Nice off-centre composition and clear clean bg. Excellent choice for theme.

For Miniature great shot and a great bike I have been on the back of one Never Again loll, and for the welsh dragon very nice and certainly very happy.
Your take on miniature is pretty spot on, well lit and composed,and the dof really enhances the image.
The smile on the dragon says it all, happy
Thanks every one for taking the time to look and comment.

Hi Mandy
Miniature: nicely controlled lighting and clean background. For me maybe some more DOF would be nicer
Happy: nice and sharp and a winner if it reminds you of Good times each time you view. Done a good job on the lighting again too.
Agree with a Paul's earlier comments regarding massive improvements you've made. Well done ☺

Well where are the weeks going? we are now at week 5 and I am a little under the weather cough, cold, constant sneezing and a sore throat. None the less I forced my self to venture out into the cold ( wrapped up warm ) to seek out my image for the theme " abandoned " . There was only one thing I had in mind for the theme, and that was to take a snap of the " abandoned " Roman ruins that can be seen in the Abbey Grounds in Cirencester. As with being ill and these shocking weather conditions it has been unsafe to take the motorbike out and find something else. I will also include a snap shot of the plaque outlining a bit of history behind the ruins, which will be best viewed on Flickr.

Well, they don't come much more abandoned that that!
Nice on Mandy.
I see there are houses around it. What a nice thing to have on the doorstep
Thanks Ruth, yes it is a nice little bit of history to have on your doorstep. And only a five minute walk away from my flat, very lucky where I live.

Yes I think that place has been abandoned.
Tim @LC2 makes a good point about loosing the rooftops, a thing that didn't occur to me, my eyes were drawn to them thinking that looks like the Cirencester I know.

Hi Mandy
Miniature - Nice choice, and I like the way you have stood the model, good lighting and a nice background too
Happy - Although not the most exciting subject, I must say your set-ups, lighting and backgrounds have come on leaps and bounds since last year, I recall when you would just take a photo of this type of object just plonked on your sofa... this is Soooooooooo much up there where it should be with light, composition and background

Hi Mandy, Abandoned is perfectly on theme. Lovely bright grass and a well shot image from an interesting POV. Getting a lot higher probably would have weakened the shot, so well chosen. I guess you could have tried to throw the background OOF a bit, but I like it as it is. Looking forward to a bit of danger now!

Miniature: Lovely miniature motorbike! I like the dof you've chosen and the light looks perfect.
Happy: Nice choice for the theme! Cute and happy dragon. I would probably like to see the words to be in focus too.
Abandoned: What a gorgeous panoramic shot. I think the shocking weather conditions helped with your abandoned theme. Good of you to get out there despite being ill. Hope you're all better now!

Camouflage this is a PABD image, I struggled for time to go out and get something exciting for the image. Here is the SOOC image, which may help you to work out what it is I have snapped.
Week 6 Camouflage

Moving onto the theme "Danger" I did have a few ideas for this theme, however the weather was against me. I was also still unwell with Bronchitis ( all better now
) I even managed to get my Bathroom all Painted and new flooring down. while I was still ill, so I think that helped shift my bug. Anyway enough of me babbling, I have gone for a simple take on the theme and chosen to take a photo, of my incredibly sharp surgeons knife. Which in my eyes if your not careful with it, it can be a very " Dangerous" item to use.

Hi Mandy. Glad you're better - so many suffered and quite badly too. Anyway, ....
Camouflage: Quite a nice abstract - like the stitching tracks. I'm assuming it's your combats.
Dangerous: Yikes! that looks a very sharp instrument, photographically sharp too. Looks good on the angle. What's the significance of that line across the blade - a depth gauge of some sort?
