Interesting take on the topic, but love the way you managed to capture the spray coming of the surface and the look of concentration on the guy's face. Nice work.
Hi Paul,Hi David a bit of a catch up for me, sorry it's taken me so long...
Companions: great concept for the theme. Very personal and engaging. I agree with @fabphoto that a full cup of coffee would work better, but still. The crop is interesting - I'd be tempted to include a bit more of the coffee cup perhaps, but also understand why you decided a closer crop was more intimate. You did well to include just enough of the background chairs etc. so we know it's a coffee shop but not too much that it's distracting. Great shot for a phone!
Elegant: well that's a beauty. Perfectly lit - just enough detail off the metallic paint, fantastic control of the reflected glare from the metal and super shadows which really accentuate the texture of that beautiful badge. An absolutely cracking shot - I think your best yet! Well done
Watery: well, as a former hockey player and someone who's tried to shoot a match during the Commonwealth Games, I know how fast this game is, especially on a good surface like that one (very jealous!) Framing is fantastic, judging by the water spray he's in the process of hitting it, so the ball's about to move through frame - absolutely perfect composition. Top notch shot - could easily be in a paper or online match commentary, it's that good for me
Thanks Andy. I keep trying to think outside the box!Water, another interesting take on the theme.
Nice detail in the splash.
Cheers.
As to the hockey, I am a bit of a freelance sports photographer and cut my teeth on hockey. I am club photographer at Beeston Hockey Club and as well as covering their games, I have also done work for England Hockey. Had many images in Newspapers and online magazines. Great fun and a great way to learn about the art of sports photography!
Thank you David - too kind!Yes I can see ... professional stuff.
someone else did one with the squirrel eating from their hand which reflects the theme a bit more, but even so the animal is being bold by getting so close. I think it needs to be turned clockwise ever so slightly. And sorry but I don't like the coin, it didn't make sense to me and it looks disjointed. Maybe if the coin had been next to the seed...
Hi David, nce shot of the squirrel, but I have to agree with Summer, the threepenny bit doesn't work for me - sorry
LOL David, Yes greys really can be bold at times.
TBH though I'm also not keen on the thruppenybit.
We have a family of squirrels in our garden and they certainly are bold as brass.
Lovely textures on the fur and good light. The eye looks a little OOF and, yeah, the coin looks a little artificial (which I appreciate it is).
Cheers.
Bold cheeky bold ... I like it, well caught. I'm another who's not keen on the thruppenybit.
Hi, agree with the above comments about the coin there is no need really, nice pic of the squirrel though
