Hi David
How's it going!
Entertain.... I like this, they say its always the simplest shots don't they! I like the semi uniformity of the checker board effect given by the cobble stones and nice that you have them sitting diagonally don't think they would have had half the impact square on. Like the contrast between the vivid greens and the cobbles really works well. Nice textures in the cobbles too. Great subtle relationship to the theme
.
Spiral..... I think you have captured the feeling of spiral without actually showing one (well a full spiral) which is great. The treads radiating out from the central spine look great almost like the spokes of a wheel, and the way the treads converge to the spine sort of draws you in. I just had a total mental block on spiral now I see them everywhere!
Spiral 2, nice to see the other POV and it always fascinates me that manufactures still cast text into there castings just like the good old days
.
Silhouette .... On a positive note I have written silhouette so many times now I can actually spell it correctly
I think you have done an outstanding job considering its hand held! Most shots you see like this the camera is sitting on the tripod! (Mine are almost permanently on one).
Its a nice crisp, sharp image with a nice background.... if I were to be picky I'd whip out the cloning tool and have that white splodge away under the main barrel of the lens, other than that spot on
.
Well Packaged
Animal .... Definitely a variation on the theme
. Very nice sharp shot all nicely in focus, nice colour and dare I say texture. I think your background is well chosen so as not to give any nasty surprise reflections and is nice and flat which picks out the subject nicely!
Medical .... My My we do have a lot in common! I'm also a Technical Consultant, and I work in West London ..... And I'm a Nikon'ite .... But my poison is Lansoprazole same but different
. Personally I prefer Blue rather than Salmon Pink tablets
.
Anyhow enough waffle! Nice tight crop fills the frame, with a no nonsense image, Nice and sharp, sort of a random composition but then I'm about as arty as a Bulldozer. not that I feel the composition detracts. Fits the theme well and a nice shot..... Works for me
.
Proverb .... No1 one gives me that psychedelic feely, but its not quite scorched my retinas
. Nicely set up and executed.
No2 Think this one works better for me, Cleverly thought out, and lighting nicely controlled. Really like the reflection in the polished wooden surface, and good use of DOF.
All the best
