That's kind of cool - see what I did

Is it really a clock in ice? Or some of that photoshop trickery?

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Fantastic idea for time good composition I like it, well done

It's in ice, took a while to get right 1st attempt was awful, had to defrost and start again

Thank you

 

[ShinySideUp]

Good alternative take on the theme, ice is very difficult to photograph but I think you've just about pulled it off.

 

[susiejb]

I did exactly the same thing but I didn't post it....bang on theme, and a great idea of course...as I thought of it as well

Hi Colin


neat idea for the theme....not something I've tried ( shooting an object in ice) so I'd say you've done well...you can still make out it's a clock
Crit wise...hmmm ,difficult one this......maybe needs a little more light though I appreciate this might cause highlights but wonder if it would accentuate the cracks/patterns in the ice ? Can see me having a play with this idea at some point just to see how difficult it is

 

[posiview]

Cracker, and well catutured. Looks a tad under exposed on my ipad.

Cheers.

Hi Colin great idea like it, agree about the slight lack of lighting though but appreciate the problems involved with that

 

[Allan.H]

Hi nice idea I am sure you are by now well aware of the slight lack of light
good effort

 

[Tango32]

a clock in ice fair play that a great idea as mentioned a touch more light and its perfect

 

[Dark Knight]

Very good idea Colin... I'm kinda hoping it was broken before you froze it

 

[parhole4]

No it cost £4 from Asda, I thought the face of the clock also looked old so added to the theme

 

[siblingchris]

well I hope you didn't knacker the watch but I do really like it - well done

 

[Judi]

Hi Colin.. first glance i thought it was a jellyfish, it fits the theme and not an easy subject well done

 

[parhole4]

Redo smoke, I enjoyed the smoke theme so thought I'd try again this time trying to incorporate the swirl theme into it.

Hi Colin


you're brave.....Smoke is not something I'll be trying again ! Love the color , nicely placed in the frame & Swirl is definitely there but looks a little soft

 

[Phil-D]

Great idea for time Colin, just enough of the clock showing through the ice

Re-shoot of smoke looks good to me .............I couldn't get anything like this

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Reshoot ( smoke ) - I love it nice colour, and nice swirly effect as well great work.

Hi Colin

Swirl - Yes a brave go again... is only a tad soft, but love the colour and composition, some good swirls and of course a great black background too

Thanks

 

[Delta Skies]

Just a bit soft but the colour chosen is nice and suits this type of image well.

 

[susiejb]

I'm a real fan of the smoke images so I love it....super choice of colour against a deep inky black background...and it's swirly too

Nice smoke and good choice of colour. I may have cropped a little more of the LHS otherwise good job

 

[parhole4]

Bit late with this one as I was away on a business course last week, so this is rushed, but better than not posting anything

Linked - I agree it does look a bit rushed, but it does fit the theme. I feel the image would work better if it was just the coloured paper clips.

 

[Judi]

Hi Colin
Linked... it fits the theme fine, clever idea, the focus is good and a nice black background

 

[posiview]

Hi, Linked is on theme but does feel rushed...as it was.

Cheers.

 

[blondie606]

Hi Colin


Linked....we all have post & be dammed weeks...one for a reshoot maybe ? Essentially it has the theme link,a bit of color interest & reasonable control of the shiny highlights....but you can do better

[Judi]

Hi Colin,
Steps....fits the theme well, I think that i might have cropped to get the bottom step parallel with the bottom of the frame, other wise great

 

[posiview]

Hi, on theme and I like the wet steps. Quite a few distractions, though. Shallower DOF maybe.

Cheers.

 

[Allan.H]

Hi, as said fits the theme top right bush is really distracting though

 

[Tango32]

Linked - good detail and the back round works well a bit more time and you could improve it Colin

Steps - Not working for me I am afraid lots going on in there and it looks a bit untidy - can see where you were going with it but think a bit more planning would really improve this shot

I have to agree with the above.
