Good man!!! Someone had to do it and you stepped up and showed the forum members what you're made of......
Literally
Stark
Well, well, well what have we got here then.
Well done Dave, now it's been done it can't be undone.
So brave, so cold
Erm not sure what to say Brave brave man well done certainly on theme
"Excellent" Stark shot Sir, took me a bit by surprise but really works well.
George.
Don't give up the day job.
10 out of 10 for being brave.
Cripes. I was wondering if someone would go down this route.....certainly on theme. I'll go wash my eyes out now....
Blimey Dave that took some courage, to say it took me by surprise is an understatement, very brave and definitely on theme!
Hi Dave, I like both your gate shots but I'll go for the 2nd one as I like the fact that it is straight on. Very fancy gate too. I really like the 1st picture of the people in masks. I love that he is looking right at you and he is straight on with the others side on, nice dof too. Not sure there's a lot I can say about stark, I was pre-warned by the comments in the discussion thread. Very brave but please don't do it again
right on theme, very brave figured someone might do and knew it wasn't going to be me.
Ah right, I get it now.
Not for me this one I'm afraid Dave. It really needs a focal point. the leading lines don't really lead anywhere, just off into the distance.
For the theme title I suppose the rugby shot would be the one I would choose but it’s not a good conversion the greys are pretty much the same makes it look very flat
I agree with @LC2 about the lack of focal point in the first one, sorry Dave
Hi Dave - Not a lot more I can add to the above really, I certainly prefer the first shot as it is brighter and nice to see some green in these gloomy days, oh and of course box well and truly ticked
Over - I agree the second one is a bit flat it may work better in colour
First one for me, does the job for the theme. I'd crop a chunk of the RHS on the second and has been said, brighten it up a bit
The tree shot is good and colourful, but would probably work better when they're in leaf.
I like the first Over shot Sir, not one of your strongest ever shots but definately fits the theme.
George.
Hi Dave, stark, so glad you got the exposure just right!
Over - not much I can add to what's been said already, the second image would be the one I would go for as well but agree with the comments about it looking a little flat.
I have to say I like the rugby shot but personally i'd have tried to boost the contrast a bit
Hi Dave
For me all three fit the theme, the rugby one least of all, overcast day is a bit of a cop out as it's so normal this time of year.
The other 2 are nice colourful shots, tree are growing over which is fine but does need a stronger focal point rather than what appears to be the public loos in the distant.
Pete
HI Dave I think I'd pick No 2 out of the 3 for over as has been mentioned it could do with a bit more punch.
