Wet is nicely on theme Mandy, like the old flint homes with the water flowing past it, good moody ish sky to finish off a good shot.
Lovely detail Mandy and nicely on theme.
Walter
That's a lovely scene for Wet, Mandy, nicely composed and you can tell just how wet it has been by the height of the water under the bridge
Wet, the river's near overflowing! Nice scene. nicely composed.
Mandy
mmm, I suggled this week as well, it's a good record shot of an apple and a pile of cookies, they are in focus, but to me they could do with a bit more contrast. Also the shadows on the apple appear strange, being on both sides.
Pete
Wet is a lovely scenery, lots to see and well composed! I also like the moody light!
Juxtaposition works great, nice not too shallow DoF make the apple and the stack of biscuits pop out!
Nice juxtaposition Mandy. Which did you eat first? Nice DOF, they stand out well from the BG
A tricky theme, but you nailed it Mandy. As the shadows are faint imo I am not fussed as my view goes straight to the apple and cookies, good lighting and focus, you can have the apple but I`ll have the cookies
Hi Mandy
Both your Heavy and Wet shots are fine for the theme, but suffer the same issues we all have of late - horrible grey skies! Such a shame as the rock would be great with a blue sky behind it.....
Wet - Wet it has been, good on you for getting out. Like the composition and has plenty of detail.
Juxtaposition - I get it. Nice and simple. Now if only you had resisted the temptation of your Abundance props you might have had sweeties instead of cookies.
Juxtaposition is on topic. Well done. I think may be the Apple could be a bit more vibrant with colour to give a better contrast to the cookies.
Wet
A nice looking scene and wet.
Hi Mandy,
I guess from the shadows that this was an OnCF shot with the camera very close. Bang on theme.
I think the flickr view is somehow stronger. Maybe the black border?
Ref the shadow. if you don't want to go OffCF, maybe something to defuse the light a bit to soften the shadows more? (or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about as I try to use natural light as much as possible).
Chuckle. Nothing wrong with experimenting with flash as part of the 52, every day is a school day. Well, expect holidays... Holidays are holidaysno flashgun used for this image only natural available light coming through my kitchen window

Anyway... A nice collection of ovum there, they stand out well against the background and have plenty of vibrant colour.
A good selection of tasty looking ovals there Mandy, they stand out well against the background
two good tabletop shots. (n) ... something rather nice about the pile of cookies next to an apple.
Oval works really well IMHO, the natural light is exactly what it needs, the background is neutral and pleasantly out-of-focus, the hint of reflection at the bottom grounds it nicely, it is colourful, topical and nicely on theme. Well Done!
Juxtaposition: like this, you made them cookies delicious looking.
Oval: another great capture on theme.
Walter
Great shot for oval, seasonal and right on theme. Natural light works well and good composition!
Very seasonal shot for a seasonal theme! Natural lighting works well with this, and the background too.
Juxtaposition; an interesting idea and good take on the theme. You have done well with available equipment and hope you enjoy them all afterwards?
Oval; very apt for the time of the year. I'm not into Easter chocolate egg at all.
Mandy
Nice simple shot, well on theme. The foil coming adrift at the top of the big egg could have been smoothed down.
Pete
Oval
Yum, yum
It's nice that you've added the eggs around the bottom.
Wet - Lovely old building looks like it is about to get wetter.
Juxtaposition - I like the idea, but fell it could do with a bit of boost in the colour
Oval - egg-cellent choice for the theme.
Oval, looks really good Mandy, I like the background, and the natural light works well with the shiny paper.
Hi Mandy, I've been quite behind too especially with commenting. Have some time this weekend so hope to catch up
Heavy - Shame about the day again. Looks like an interesting place to go. Certainly heavy and I think it looks like a hand, not sure if its meant to or if thats just the way its worn
Wet - Lovely shot very chocolate box image but that water is worryingly high!
Juxtaposition - I like this the colours all work well together and spot on for the theme
Oval - Lots of ovals and all edible Nice a bright and a good neutral bg makes the eggs stand out well.
Straight - Good pov and dof. Lovely wood of the guitar but I'm not keen on the bg on this one, for me the stitching is a bit of a distraction
Thats very Mandy, Guitars are tricky at best, and that angle works a treat for the theme.....Lovely top too - walnut ? What brand, I dont immediatly recognise it.....
Nice shot for straight Mandy, I thought of doing something similar but decided on something else that I'm still trying to get a shot of.
