Very nice Helen lovely textures and details in there great B&W conversion
I like the half finished wicker basket with the tools to complete the work in front. Nice mix and textures and colours and the B&W processing is very well done again.
Nice processing Helen.
And an interesting array of tools.
Nice set of tools Helen, highlights are handled well and like the dinky iron.
Suits B&W and a nice composition.
Cracking shot for tool. Very nice composition and the mono works so well.
I really like the use of the tools' project in the photo - the B&w conversion is lovely.
Nicely processed and well suited to B&W.
Did you consider any other aspect ratios? I have a feeling 4x5 might also suit as it would concentrate you on the tools themselves. Thoughts?
Abandoned can be a synonym for discarded... Great shot... Am thinking a really grainy black and white edited to look old for this one....
Nice image for Discarded and right on the theme. I love the colours you've pulled out of the lichens etc and you've managed the DoF perfectly, I think.
Nice shot for the theme Helen but I would have liked a bit more space around it. Just a tad too tightly cropped for me.
Excellent images there Helen!
Both are perfect fits for the theme, well spotted.
#1 is really super...I like the composition, (though as Joan said, it's cropped a teeny bit tight) and the texture detail on the mossy(?) bits is great.
Very nicely captured and a great angle.
#2 is terrific - the rust textures on the engine are marvellous...it's definitely not seaworthy!!
Great work.
#1 is a good shot, but I think #2 for me (though I would have wanted a little more headroom in the shot).
They're a bit tight, but the subjects are great! I really like the photos - very on theme!
Great shot, but I agree with the crop comments. I think there needs to be less boat basically, and maybe a b/w version would look good!!
ETA: You've doubled your tally in 2012 now
Hi Helen,
I think a few of us had a similar conversation in our heads of discarded or abandoned. It’s like the old tomaatto, tomato conversation
I loved both these photos and the detail in the second is fab. Thumbs up from me great composition.
Really like that Helen I also like your second image and nice detail shot.
Thanks both.. much appreciated.I like that Helen and I think it works well in colour.
