Week 22: Weathered Surfaces

Amazing how a plain white-ish wall can have so much interest and character. Well spotted.

 

[NickD]

There's loads of interest in that, for something that seems so simple at first glance.

 

[Kell]

That's a really pleasing image.

That sounds like I'm underselling it, I'm not.

Very nice.

 

[Darkslinger]

Great image love how the light plays across the wall

 

[cuthbert]

Thank you everyone, I love how light can make something so mundane quite curious!

I really like the weather surface image - lots of texture - works really well.

 

[Boots]

Two effective images. I really like your Silence image - without using any obvious cues, you have captured the essence of the theme.

 

[AlanDorset]

You have caught the simplicity of a building to match a theme again, nice

 

[Darkslinger]

I like your weathered shot Mark, but I really like your silence shot.

Always worth a Gander

 

[Barney]

Nice strong shapes there Mark, great Impact and nice shadows. Lovely photo.

 

[NickD]

I like that. It has a security camera feel to it.

 

[nog]

Nice gaggle there, great shadows

 

[cuthbert]

Thank you! I was going for quietly surreal, some kind of bad dream, the fact that they are an odd subject to use direct hard flash on makes it quite unsettling. I was torn between that and the colour version, which I will post in a bit

 

[AlanDorset]

Surreal and security camera vibe , really interesting treatment, I like it.

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, love your snapper's shot Mark! You could have used that one for the repetition challenge!

 

[cuthbert]

Thank you!!

Here's the colour version

I like the pop of the beaks, but for b&w edit just feels a bit stranger to me, What do you think?
