And I finally got my signature to work!!
Hi Michael.
You have had lots of comment on #1 and #2 so I will stick to #3.
I find the first option, the swirl, to be the best. Well thought out and the crop helps a pot. A clever take on the subject and the single word 'sighed' is so sharp and on topic. Alaso it gives me the impression of movement which i think chimes with 'sigh' as to me there is a phsical movement of the mouth, nose and the expelled air when someone sighs. The more i look at it the more I like it.
The book option is good. A good shot and i like the lighting. Also I think that the 'used' nature of the book is good for the shot and the sepia, old look.
And I finally got my signature to work!!
Love the first image; bang on theme!
Spreadsheet Michael, spreadsheet :rules:
Hi Michael
Love both Fear pics, the processing in the 1st one is excellent, but my personal preference just goes to the 2nd shot.
Wonderful take on sigh too. Really excellent work
Hi Michael,
You're doing great with this challenge, interesting takes on the themes.
Direction, love the candles shot, very nicely composed and shot. The colour one has the edge for me too. You've inspired me to give something like this a go at some point in my 52.
Fear , got to be the croc for me, love the shade of black...if that makes sense?
Sigh, the word swirls are brilliant, how did you do that?
Looking forward to seeing what you think of next!

Hey Michael
Don't you just hate it when you feel like that !!!
Oranges... lovely colour but I think too tightly bunched to the left and too tight a crop, I like the lighting too
Sweets... very unusual mate, I like the processing, I haven't tried any mobile stuff yet, i'll have to give the editing stuff a go one day - Certainly my fav of the 2
Here's to you feeling better and an inspirational wk5 word for us
Hi, I've been ill too it really is a drain on the imagination!
I like your first image of the sweets but not convinced on the blue tone.
I like the contrast of the oranges against the blue, they really stand out.
Oh and I hope you feel better soon.
Well done for getting 2 good shots in a week when you have felt ill!! I think I prefer the orange one - it makes my mouth water!! If I'm being picky it would be nice to see a little more space on the left!
I prefer the orange photo. A bit stock photography to me but what i cant figure out is the noise in the image is that because of PP?
It's the oranges for me too. The colours are great, the blue background works really well. I agree with DK and Sarah about the left hand side. Keep up the good work.
Oranges for me as well, I love the bold, complimentary colours.
Nicely done!
I prefer the first one but its a bit tall for me. Crop off the top two bags leaving the four bottom ones and it might work better. A sharp DSLR shot rather than a slightly blurry phone one and it would be great!
I get the oranges one with the colours but its not shouting sweet to me.
Hi, Michael, hope you're feeling better
Sweet #1 for me. I like the B&W low key effect.
Sweet #2...hhmmm, not got me really. Mainly because the oranges seem to be floating.
Cheers and good luck for the next theme
'Sigh' really good take on the theme. There are some really good images appearing this week.

So you could just reshoot any week you wanted?
Hi Michael. Of the 2 the oranges one wins it. The blue background goes well with the colour of the fruit, like the lighting on it too
Hi Michael
sweet shot #1 is best for me - I like the restricted colour palette and the variety in the scripts.
For someone who was feeling grotty you've done remarkably well!
I love the idea and pp on the first one - and definitely prefer the cropped version. As you said - your camera would have been better than your phone, but you've done a good creative job with it.
#2 I agree with the comments about too tight a crop on the left - but we've all been there - you get so far through pp and then 'see' something wrong. :bang: I love the bright punchy colours and the very slight reflection in the blue. The multi-directional light makes the oranges look a bit too polished, but it doesn't detract from a bright punchy shot.
Hope you're feeling better.

I really like the processing on Sweet - the chocolate one, but I also really like the contrast of the orange on blue Other than that I can't really add to the comments made by the others keep it up
