A good start Ian! What week will be getting the New You selfie pic I wonder
the only thing that detracts for me is the large crease in the cloth to the left of the mag it really caught my eye and pulled me away a little.
I am sorry for that It just caught my eye straight awayThat was like a dagger to the heart Peter - believe it or not, I very nearly ran the iron over the bed, but I thought nobody would pick me up on that
No problem with the crease here, it makes it less staged imo.
Nice colours, I like the use of angles and the inclusion of the tape to add 3D to the image.
Nice image. Interesting interpretation of the theme. Nice use of contrasting colours...like it.
Fitting for the theme most certainly, I like the inclusion of the tape measure. I think it would suit a different, tighter crop as for me there is too much top and bottom in the image.
Good idea for the theme. Maybe a plain background would work better? Or the magazine on a table or something similar.
Just a thought.
A good image and good idea for the theme.
Walter.
Nice idea for the theme....good luck with the diet.
Hi Ian, that’s where I’ll be on Thursday I like the composition with the tape measure, I do agree about the background though, a closer crop would definitely work.
Hi Ian, nice idea and as others have said the tape adds to the image. I think it would benefit from a crop as the bg is a bit distracting or possibly a slightly lower angle

Good start, I like the way you've added the tape measure. Maybe a bit of vignetting would highlight the magazine and tape.
Good choice of theme. Something I could do with doing this year. Magazine really stands out... so much I am tempted to buy this issue. Plain background would have made the image stand out much better. I’ve purchased a roll of black and white paper from the range for such shots. Lasts ages and does not cost a fortune. Just need somewhere to store them. They do other colours as well. Think I’ve seen red and green in there as well. Good luck with the new you.
I see you have focused on the 49" does that mean anything
Cheers Bob. To be fair, I wouldn't have minded it symmetrical but i'm reasonably happy how it turned out...... especially as i'd managed to rack about 6 shots off before the receptionist from Lock & Store Aldershot got on her high horse and told me I need permission from head office to take photos
