Nicely spotted, and the pop of flash adds to the overall image too. The inbuilt flashes on the X cameras can be pretty useful at times, I love the one on the X-E1 rather than having to carry a speedlight with me. Just useful when a little extra bit of light is needed, especially a bit of fill for a portrait.
Yep - nicely textured and lit
Your camo shot is absolutely great. Like many other I struggled to find your butterfly, so it definitely hits the technique!
Nice shot for the textures as well - the flash makes it pop nicely.
Well spotted texture detail.
Well spotted Dave. Nicely lit, nice composition and nice textures - great image.
Texture
It's a simple pattern, but it really is quite appealing and tactile.
Well spotted - I hope you didn't have so many that you ended up lying on your back?
Lighting it up probably made the texture more obvious too. Well done for getting the technique in so early.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Great textures, the light really helps bring out the ropes. Very mesmerising!
Nice textures in the rope and it's nice and symmetrical too.
Works well - and no distortion so you must have been horizontal
Very well spotted - we don't always notice what's on the ceiling.
Hi Dave
Well spotted and the flash brings out the texture well. Happy birthday.
Pete
Lots of musical activity locally then? Good to see. Not much around here yet.
The first is my favourite with the eye contact.
First one for me Dave, just for the eye contact.
No shoe horn there Save.
Playing an instrument is most certainly an activity.
Cellist for me
Now all I have to do is learn to spell Dave with a "D" not an "S"Thank you Chris.
Music is definitely an activity! First one for me too with the eye contact.
Yep - Bassman for me too. Pity about the sign behind him. Mono would help hide it.
Looks like this week's theme is right up your street. #1 is the best of the three.
Activity
Good shots there Dave. I'm liking the third shot. Her looks like he's just sitting there, playing away, for his own enjoyment.
Three nicely captured musicians.. I like #3 for the facial expression.
A nicely done set Dave. I like the last one best. I like the setting and the way the guitarist looks lost in his music.
Well the unusual view makes this a bit different from your standard format.
Activity - nice set of street musicians - no. 3 my favourite
Artificial - right on topic but I wonder if a wider view to show the context of it hanging on the wall would add more interest.
Activity - I prefer the one you've chosen, great that the guy is looking straight down the lens, it really catches you.
Texture - well, it's artificial grass, although not sure why you'd put it on a wall!
Nicely done
Activity. Second one for me. All crackers though
Artificial. Flashbacks to Oldham Athletic away in the 80's.
