Sorry got to comment on filthy, love it, I can almost feel that mud squidging between my toes!
Great that you have come back to finish by the way, enjoying your catch up.
What a great catch up and finish to your 52 Georgina, all good shots love the baby having a mad run and showcase to finish off nicely.
Hi Georgina,
I think I've pretty much commented on every image (bugs excluded) this year, so don;t think you can sneak these past me
- Model - Dodgy indeed. 1960's Dr Who would have been ashamed to use them... I know it wasn't the point of the image, but the thing that really has me looking is the map of the world on the wall. That and trying to guess if the mirror on the wall really is a mirror or if it's a painting.
- Corner - I had something like that almost make it for one of my shots this summer. The change in appearance between in and out of the room is quite drastic. It certainly hits the theme and the verticals are spot on.
- Filthy - Someone shouldn't have stepped where they did eh? Bang on for the theme. Plenty of detail
I might have tried to have avoided the shadow / bright area line across the shoe, not sure it needs it as there is plenty of reflection off the darker parts of the wet parts of the boot as it is.- Mark - We had something similar around our town. A friend of ours was involved in putting them up. Your backgrounds for them are nicer than ours.
- Lost - Evocative, that's about the only word to use for this. Really nicely captured and presented,
- Monstrous - I think a dragon is a monster, so it's not a shoe horn in my eyes. Excellent detail and reproduction of the colours
- Balanced - Nothing wrong with this, but not my sort of image really, so no real critique here from me.
- Crushed - He does look down in the dumps, doesn't he. Great catch of the expression.
- Motion - Rhino version of Kittens in spring then? Mind you, I don't think I'd fancy him rushing around my house, climbing the curtains!!!
- Party - Is the Mk1 a Mexico? The lining looks right for it. Gotta love the Mk1 - Wish I'd not scrapped mine.
Works nicely in the letterbox style.- Showcase - That is a very good image isn't it. Excellent progression from the very sharp to the extreme OOF.
All ticked off in the spreadsheet
And onto '19 YAY
And the catchup award for 2018 foers to.... @Missycat
Some fab shoits there - Monstrous leaps out - super duper shot!
What an amazing set of images!
Highlights for me are
Filthy: - is it right to call this a beautiful image?...well I'm gonna!! Love the splash of pink too!
Monstrous: Wow, what an incredible closeup, such detail and glorious colours...those things can give you a nasty nip so I hear, so monstrous is certainly appropriate!
Crushed: What is there to say other than Awwwwwww!!!! Adorable and compelling, what a super image!
And your Showcase image is spectacular, perfect toning, amazing detail and great use of Dof...simply stunning, congratulations for completing the 52.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful images in next years 52.
Hi Georgina, what a great choice for the fianl theme, that is a lovely picture, can't fault it and I love the black and white! Well done on the completion of the 52.
Well, get you - waking up and wrestling your way to the finish! I've seen most of them already but my favourites are the colourful Komodo Dragon and lovely wrinkly Rufus. The Showcase images definitely deserves its place, too.
Well done on getting to the end and here's to another one in 2019
Showcase
Allium seedhead if I'm not mistaken. Looks good and it seems to be popular with the judges too.
