Like your take on the theme, a different type of vehicle that's uncommon elsewhere.
A handsome horse indeed, both images work for the theme but the horse is my favourite
Hi Andrea, I won't go right back as I'm so far behind but I must say I love your photo of the apples, really lovely composition they look delicious.
I like the idea of showing off some local traditions and your Vehicle does that perfectly, we have some old family links to the Isle of Man so it's always of interest. Keith is a beauty, I'm sure he'd love your portrait
yo Andrea
Graceful ... Like the way the light & slow shutter speed makes the water stand out.
Fruit ... just great, pin sharp.
Vehicle ... love the feeling of movement but without the blur.
I've had a look through your thread and really like what I see. My favorites are pleasure(able), because yours looks like my cats lying in the sun, and tiny which is so colorful.
That's a really interesting vehicle for the theme...but I'm with you on preferring Keith - what a handsome chap!
Very apt pic from you Andrea and nice and sharp too.
Great picture, love the reflection, and definitely on theme
Great shot Andrea, great reflection and even better with it being in mono
Very nicely done, is that a leather jigsaw?
Super idea Andrea, and a great reflection, I also like the processing too as it lessons any distracting colours for me
very well done indeed great lighting, excellent idea
My initial thoughts were the same, but I decided it was to easy, but I really like what you have done here.
The way its lit is very good particularly.
What a great reflection and works really well in mono
Amazing texture and so clever to have isolated the piece in its pool of light Andrea
A jigsaw Piece with a different. ...this is highly creative, with reflection, clever lighting and dof, finished in mono which seems an excellent idea.
Hi Andrea,
Face - I'm not getting the faces, but that's probably just my lack of imagination. it was worth waiting for the right light to bring out all the detail though. As a landscape it works well.
Agriculture - It says agrarian to me. Nicely exposed and I can't even moan about horizons
Graceful - Interesting choice to use a slower shutter speed. I suspect I would have gone with the cliché of freezing the water droplets, but I like the way you've done it here, which gives me food for thought for when I do something like this.
Vehicle - Both great shots. It's a shame to see the lack of patronage for the horse tram. I'm going to throw my hat in with the crowd saying the shot of Keith edges it.
Piece - An obvious subject for the theme, but taken in an unusual way, so works nicely. Like Chris, I thought it was leather until reading the comments.
Nicely done Andrea ...I like the composition and I love mono, well thought out.
WOW on this cracking contrast shot Andrea, the bee is lovely and sharp with great detail. The whole of the shot, bee on the flower is great, best one for contrast imo
Now yes that is a wonderful macro shot Andrea, super summer colours too and loads of sharp detail
That's a great shot Andrea - good and sharp with lots of detail in the flower and bee. Those vibrant colours are perfect for the them too
Nice and sharp, lots of vibrant colours and well composed.
Hi Andrea,
You've captured some smashing detail, those wings are, well, you could be looking at them under a microscope.
Plenty of contrast there, so bang on theme.
