Apologies Phil, I havent looked in on your 52 in a while.
Lovely lighting on root, the simple composition with the negative space to the left make a strong image. Bang on theme.
Handmade, is a lovely object on which again you've handled the lighting well. I am not sure on the composition though, it feels a little tight in the frame and that it could do with something else in there just to add a little perspective. Good luck on catching up. Iain
