[DowntonMini]

Abundance - Nicely set up I just prefer the the Mono version

Heavy - Great take on the theme wish my scales said that when I stand on them!

 

[Fuji Dave]

Excellent idea for the theme, symmetrica too but can't help but think a splash of colour would boost it, ie bright red socks.

Heavy

Long gone are the days that I weighed under 11st.

I think i like this I black and white.

Thank you folks for the comments.

Chucked it down with snow, so here is my wet theme, two of so one colour and one mono. The mono one I wanted it to look grey as the weather was wet grotty and gey

Nice shots Dave. I prefer the one in colour, the mono shot is a little dark for me and I like the colour of the water in the first shot

Thank you Craig for the comment, and for looking.

Definitely more impact in colour Dave, and the closer crop allows the water to fill the frame. Good colour too.

 

[seaodyssey]

More Contrast in the colour Image Dave, tighter crop helps too.

Colour for me too. I like that you can see the droplets of spray, seems right for the theme.

I like the BG of the mono one but the colour of the colour.

[Allan.H]

Not convinced by the B+W conversion Dave so will have to be the colour one for me

 

[brrnd]

Abundance - Well composed and arranged, I prefer the colour version
Heavy - Great idea, it might be even better with a splash of colour, and who steps on the scales with their shoes on?
Wet - The colour version! The B&W looks a bit flat to me

[Baloo]

Oh dear, I prefer the mono! Really like the background and the little reflections or ripples at the back of the shot.

Juxtaposition on the Roles of Men and Women in Egyptian times. Tutankhamun and Nerftiti were total opposites of each other in power. Shoehorn maybe/maybe not. PS: I wanted the main focus on Nefertiti.

 

[Allan.H]

I am not really sure what juxtaposition means even after looking at numerous definitions so I will take your explanation as for the pic I might have taken the pics separately and made the left hand figure a similar size to the other one wouldn’t bother with the black and white/colour thing

Thank you Allan, I looked all over Google for different takes and got lost on them too, one that sticks to mind is. A photo of a horse and rider being led down a mountain path, juxtaposition of the scale of the mountain and folk against the backdrop, so my shot is on male/female power and size scale juxtaposition

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

I think you've done well with these Juxtaposition shots Sir, they are certainly on theme and in keeping with the meaning of the word.

George.

 

[susiejb]

Hi Dave I prefer the first one ...its a stinker of a topic isnt it, very difficult to find a good definition so well done for thinking that one out.

Thank you Susie for the comment, agree it`s a hell of a theme.

 

[Manxmaid]

A catch-up from me Dave, as I haven't been looking at other threads while trying to get my own up to date so you've added four since my last visit. Time flies!

Abundance is very effective and conveys the theme very well. You can't go wrong with a load of shiny things on a black background and I think I just prefer the contrast and tones of the B&W version, although the warm tones of the other version also work well.
Heavy is simple and definitely effective in meeting the theme, and mono works well to concentrate the eye straight on the dial.
Wet - I prefer the colour version because of the lovely blues. The B&W looks quite flat and doesn't work so well for me, but both capture the life in the moving water.
Juxtaposition is a tricky theme, and I remember the debate when it came up a few years ago too. I think it's mainly about contrast and difference and you've conveyed that here with the male/female thing as well as a clear contrast in size and also the power aspect you mention in your text

 

[-Oy-]

Well thought out for the trickiest theme so far

Thank you Dave for the comment, it is a theme I have never really liked but glad I got a shot in.

 

[Minx]

Wet - I like the colour version much more than the black and white.
Juxtaposition - I prefer the all colour version to the selective black and white

 

[rpn]

I know not a lot about ancient Egyptian history so can't comment on the Juxtaposition theme but image-wise I agree with Allan about the size of the figures but even closer together with more space on the left and right sides.
