I really need to post a photo of my hubby to show what a thick head of hair he has (apart from two small areas on his forehead that are slowly shrinking) This was taken down his parting, but still quite thick there!St-ephen said:Cracking shot! What's it like being married to Wayne Rooney?
Ok, so these are hopefully less vomit inducing
Thanks Allan. Welcome to TP and the crazy world of the 52, it has been very educational in a very short time.alsjazzera said:I like the Handmade entry I dont find the windows to distracting as my eyes are drawn to what your daughter is looking at as she seems so interested. Also like your entry for SIGH.
Blank_Canvas said:Your mother in law and daughter is a really nice picture too and definitely one to cherish.
Thank you Nick and Darren, it will be in my favourites selection when I finally sort a load out!Manc Man said:think my fav has to be number 3.
I think it would have worked better if you could see someone actually working the lathe, but it was tucked in the corner and I wouldn't have been able to get a clear shot!Southdowns said:The selective colour in number 2 works well, but they don't really say handmade to me.
My PP has clearly worked to tone down the windowAsha said:The window being no distraction whatsoever!
Thanks John, she got bored after about 10 minutes so we enjoyed the quiet concentration while it lasted!!fazer said:Love the concentration of your daughter watching nan.
Cheers, I think you can go too far with this technique but sometimes a little makes a big impact!St-ephen said:I'm not usually a fan of selective colouring, but that lathe shot is a belter.
Mmm, that's what I did to the window in my other handmade! I might have another tinker with it at some point.mtjhome said:Hi Marsha, Liking your two handmades. The selective colour one doesn't really do it for me. I prefer #1. Maybe an alternative would have been to just de-saturate a bit the background instead of going all the way to B&W.

I guess the machine spins it, while hands work it?superpippo said:Hi Marsha
#1 and#2 don't really fit the bill for me as the items seem more machine made than handmade. However #3 is excellent. spot on theme, crystal clear, loads of concentration form both - really lovely pic.
snorton said:Hi Marsha, for me #3 handmade is the winner. Such a lovely shot, colours, dof, lighting spot on, the window certainly isn't a distraction. When I look at that shot I'm immediately drawn to the concentration on both your daughter's face and nan nan's face, hence why the window doesn't cause a problem. Someone mentioned the crop at the bottom? For me the crop on this shot works absolutely perfect. Love it and for me a classic example of a perfect family candid
Rolyratman said:Think the other two say industry a bit more than handmade but having spent my time on lathes I can see where you're coming from. That selective colouring relly works a treat.
Andy, I hadn't noticed those! Peppa pig obviously wanted a look too!posiview said:Best of all for me, thought, are the eyes on your daughter's top
Matt this shot was actually for handmade! The metal bush was produced by my Uncle in Law on his lathe! But hey, it makes a good industry shot too:nuts:Loving the selective colour shot on industry,
