Weekly jono2002's weekly 52 challenge 2019 - Week 06 Waiting

[ross.anderson.58]

Hi,

New - Beautiful shot mate. Super sharp with great detail in the fur. Nice black and white too.

Clean - Thank god it was!! Nice humorous take on the theme with good detail in the bristles.

 

[chrispp]

Definitely made me smile !

 

[HeartandSoul]

Brilliant choice of image. Well composed and the blue adds a bit of interest.

 

[Missycat]

Good details in the bristles, nicely exposed. Glad you used a new one though!

 

[minx]

That works well I am glad it is clean.

 

[Nostromo]

Clean
Good control of the whites and a good crop.

Week 3 - OPEN cola can

 

[jono2002]

Well that looks super clean, fabulous detail and colour....nice composition to, I can’t believe I’m saying that about a toilet brush

Lovely sharp image. It must be a new toilet brush to look so clean! And you have just reminded me to buy a new one! So thank you!

It was 75p from ASDA! still not been used. Better use it soon, since everyone liked the picture so much it might end up getting some kind of sentimental value to it

 

[Dave70D]

That`s a good effort for open, but not for me as the top left hand side is blown.

 

[jono2002]

That`s a good effort for open, but not for me as the top left hand side is blown.

That was intentional, I had placed a light behind the can as the background was not great. The more I look at it the more I "think yes, its a little too much" and could of been less intense.

 

[LC2]

Well, I like it. I figured the lighting was intentional, but what I really like is all the captured detail.

 

[Lindsay56]

I agree that it looks a bit blown top left but I do love the detail of most of the image, it has real depth

 

[GarethB]

Very cool macro image Jon.
I can see what the others mean, but I rather like it....if you had exposed for the lights, you might have lost the detail in that tiny drop nestling on the flappy bit inside the can!
That's what drew my eye into the image, so for me it works as a great focal point.

 

[IanD]

Nice bit of macro there - very good detail

 

[BobBCN]

Good shot! Maybe I would have included the complete top but great as it is.

 

[Ganton Gunner]

very nice great detail in it well done

 

[-Oy-]

Nice - can almost hear the *PSSSHT!"

 

[Scots_quine]

I like the sharpness and detail on this. Well done.

 

[susiejb]

Excellent detail in the ringpull, it makes an eye catching image for the theme.

 

[Carl Hall]

A really interesting take on an every day object. The detail in it really draws your eye in, especially the texture in the aluminium which looks like the grain in wood. Well thought of and well taken too

 

[HeartandSoul]

Liking this image a lot. Others have already said about the top left hand side being a bit blown. The detail in the can is superb.

 

[chrispp]

What’s does it for me are the water droplets under the ring. Gives a real feeling of some movement of the can just being opened. Nice in b&w to

 

[Manxmaid]

An excellent close-up with lots of detail and texture; nicely done.

 

[jono2002]

Thanks all for the comments, nearly posted distant but it was so grey and boring I couldn't bring myself to it. Back to drawing board, maybe I can use some snow if I'm lucky to get some here.

 

[minx]

the tight crop really works, lots of detail I like it

 

[michael23]

Like the droplet there, it adds a little something to the picture. I like the tight crop but may have gone with a bit more off the top, but either way I like it.

 

[jono2002]

Week 5 - COLD



Struggling a bit with time whilst moving back into my house over the next few weeks, however I do have an empty COLD fridge freezer. As you can see the thermometer shows its too warm with the door open and camera pointed at it

 

[jono2002]

Catch up Week 4 - DISTANT

Cheated a little with this one as its from the past, but I think it great fit for distant.

 

[GarethB]

Two excellent images Jonathan.

Distant: excellent use of angles and depth of field...a very pensive image with some great drama in the sky, fits the theme nicely.
Cold: You can't get a more fitting image than a fridge freezer!! Nice image with a 'cool' story!!

 

[BobBCN]

Great idea for COLD. Totally original. And DISTANT, as you say, fits the theme perfectly!

 

[seaodyssey]

Jon

Open, nice close up, but light top left is too much. Focus, details, exposure is good.

Cold, on theme, looks cold, nuff said.

Distant, on 2 levels, the background and where he is looking. You could have a better crop leaving out the old traffic cone, but overall a nice image.

Thanks for the feedback. Agreed a crop leaving out the traffic cone would be good. I liked having it there as it adds to the scene however not enough of it is in view for that.

 

[susiejb]

Cold, an excellent idea, it definitely fits the theme, but I would have been tempted to nip the top off and cut out that streak of light on the right hand side.

Distant definitely works reall well with the distant headland and the pensive look.

 

[Leebert]

I like both Cold and Distant. I think Cold could work as a tighter shot and my OCD wants to turn the thermometer over so that it reads the right way up. Great fit for the theme and well thought out.

Distant works well but I will make the same comment re the cone. It might make a good shot in mono too?

Thanks, have had a quick look at having it mono but not sure it works. However did give me an idea to change the colours, crop it and add a frame. Very different now to how it was before. The sea in the previous version really was green but in the below you still get a hint without it being so saturated.

 

[chrispp]

Like both of these Jon, the second version of distance is my favourite of the two.

 

[Manxmaid]

Two good images for their themes Cold might benefit from a little crop at the top as most of the 'cold' texture and detail is in the foreground in front of the thermometer, but the texture and blue tones are perfect. Distant works well on two levels, as others have commented, with the distant land and the pensive gaze leading out of the frame. I think your edit to crop out the cone and lift the colours has improved it, too.

 

[LC2]

Cold - Took me a while to spot the mercury on that stat, I was expecting it to be some modern illuminated tomfoolery
Critique would be that it's almost, but not quite symmetrical. If it's not possible to get it fully symmetrical, making it obviously at an angle would make it a deliberate choice rather than feeling slightly accidental.

Distant - Definitely the second edit. The de-saturation gives a more bleak feel and makes the skin tones look more in keeping with a cold winter.
Removal of the cone also improves the shot imo.

Week 6 - Waiting for some TLC

 

[Dave70D]

I think if you had someone in the shelter it would of worked better, but yes it looks like it`s been waiting a while for some TLC.
