Yes pleas Andy
Video emailed to your ********@procoolindustrial.**** email address.
Let me know whether it arrives
I'll study it later, and yes, expect to see it used next year (as long as it either works in Pixelmator, or I get PS for Christmas!).

. Your email arrived on my iPad and I looked at it. Seconds later it arrived on my Mac, and Mail marked it as junk, moving it to the junk folder. Then my iPad synced again, and of course it disappeared! Normally my iPad wouldn't get a chance to retrieve it before it got moved by the Mac; I guess it was because the attachment was so big.
I too at first thought your pencil shot was of a doorway too.
Hi Andy
Negative - #1 shot of your daughter's head is very well handled in terms of light, comp and b/g but does not hit the theme well for me even tho there is neg space in the shot. Can't reconcile such a lovely calm face with the theme.
Pencil shot #1 is spot on and good interpretation
#2 is equally as good with that vivid orange colour, but prob not as much on theme.
Strange thing for me is again how i first interpreted the shot of the pencil. As i scrolled down, the first image came into view, but not the orange one. My immediate thought was what a cracking shot of a shaft of light thro a slightly open door. The image I saw was of a corridor going r to l with a door slightly ajar, held open by some sort of metal device that looks like 2 stacked baked bean tins. The vertical part of the pencil is the upright of the door frame whilst the shaved point is the top of the door frame on the angle of the perspective. You prob won't be able to see this (maybe by leaning back and screwwing up your eyes) but this was my genuine first thought.
May be this Challenge has affected me more than i know.
Should have gone to specsavers
I do prefer the B&W pencil shot, maybe because it is negative like in its tones IYSWIM.
Care to share how you lit this Andy? You've managed to control the light with no spill on the back of the pencil, its very effective.
Your second images for negative work equally well. My vote would go to #1 image of Isabelle, I feel it is a strong enough image without the swirl of light in #2.
Good work rate again Andy, this 52 of yours must be around a 104 by now
Bloomin 'eck...I'm not around for most of the week & you've managed to take & post up 4 shots....I need a job like yours
Pencil in B&W for me , though I do kinda like the glow from the color one....care to share the "How" on this one please ? Really nifty lighting that has me intrigued
Quite like the 1st shot of Isabelle , lovely black BG & expression , the light ring makes her head look " pasted on " to me , but definately a neat bit of pp
& congrats on 6thou posts......
Thats a nice pic
Have a good Christmas
Hi Andy, great idea and execution for busy. My only crit you've already had; the hairline. I think it still looks a little "pasted" even in the edit.
Great bit of lateral thinking.
See you on the other side of New Year
I'm afraid have to agree about the hairline and the background colour. I suppose it wouldn't bee the same without a shot of Isabelle
Congratulations on completing your 52.
Hi ya matey
Congrats on completing & surviving another year in the 52's madhouse
Not 100% on the Busy shot though...think it's maybe the BG that puts me in a dither...bit too clinically white , though your editing skill is way above anything I could do
See you on the other side of the new year in 2013's 52 ...& roll on the end of january
Cheers and no comments necessary - this one as for me
[
As for the pencil image the B&W pips it for me, Just, again clever idea
Hi Andy
Catch up time, sorry but it will be brief as I want to get comments up to date
Colour - That's very effective, Like how you have done that
Shadow - Again a clever idea, not sure on the crop maybe a bit too close to the handle, but I like how you have set it up and the PP is very effective
<EDIT> just see edit - much better
Glow - The first one for me too, the second is a bit too artificial for me, a great colour/glow to the first
Round - I love these shots, both are very effective
With the leaf I prefer the black background, makes the green much more vibrant to me
Negative - I like the first one, very original effect to me
Busy - Great finishing shot, again like the idea and the way you have done it, the eyes lead into the picture well
A great 52 I have followed, well done for finishing, I look forward to seeing your thoughts executed in 2013
Doesn't it just... at least your finished yours
Maybe this should be printed large in your daughters bedroom?

Pop art is some great pp work, love all the colours
Colour is very clever, it makes for a rather unusual take on a tried and tested technique. PP is as ever excellent
Natural reshoot, you clearly have too much time on your hands to be doing stuff like that! But hey, keep doing it, lovely lighting and a yet again another unique take on the theme!
Shadow, it took me a while to figure out what it was:bonk: I like the graininess to it! I can't decide between the original and the edit? I think I prefer that little extra space on the RHS!
Glow, one for me. I know it's dark around the edges but the detail in the shell is better.
Round, wow, love the first one! I like that you can see the guy spinning. It's all white mans magic to me though! Those orbs look like eggs, very surreal! I like the red at the back of the tunnel too. Beads and the leaf thing is odd, they definitely look like real rounds though!
Negative, I think the blank negative looks amazing, just a tad on the dull side! The B&W pencil shot is amazing, love the lighting! I thought it was a door open slightly when I first looked at it:bonk: The shot of your favourite model is very well lit, but her head looks like it's floating a bit! Not sure on that wiggly line thing, could be straight out of Dr Who!!!!
Busy, the hair line looks a little rough to me? But a zany idea to finish on and her eyes really draw you up through the shot.
Well done for finishing your second 52
