weekly My 52 2017 ... week 9, NUMBERS added

[SteveSc]

mmmm.....they look very yummy! Nice bright sharp shot, just a slight shame the icing was running on the pink one.

 

[Paulie-W]

I like the crop and the vibrant colours. And of course I'm all for using edible props!

Week 2 what a yummy looking image, ( going to buy some doughnuts later on ) I feel hungry looking at them and there is pink iced ones so its even better....................................... oh wait hang on a mo I nearly forget to say that the image fits the theme, we all need a bit of comfort food in our lives at some point. My only niggle is i would of maybe placed the chocolate doughnut thats on the RHS so you could see the front of it and not the side.

Donuts with sprinkles yum I like how you have put them in a circle and alternated the colours too

Nice and sharp with vibrant colour, lovely!

My "Hairy" chin

TP 52 2017 week 3 Hairy by Paulie-W, on Flickr

 

[Carl Ayling]

Excellent shot Paul - low key b&w gives it a very dramatic feel. Composition and lighting are top notch. Bravo.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Great shot Paul, love the bg and low key with just enough light on the face

 

[susiejb]

I like that offset composition Paul, the dark space works really well. Excellent choice in the b&w and spot on for the theme too.

 

[nickbee]

Very dramatic! Love the contrast and the use of black space to the side.

 

[Dark Knight]

Very nice image Paul, I too like the negative space, a nice bit of eye contact but the focus and attention clearly on your beard, nice one

 

[brrnd]

Great self portrait Paul! Nice low key picture, lighting and B&W are spot on.

I was struggling with this one tbh,

 

[Bruja]

Great self portrait Paul. The composition with all that negative space, the clear focus on the beard, the eye contact and, finally, the processing. What's not to like

 

[d00d]

Top selfie.

 

[posiview]

Nice selfie. Close to the edge, adds to the drama and super eye contact.

Cheers.

Smooth peanut butter
TP 52 2017 week 4 Smooth by Paulie-W, on Flickr

 

[Fuji Dave]

Used to love just eating this stuff straight from the jar, like the main focus on the jar with the oof toast. On theme and good shot

Always a favourite on toast, or in a sammich, with banana

Hi Paul,

Hairy - Great dramatic selfie? Works really well with the hood disappearing into the dark space.

Smooth - I can see where you're coming from with this, but not as strong as last week's shot.
The background is a bit distracting and I feel the crop is a bit close at the top. That said, I quite like the crop into the toast, so perhaps moving the pot down and to the left a smidgen might have been the answer. Dunno, worth a try.

 

[Dark Knight]

Nice one Paul, a good choice for the theme, props and liking the added context with the toast, just enough DoF to make it out too but throw the background out, nice one

 

[Hertsman]

I was tempted to shoot a very similar pic....

Except we only have Crunchy in our house and I cant stand Smooth !

Nicely executed, well done.

 

[rpn]

I love peanut butter and would even have it with ice cream. Image-wise, an easy option but well executed with good Depth-Of-Field and composition.

There will be a few "easy options" for a while, due to building work on the house But will try and make up for it later

 

[Allan.H]

Its peanut butter whats not to like

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Hairy - a cracking selfie shot and very hairy chin indeed, dramatic looking image, I like this one alot.

Smooth - I do like a bit of peanut butter on toast, works for the theme, not to keen on the composition sadly.

Hi Paul, I like the focus on the PB jar, it really draws your eye to to it. I would have been tempted to clone out that bright spot to the left of the lid but it's a minor detail ...it's spot on for the theme.

 

[d00d]

You've got bokeh

The jar is sharp, says Smooth, think the toast could be sharper, but then you'd lose that OOF BG.

Thanks Susie I did try but it looked worse (with my non cloning skills) ...

That`ll be the joy of having more than half the kitchen in the lounge at the moment ... BG`s are a mare to say the least

 

[Carl Ayling]

Spot on theme Paul. I like the composition with the toast up front and the sharp focus on the jar with the shallow DoF helping it stand-out more.

 

[Emja]

A bit tight on top but good sharp focus on the label and I like the oof toast. It's got to be crunchy though

Thank you Emma The lounge windows were in the BG if I lifted the top unfortunately ... Haha crunchy just gets stuck in my teeth

 

[SamuelSlade007]

Smooth shot there Paul .. though I do prefer the chunky myself.. having the spread on the slice adds to the theme
