Very bright image Gareth. Hurts my eyes a bit that yellow, but then I am a bit tired! Certainly makes the flower stand out. I think the brown bits on a stalk are the stamens.
Flower
Good background, it compliments the green. I like how it darkens on the right hand side.
The yellow BG really does make this a good image Gareth, nice and sharp where it should be so a good choice and great shot.
Nice take on the theme, liking the background
Nice and sharp. Interesting gradient to the background. And even a bit of subtle colour matching.

Hi Gareth
As always a superb Image, looks better on Flickr.

That yellow bg was a great choice Gareth, I like how well t sets the ivy off, very well lit too. Really like it!
That is a VERY nice image Gareth. Well worth the trouble. I went out to get mine today but was a bit stymied! Will try again tomorrow!
Great action Gareth, well worth the effort, I also like the other version on your flickr stream. But I prefer this image for the placement of the handle. Only thing I would pick upon are the small part of your finger showing on the rhs and and the area of the bg at the very top on the lhs.
That's a great image, 150 shots - wow! The detail in the sparks is excellent.
That's a fabulous image and you've done an excellent job in post-processing. I don't mind the blurry fingers it indicates your hand movement and working the axe.
Nice shot for Dull Gareth!
Even though it was ONLY 150 shots It is a cracking shot and well put together Gareth, love the flying sparks coming off it too.
I agree with the comments, the fingers being slightly blurred works for this kind of thing, it would have to be a slow shutter and thus movement would be expected and gives it life. Great work with the pp and blending
Dull is a great shot and imaginative take not he theme too. Well done
Dull
Not something I had thought about (a dull blade), so a good bit of lateral thinking.
There's nothing wrong with blending images together. It's what you end up with that matters and You've ended up with a very good photo.
Excellent take on dull, really like that, your poor shutter though
I use tools in work all the time and this never crossed my mind, I'm an idiot
Hi Gareth,
You've posted some fantastic shots since I last visited.
I love the thinking behind Empty. Nice bit of photoshoppery too. Soft is fab too. The third one for me with all the colours. Old with the flint path is a great shot. I really like the low PoV. That's a cracking shot for flower. Great colours! Dull is a great creative shot too. Very well lit.
Super shot for DULL!! Favourite axe? Mmmm, well I guess you have more than one!
all of those are lovely Gareth, I particularly like the abstracts.
Loving the abstracts Gareth, and the robin shot you could say Rocking Robin
An excellent catch up, they all look very good to me. Near is my favourite
I like Song but then I am very fond of robins!! Welcome back. Computer issues all sorted?
Nice catch up liking the paper abstract and I think the song interpretation is fine even though you didn’t quite understand it
Week 42 - Song
(Click here to go back to the contents page)
Another one from the archives I'm afraid.
It's a Robin, in full song.
TP-52-2019 wk-42 - Song by Gareth Bellamy, on Flickr
...as always, thanks for looking folks.
Hi Gareth,
- Free Week - I thought it looked vaguely familiar, it is typically 'you' in that it has great vibrancy
- Near - That's a very clever shoe horn, I love it... Cool shot too. Yet again, it's typically you.
- Song - Whereas this shot isn't in your usual style (comfort zone?). Nicely done, seems pretty sharp. Quite impressive to pull off 1/125th at 900mm effective FL.
Great catch up shots. I like the paper shape shot the best, but all are spot on.
Nice set of catch-up shots, Gareth.
Free; I thought the paper abstract looks familiar but still a fantastic image.
Near; TBH, that's the best/worst shoehorn so far this year unless Dave70D can do better.
Song; My initial impression was 'Rocking Robin' but having read your posts in the main Discussion Thread it turned out to be an honest mistake.
I feel so very proud!!rpn said:... that's the best/worst shoehorn so far this year ...
Hi Gareth
I'm glad you having your computing all sorted out now as I have missed your excellent Images these past few weeks.
Who has a favourite Axe??? I have only one so I suppose it must be my favourite and like yours its as dull as a rubber knife. Good balance of colours and the sparks look good. Overall a nice Image.
I prefer the Blue paper thingy in your Snappers Choice, it is a good strong shade of blue and the curves are well defined.
Rocking Robin, Dave came to your rescue there, but he is a cute bird, with nice details in his feathers.
Pete
Great shot Gareth. Love that
