thanks Dave. It's quite a crop from the original but the background was quite distracting.

 

[seaodyssey]

Hi Pete

The US army truck is camouflarged, I too get distracting backgrounds when taking that kind of shot, I find too many people dressed in modern clothes are the main problem.

Pete

 

[CliveH]

Well it is camouflaged, not sure that bit of net will keep it hidden from above though.

Week 34 Tiny Poppy seeds

They sure are tiny compare to the pot. I found the shadows a bit too strong may be a different colour background would help.

 

[CliveH]

I like your shadows and the strong side lighting, also like the focus on the front of the pod.

 

[-Oy-]

Nicely done that

 

[Nostromo]

Tiny
It's an interesting shadow, it shows all the textures that don't show up so much on the pod itself (does that make sense?)

Thanks Stan. I really couldn't make my mind up about the shadow.

Thanks Dominic. I shot it with and without the shadow and thought it added a bit of interest to it.

Week 35 Snapper's Choice

To keep away from the crowds,we've been out walking some of the quieter places not too far from home lately.
I was a bit inspired by the Topographic Photography thread on here lately so this is an attempt to put my spin on it.

Shot by the River Idle in Nottinghamshire, an area where there are a number of power stations in close proximity.

Powerful image

 

[CliveH]

Well there are a lot of pylons there, very interesting shot and another nice b&w .

Thanks Clive. Don't think I've ever seen so many pylons in such a short distance.

Week 36 Texture

A beautifully carved stone tomb of a C14th knight.

[rpn]

Lots of details and texture in the carving. Amazing craftsmanship in those bygone years with basic tools.

 

[Cobra]

I really like these old carvings, well spotted and taken Pete

 

[-Oy-]

Nice one Pete

 

[Shugpug]

That's an great shot for texture - amazing to think that those textures have survived for ~600 years! Whenever I see something like this, I can't help but wonder how much stuff we are producing now will last that long.

I really like your camo shot as well - very nicely cropped.

 

[LC2]

Lots of nice texture. Does the hand bottom left belong to the angel/cherub top right?

 

[Fuji Dave]

Great carvings made to last, lovely detailed image.

 

[Phil S]

Nice texture on an interesting carving.

 

[FlyPhot]

I'm catching up a bit at the moment:

Tiny - very clever image, nicely lit and well composed
Snappers Choice - makes you stop and think, could we use buried cables rather than pylons? Nice image
Textures - very nicely lit, great colour warmth and right on theme

 

[Nostromo]

Choice
I like that, I might be tempted to crop a bit off of the bottom, just up to the dark bit of grass.

Texture
Great detail and lots of textures.

 

[gman]

Interesting subject and good texture. It must have taken a long time for that carving!
