Very nice Helen. I agree with your choice, I think due to the more ominous clouds.
The top one could be the med in a storm...
It's a lovely shot. Very simple, but very pleasing.
Very nice Helen, both great, I prefer the pure simplicity of #1
I think we've seen that beach before [emoji6]. But that's a cracker and I can't see why it's a favourite. The reflection of just lovely.
Nice simple shot works so well
Nice shot chosen. One of those time the horizon looks wonky but it isn't due to the way the eye weights the shot with the main subject at the left.
Two beautiful Showcase shots. I prefer #2 which is the main photo thread shot.
2 very easy to look at images, I think you chose the right one.
The theme was decorate not scareBizarrely, in evening light she bears a weird resemblance to Mrs Thatcher!!! Quite unnerving...

Nice finish Helen
Lovely story to her, really nicely lit too. Well done on finishing.
Thanks guys.. its been great to have the 52 to concentrate on during the year... a brilliant distraction.Lovely lighting and lovely back story.
Well done on getting to the end!!
@Bebop Thanks.. given I had to look up Rembrandt lighting it wasn't deliberate. The only light was natural plus domestic overhead - any resemblance to technical expertise is purely accidentalThe Mrs Thatcher reference made me giggle. Lovely back story... and possibly Rembrandt lighting on her face? I've just been watching a YouTube video on it.
Well done for finishing the 52.
Thanks @LC2 - see above for lighting...I hope she only faces one way - The lady is not for turning !
Quite a warm feel to the shot. Tungsten lighting?
