Torn is perfect for the theme, well lit and a nice composition.

See you have a few placeholders! Keep at it!!

Real nice "pretty", the nearly black BG you have really sets off the duck. Lovely feather detail and colour in the grass.

Thanks Graham, I had just been photographing a Kingfisher, had a walk aroung and thought she looked content and sitting pretty as well

A good catch up set.. loving the duck shot.

A great catchup set John. The duck is a particularly good shot.

Windows: I like the effect of the double reflections.
Abandoned: a great moody image. We've had some dramatic skies recently.

Week 32 Possessions

 

[HelenC]

Machine. Nice treatment adds to the atmospheric shot.
Circles. Good perspective, but seems a tad dark on screen. Perhaps tone down the sky and lift the foreground slightly?

I did do that initially but fell into my beginners trap of "trying for the picture rather than the theme".

Anyway a bit of re-working, which I think works much better, thanks

[Kell]

Circles - I must admit, I prefer the rework. just everything feels a bit brighter.

 

[Darkslinger]

I'm with Kell, I think that the brighter processing really helps the shot.

Week 35 Snappers choice

Took this a few weeks ago, four picture focus stack and re=worked it with a bit of advice from @Cobra and it popped out.

The body of this male false widow ? is about 8mm in length, still big enough to freak out my missus if it moves

Nice shot John (if a little bit creepy)...
