Hi and thank you George.Very nice shot Sir, well composed, good exposure, and some nice colours.
George.
Thanks AllanGood start, that yellow house stands out a bit
Cheers ChrisReally like that, lovely colours, interesting skyline, nicely framed.
Good things come to those who wait. And after trekking across Hammersmith bridge twice yesterday the clouds opened a little for a few seconds, illuminating those facades nicely.Typical flat sky and rubbish weather of late I see....
Not sure about the edit tho.....
Lol . I can see what he means lovely colourful shot.
Nice shot to start your 2018 challenge. Good composition with the scene divided into thirds.
week 0 - round your area, a great start to your challenge some nice interesting looking buildings in the image.
Like that shot best David. Lovely sky and I like the three horizontals in the composition
Cheers DaveYour area, a nice colourful shot David plus a good sky too.
Hi Mark ... thank you, I like that illustration effect edit too ... had to post that link.Very nice start to your 52 David love the colours and I actually like the edit too
Hello there Lee and thank you. Not much blue but there is a bit.Good shot David. Nice to see some bright colours and a bit of blue sky.
Thanks Andrea. Yes it's a sandwich with a lot up top, I don't normally do 'scapes, skies and things like that.Nice start, Dave A super moody sky above, while the light on the front of the buildings brings out the brighter colours, all sandwiched by some very cold-looking water.
Path makes a nice lead in.
Like your idea of a close-up shot and the inclusion of the padlock. I also agree with your thought of sharper background to give more context to the subject.
I think you did the right thing, the inclusion of the path along with the padlock gives it a sense of story, nicely done.
Gate, a good shot showing the shiny new lock and good dof to keep all in focus. Composition of the pathway is very nice and helps lead the eye past the gate, with a dash of blue sky to boot
The dark bars and the bright padlock grab the eye straightaway, David, and the gap between the bars is lined up nicely with the curve in the path to lead you through the scene. Some attractive glimpses of green leaves and blue sky in the distance cap it all off very well; works for me
Good shot and on theme D,I like the padlock inclusion...
Firsdt thing that truck me was the lock too. Good piece of composition to use both the path and the locking bar to lead to the lock
You managed to find some blue too !
Hi David, good idea to get as much in focus as possible, oof would looked to busy in the bg I think. I would try a portrait orientation/crop of it.
Nice view of Hammersmith for your area.
I like your gate, and the bright lock.
Its a gate, I do agree its such an uncomplicated theme, the close up works and with the in focus BG its kind of inviting you in
Like it with the padlock, simple and effective take on the theme.
Hi David,
your area - very nicely done and what an unusual collection of different buildings.
gated - I like that this is a close up of the gate. It really works to make you want to go into the park
Gate(d) - a good close up shot and the angle you have shot the image at works well.
Path makes a nice lead in.
child's eyeI like this one. It gives the impression as though you're going through the gate from a child's eye level.
An interesting shot - I keep trying to imagine the shallow dof version and work out whether I'd have preferred it!
A nice shot of Hammersmith, great light, great sky
As for you gate shot, sometimes it's nice not to have a shallow DoF. Works very well here, with the path leading the eye into the picture being entirely sharp.
Thank for the pleasing comments guys.HI David love the compostion you've used on Gate(d) the inclusion of the path really pulls you trough the gate and into the picture the padlock really helps you know its a gate your looking trough.
