weekly HelenC's 52 for 2024. Week 16: Empty

[HelenC]

Nice shot of a nice shot

A nice memento

Very personal. Nice idea for the theme.

That's a nice family keepsake there.

Texture: A lovely colourful shot, nicely composed.
Personal: There’s nothing as personal as family memories imo.

Great idea for personal!!

Lovely shot of your parents, pretty good for being stuck I'd say

Ta muchly for the kind comments folks.

A simple scene caught my eye the other day... it was windy and the light was ever changing. A lovely combination of shadows and the silhouettes of the bare trees.

You always seem to capture something in your landscapes that I'm always unable to whenever I try.

I like the three distinct bands of colour here.

Like the different colours from the fields, some nice silhouettes and good to see the young trees growing in the middle of the field.

 

[SimonH]

That's a lovely shot and a nice subtle take on the theme Helen.
As Kell said, lovely use of thirds here

 

[BobBCN]

Yes, good use of thirds. It's a very balanced image. Excellent work I must say.

 

[Cloudforest]

Another lovely landscape Helen. The light is beautiful.

@Kell Thank you... lets just say that I take an awful lot..

[HelenC]

A catch up after being pretty much housebound for the last few weeks.
Feeling sheepish about lagging behind so went for a local walk...

Week 13: Unkempt

Obviously motherhood takes its toll. Mum is looking rather unkempt in the family portrait

[HelenC]

Making the most of a walk for my catch up.

Week 14: (Wonky) Gob shot

[RyanB]

Great gob shot Helen, complete with a bit of grass sticking out of the corner of it's mouth.

 

[Boots]

A good bit of catching up

 

[Adamcski]

Works for me although I'm not the biggest sheep fan. You did well as it's tilting it's head and looking straight at you.

 

[Kell]

The gob shot sheep definitely looks like it’s checking you out.

Good catch up.

Hope you’re feeling better.

 

[nog]

Good catch up, she is looking a bit unkempt and think you've shown she has bit of character in the gob shot

 

[BobBCN]

Nicely caught up Helen!!

 

[SimonH]

Great gobshot!

 

[Crotal Bell]

Ha ha thats a cracking gobshot, love it

Thanks guys. Back in the land of the living at last!

 

[HelenC]

Well.... it's certainly been a week of April showers. Simple shot but the colour of the spring green on the trees against the purple sky caught my eye.

A nice shot of contrasts - right up my street.

But what happened to the sky? I guess it's some processing artifact.

 

[Crotal Bell]

The contrast works really well, simple but striking image.

 

[-Oy-]

Brooding sky with a bright background - my fave

Yeah - looks like a card write error at the top.

 

[wornish]

Makes you look twice. Very striking.

 

[eoSimon]

Terrific colours, well done

 

[nog]

Great contrast and colours

 

[nickbee]

I love the contrast - the yellow stands out more than the green to me but it's no less striking.

 

[SimonH]

Thats fab Helen - fields of rapeseed flowering are an absolute banger for a good image, especially with moody skies. I have a similar one somewhere

 

[BobBCN]

As said, nice contrasty colours. Works a treat!!

Thanks for the kind comments and for stopping by.

This just about sums up the past week... a very empty landscape and field, mist, rain and a (somewhat over-processed) broody sky

[Boots]

That certainly looks brooding - time I would reach for a coat

 

[seaodyssey]

Perfect fit for the theme Helen

 

[BobBCN]

Nicely broody and the way the sky is split into two is curious.

 

[SimonH]

Looks like the sky's about to empty too!

Coat time again it’s not been bad in North Wales this week though, makes a big change
