Mine too.[emoji32]Hi DK, nice reflection shot, its playing havoc with my head though
And, yes you have done a shot of your pond in a previous 52. Good to see that it is still as tidy.
Good idea.

Hi DK. Brilliant reflection and I like the effect of inverting the entire image so that the reflection is up top. Excellent stuff
Hi DK whats not to like about that one ...great for the theme and a smashing shot anyway...it looks brilliant inverted
As upside down water reflections go, this is amazing.
Have to turn my laptop up-side-down to figure out what the image is all about. Good job I wasn't viewing it on my 27" iMac desktop.
Hi Dean,
Just catching up on a few...
Despair: I feel your pain but you have got a lot closer than many to capture one. I really like the first shot as it portrays how fast these little guys are. Nice reflection too
Noise: Great 'sharp' shot Lots of noise from the saw. Perfect for the theme.
Envy: Clever take on the theme
Inverse: Another clever shot. I am looking on the desktop so I had to resort to turning my head upside-down to see the original. Well seen and composed
Another catch up here Dean, "Envy" Barsts!
I hope the scratch finally fades, its a great imge though
Inverse. Very nice
Really liking the Inverted shot DK. It's got great colour, plenty of interest and great composition. Best of all, it takes a few seconds for your processing to sink in, so it's an image that drags you back to it.
Yup, that'll do!
Noise: Lovely image, on theme and i bet it was noisy. the long exposure really makes this image.
Despair: made me chuckle
Envy : great shot, lovely and sharp and great idea, my only critique is the key mark, may have looked a little better with a faint gradient in post to match the light on the bonnet.
inverse : made me invert my head to view lol so definitely does the job. lovely colours and great subject matter
Cheers Chris... Needs must at the moment
Thanks JillLove the Envy shot Dean, but not the activity behind it bat:B:rage:stards)
Thanks againInverse - plays with my brain. Did a double-take when I scrolled past it. Loads of detail there and fab colours
In a nutshell you have it there... but hey, it was taken at 9:00pm, so theme tickedShimmer - I know what you mean about not throwing in the towel. It just looks a bit 'messy' with no obvious focal point. but, hey ho, I've had more than a few like that this year
Ha Haaaa house is sold so everything is spotlessElement - hahahha, that was the first idea that popped into my empty little head. Not easy to shoot either and fits the theme well. PS, your cooker is awfully clean
Thanks Carl, too kind but accepted with pleasure on theseHi DK. I quite like Shimmer - certainly captures the lighting nicely. Element - like Jill, that was my very first thought too when the theme was announced. Lovely vivid colour against that black bg. Both make good abstracts.
If its anything like my garden they'll be back tomorrowI spent most of the day in the garden getting rid of leaves
Well here it is... a leaf standing out from the crowd in it's autumnal glory
Thank you Tim, very nice of you to sayHi DK.
The water shot for shimmer is great, I don't think a reshoot is called for.
Thanks again, for a quickie I am satisfied, it fits the theme for me yes, technically I think it's okay too, but not much of a challenging shot , but hey as I say theme ticked, and for a busy time that will sufficeElement - Nicely done and I knew exactly what you were saying there. No way was that a shoe horn, unlike certain ele(phants)ments
Cool - Thanks yet again, you can visit more oftenSeasonal - Nice delicate colours captured well and very suitable DoF emphasising the subject matter. Good shot.
you ain't kidding !!!!If its anything like my garden they'll be back tomorrow
That will do me - ThanksThat works Dean
Thanks Brian, you are correct, and I couldn't be arsed to get the tripod out of the boot of the carShimmer: could actually be really good, I think this has a lot of potential, but looks rushed.
Less is the new moreElement: the less said the better.
Seasonal: made me laugh out loud.
Cheers Brian, all the best with your saleWell done for keeping up, we all know how busy you are (I have my house up for sale at the moment - eek).
Thanks Andy... good idea at the tighter crop, may give that a go over a beer in ScotlandMorning, Shimmer, has a create from the black lagoon feed about it. Element, no shoehorn here. Nice vivid colours and scent detail. I think both would work well cropped in close for abstracts.
Thanks again, there was only fog, so had to use ocf to get some detail, tried long exposure with tripod first but I just couldn't get detail or colourSeasonal, yup on theme and it's a pity about the absence of warm light. I'd prefer a wide dof as parts of the else are OOF.
Good show.
Cheers.
Thanks Carl, to be honest I thought the old leaves added to it, but now looking again with fresh eye's you have a very valid point - thanksI love the beautiful autumnal colour of the leaf and the contrast against a predominantly green bg. I may be tempted to crop out the slightly dried and "busy" bg to the right but that's all. Nice seasonal image.
Thanks SusieHi DK ...well done for keeping up when you're so busy.
Sounds like a good plan thenShimmer and Elements both well on theme...I agree with Andy a crop to give them a real abstract feel would make them really stand out.
Cool - Thanks againSeasonal...so many beautiful colours about and you've caught that one perfectly.
Cheers StanElement; on a wee smile on my face like you thought behind the theme though.
Thank you, I did try hard to get the right DoF to separate it from the other foliageSeasonal; I quite like that, nice colour and good use of shallow DoF.
Hey DavidYo DK
It's a airstone in water so bubbling surfaceShimmer ... really nice interpretation, not quite sure what it is but it works.
YAY !!! somebody agrees with me what it is ha haaaaaa ;thumbs;Element ... yes and those old electric fires sort of crossed my mind, and yes of course, an electric hob is an element. Nicely shot too.
Thanks againSeasonal ... classic autumny stuff.
Err whats all that mean? /\ ...so a 4 second exposure, .9 ND soft grad to the sky to reduce blowing of highlights, as low an ISO as I could get to lengthen the exposure, in this case ISO 50, and as small an aperture (One stop from fully closed up in this case f20) for the same reason, and to get the detail in the rocks and bring out more colour in the leaves, off camera flash fired 3 times from different angles in the 4 seconds, one from left of camera, one from right and once from overhead.
lol - Thanks ChrisErr whats all that mean? /\ ...
Great viewing point Dean,
fits right in the theme too
And thanks too CarlGreat shot Dean - really like the autumnal scene capped off by the myriad of fallen leaves
Haaaa thanks a lot MadamI was thinking more a sky full of portent Great pic but far too complicated for me. It takes me all my time to manage the camera without the tripod, off camera flash and adding filters. MS is a b@stard.....
You and Lynne were there I kept seeing you're heads pop up'ello, can't quite see me on the distant shore....or did you clone me out
Thanks MateWonderful colours, detail and textures in the leaves.
I know, same when I keep seeing the ship wreck images, it's like a weird de-ja-vu feelingIt's always stage when you saw someone making a photograph and then see it!
Good show.
That's what I thought about the horizon, fully adjusted via lens profile correction and what ever I do it looks odd, thinking it's because of the large Bay I was in and shooting towards the end of the lochCrit, well the horizon looks off but that might be an optical illusion. Branches super right, but, you know, minor point in a wonderfull scene.
HELL YES !!!! can't wait alreadyLet's get planning next year...after Iceland, of course
Cheers.
Cheers ChrisExcellent interpretation Dean
