Em's 52 for 2017 - You added

Hi Emma ...it's always a pleasure to hop into your thread, it's never disappointing.
Love the shiny DM's for Clean., perfect composition, dof, everything spot on.
Reall interesting choice for Curve, I was mystified till I read the explanation, fabulous bokeh.
Occupation, a thoughtful choice I like it, having survived the summer hols with the grandkids you have my admiration:)
Thank you so much for your kind comments Susie. First day ever of school for my little lot today and no tears...amazing!

Nice colours, good DoF leading the eye to the pencil. Is that a hint of the sparkly dress again?
Cheers Chris - a sparkly scarf this time, but as the silver threads are finer it can be hard to get the bokeh even. Lots of rain here has put me in the mood for glitzy bokeh :)

Another very good take and on theme Emma or ( the Bokeh Queen ) great bit of dof and focus on the silver pencil, lovely and colourful :)
Lol...bokeh queen - I'll take that David...now just to work on the subjects ;) !!

Very apt and very topical too with the schools going back (two weeks ago here in Scotland. Love the colours and again the simplicity and minimalistic of the shot. Nice focus and nice dof too. :clap:
Thanks so much Stan - that's really encouraging feedback :)

That lens certainly doesnt all short on the Bokeh front does it Em ? Assume its a Nikkor ?
Gotta love a bit of smooth bokeh :) It's the Sigma 105 2.8 Mark.

Curves
A good abstract shot there, lots of curves, colours and textures. (y)
Cheers Dominic (y)
 
Lovely capture, nice candle light feel to it and spot on for the theme. Many happy returns.
 
Great candlelit portraiture verging on the spooky ... cake too!
 
Hi Emma,

Lovely shot for occupation, nice pastel colours, dof and lovely bokeh :D

Nice portraits for You, the candle light works really well. :)

What a super warm and fun shot for 'You', Emma (and my goodness, you can tell they're related!). It's a lovely natural shot and well lit :thumbs:

So sorry again for the loss of your Mum. I'm sure your family are supporting you and you're helping eachother through this awful time.
 
Hi Emma,

Really sorry to hear your bad news.

Occupation - Nice image, the shallow DoF and subtle boken really make it.
You - Made me smile and I hope it helps you to smile a bit too. Great expressions and you've frozen the moment, even though there can't have been much light. (y)
