Great idea and the treatment really suits the subject.

Nice vintage processing which matches the subject really well, as does the background.

Works really well. The vignette and processing talks of a bygone era.

Week 24 - Little. A Russian Matryoshka doll, with the little one at the front.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Very nearly did the same shot as have red ones, great Dof too.

haha, cheers. I've also tried to subdue the colours in the background dolls etc to try and make the small one pop a bit more.

Hidden
Really like the triptych and processing.

Small/little

Great use of dof and subtle colours.

 

[HelenC]

DoF is spot on and use of colour really adds to a nice shot.

Great DoF and processing, on the dolls Jim, it all works well.
And of course it all fits right in with the theme.

 

[Bebop]

Lovely composition. The faded colours in the background and DoF really add to it.

 

[Allan.H]

Can only agree with the above, nicely thought out

Thanks all, I think this is probably my favourite of the 52 so far.

That's a fabulous shot, Jim. Nice setup and good dof. Like the idea to make just the small one stands out from the others.

This is great Jim. I love the strong colours on the front one and the more muted ones behind.

Thanks Clive, much appreciated

Excellent use of the DoF and very well set up so you could get exactly what you wanted.
There is even sufficient reflection to ensure that they aren't 'floaty'.

Week 25 - Snapper's Choice (Boatyard mono) ... ***** Now edited to make a better crop *****

 

[Nostromo]

Great pov, sky and tones. I obviously don't know what the colour version looks like, but this looks good in black and white.

 

[Kell]

Love that.

Thanks for the kind comments. It does look better in mono as it was just drab and grey last night

 

[Bebop]

Nice gritty scene with lots of textures. Really suits the B&W treatment.

As already said, nice gritty image, nicely processed, nice DoF to Jim.

but I'm thinking that most of the foreground below the rope is surplus to requirements ?

You could be right, maybe a square crop would have done it more justice. The sky was pretty uniform above where i've taken it to so there wasn't much point in taking the shot higher.
