Thanks SimonI like it. It's like a silhouette, which I think is great. Nice long lengths on the subject and indeed B&W works well.
Thanks SusieThe minute I saw this one I loved it and I looked at my giraffe thinking...'why didn't I think of that', although I'm sure I could not have achieved such a perfect white background. A very eye catching image ... super composition and a great choice for the theme
Hahaaaaa very good pointHi Dean,
The 1st one gets my vote, with the background cleaned up, perhaps if he had any feet might have walked to that position on the image
Hey YouNow then Mister
Hmmmmm That's a point, don't think I doShape.......edited version works really well , love the use of negative space , a really striking image ....wonder if you have any other models like that so you could create a triptych ?
Thanks LynneFresh....lost track a little here but my preference is the 2nd bee image I think where he's almost got a frame round him....lovely colors in the flowers & well focused on the bee itself ...tricky little blighters they are
I know... not the best of shots latelySwirl ( I think that was the theme )....the wrought iron shots anyway........2nd one for me , kind of abstract but you can still see what it is , mono I like though I did like the colors in the 1st shot but not keen on the fence in the bg....
Cheers AlanHi DK
Shape - so many people have commented that my thoughts would be unnecessary, but I do like the idea and the silhouette feel whilst still retaining some detail in the head
Thanks TonyLove the shoe shot. I think I prefer it facing left but I'm not sure why....
I know mateHi DK, shoehorn indeed, what are we all going to do if the theme one week is shoehorn
Cheers mate, will crop that laterout of the two numbers shots the second one for me possibly crop out the darker top section so its just buttercups and i think the expression on her face is better, the first one she looks a little bored maybe
Thanks again Allanaction love the bird of prey and all the dog shots are good but just for the fun of it the last one for me
Many thanks TonyLove that BoP shot. Fabulous capture of motion. That being said, I adore the gormless shot of the dog; so full of character.
Thank GodNowt wrong with a crowbar now and again
Cheers matePotrait #2 for me, well composed and good eye contact. I'f like it a little warmer.
ThanksAction # 1 for me is superb, just the right timing there.
Tis a size isn't itLast Action made me chuckle, that big lolloping tounge
Cheers.
Many thanks SimonHi DK, I love the first of the model shoot - great framing of the model between the OOF foreground flowers and those in the background. Great colours and it just looks great.
Thanks againAction - Bird of prey for me, well captured.
:blush:Fantastic shots, the both of them.
I did wonder how I could give it a tad more warmth without over doing the yellow
Always the case mate isn't it.... different screen different feeling on a shot, some I see on my PC look better than on my tablet when really it should be the other way aroundDoesn't look that bad on my work's computer
Loving the re shoots of action and the second buttercup image for me.
Cheers Susie... they were real characters them dogsHi DK .... Definitely the first buttercup one for me, I love the focus, it's absolutely spot on for me.
Your action shots are excellent too, lovely and sharp ....the bird of prey is a cracker and the dog shots when you zoom in close capture so much power .... even the one with the catch me if you can look
Hey LynneHi ya matey
I guess we would have to do a real crowbar shot just to make it feel rightI agree with Allan.....what will we do if Shoehorn pop's up as a theme
Ahhhhhhhh very true, didn't think of the 'One' element :bang:That said I don't really think you needed the shoehorn....there's ONE model ! Shot 1 for me of Beth....just like her expression & the DOF more
Cheers LynneLove all the dog shots but the last one is a corker.......
Wow - Thanks again :blush:BOP...perfect DOF , perfect focus......love it
Cheers ChrisNumber is tenuous but I like, the first one I keep changing my mind about. I think for me there is a bit too much blurred foreground and it detracts a bit from the subject, so the second is my preference.
Cheers Chris, in hindsight I should have put my 70-200 lens on when shooting these, but I may have got even fewer in focusI'm not sure what to say about action because I am usually rubbish at capturing it myself, always ending up with blurred subjects when I don't want it. The bird of prey I like composition-wise, and how clear you've managed to capture this. The dog is well captured too but not as appealing personally...maybe it's the expressions...third though is a cut above the other two IMHO
Ohhhhhh yes there sure are, for me personally much better than a archive shot, still making me get my camera out, when as everybody knows, when busy it's sooooooo easy to think 'Oh Well'These Crowbars are the only consistent things in the 52's lol think every one has borrowed one from time to time
Cheers Craig, yes that sure does make a difference doesn't it2nd Numbers for me eye contact makes all the difference
Yay !!! Thanks mate... and yeah it did me too, so happy I captured it I was hoping I had [/quote][/quote]Action - Bird of Prey is fantastic timing no crit from me there but the tongue shot perfect made me chuckle lots
Cheers Chris
I had similar thoughts at first, but after editing it it grew on me and I liked the DoF it gave the shot
Ahhhh I see mateno I think the DoF is spot on!...my comment was rather about how much of the image was taken up with the blurred foreground rather than how blurred it was
Oh BuggerOy you - if you don't alter your title how can thicko me know that you have posted the latest themes
Cheers Alan... I think you are right thereNumber - i prefer the first shot for the pose but the facial expression on #2. Also #1 has a better balance of colours - #2 being very, err, yellow.
Hahaaaaa now why didn't I think of thatAction- BIF is really well caught and fits theme perfectly - could you not have PP'd a mouse in the frame in its eyeline
Thanks JudiHi there,
numbers.. no 1 is just a bit dark on the left side of her face so no 2 for me
Action re-shoot.. no 2 of the racing dog
