I like this too, capture din a good position, bounced flash might have been a little better as well as cropping out the edge of the sofa

Close Eye... by PitiedMonkey, on Flickr
Off the cuff idea for me, this was the best of a lot of shots and a short period of blindness...

Yep lovely and sharp on the pupil, not easy to do that, they really are amazing things close up, seems as though you could look inside !!!

I prob could have done with another flash rather than just the built in camera one - bit dark underneath. Bit awkward taking shots of my my own eye.

"Eye" agree with you there.... think you might have cropped a bit too close maybe, nice detail on the wavy bits that go through the iris though.

Hi Dave
I tried this type of shot last.... & gave up , far to blooming difficult ! Like the detail in the iris , don't mind the small flash bright spot at all....

The eye is certainly sharp but maybe either a bit too closely cropped or not cropped enough if you know what I mean.

Dodgy Bubble Shot by PitiedMonkey, on Flickr
Week 4 - Bubble. Will be having another go at this once I have managed to clean the mess up in the kitchen!! Dislike the DOF a lot.

Fitting for the theme, good effort on catching something that's tricky to photograph.

It's a kitchen bench, had a lamp shining from the back which might have caused the speckles in the bench to look like that.

Nice clean bubble put in just the right place compositionally. I'm not sure about the top right corner though. Maybe a bit distracting.

Hi Ya
agree with the others....really sharp , like the hint of rainbow colors in it as well top right has been mentioned but sometimes you just have to take the shot as bubbles are tricky little fella's

Week 5 - Smoke. Playing catch up. Note to self - don't use a scented candle for photography when you can't stand them!

Fits theme as there seems to be plenty of smoke there.

I find it a little indistinct but it's certainly smoke.

Hi Dave
as I struggled with this theme I'm not really in a position to crit ,I can see the smoke , odd though it is I think mono works here ,just wondering what the bits are on the lhs of the glass ?
