...so on theme there. As to critique, I know you have raised the shadows, but it stills looks under exposed to me, it would be nice to see more detail especially in her face as you can only really make out the one eye. It may be worth dialling in a spot of exposure compensation. It also looks a little too orange, so possibly dial back the saturation
She's asleep on my bed again now, and in sunlight she is less dark. I don't think that the shot is too bad a representation of how she looked at the time though as the colours of the walls and ceiling do tend to make the room and everything in it slightly dark.Hi Tim
Relax - cats do seem to be very good at this relaxing don't they. Great fit for the theme, maybe a little too dark as others have said.
Vertical - both on them, but I prefer # 1
Hi, Time, I like the shadows in #1. Wonderful building, for me, though, I'd prefer a front on composition to emphasis the verticals.
Cheers.
I took some straight on, but somehow they just felt bland / dull, perhaps the size of the house removing the emphasis on the pillars. I'm afraid I've deleted them now :/Hi Tim
Out of you 2 vertical shots, number 1 for me.
As pointed out i also think a central PoV could have been better, but that would have depended on the location of the sun..
Thanks. It's one of those buildings you just take for granted as it's been there all my life. Getting the camera out on this challenge makes you look at things anew.Tim I really like the first image, great shadows and what an amazing looking building
I am on a bit of a comments catch up........
Bold - I have to agree with others I don't think its a bold as it could be.
Relax - fits the theme, crit wise I feel the cat looks a bit dark in colour.
Vertical - first image for me like the vertical pillars.
Love the idea of using a proverb as an idea for a photo. Looks fine to me. As you say best camera is the one you have with you. Love the blue of the sky with just a hint of cloud. Actually been a beautiful day today even if a bit windy.
Thanks - I think it worked quite wel tooNice interpretation Tim and well spotted
Handy little compacts, aren't they.Yes nice one Tim, would also be nice to see the whole Gift Horse sculpture but I guess you were concentrating on the mouth.
I too have a Lumiz TZ8 ... nifty little things.
Hi, well done for not getting any distraction in the BG, not sure if I want to see the whole thing or maybe a closer view of its head
Wow! You're on the ball this week Tim - and I really like the interpretation.
Nice clean background, lovely contrast and depth to the sculpture.
I'd really have liked to see a closer crop of just the head and neck though.
BTW Is it just me or does that little wisp of cloud look like steam snorting from his nostrils?
a closer crop would make it even more on theme but I am also left wondering i would like to see a wider shot of the whole statue.
@SarahLee - No it's not just you, I thought exactly the sameBTW Is it just me or does that little wisp of cloud look like steam snorting from his nostrils?
