weekly Posiview's TP52 2015. Week 52 Christmas added and FINISHED :)

Very nice colours in that sky and a nice shot. Nothing to crit here for me.
 
Hi Andy, fantastic coloured sky I am very envious, only crit I can offer is maybe more of the sky and slightly less of the water, but thats a little picky

you all seem to be having a good time, had a look at the other thread
 
Bold - Not sure the smiling expression fits the fact that there’s a ghost behind Isabelle. I see what you were trying to achieve though

Relax - A slightly bizarre interpretation but very “Posiview” if you know what I mean. I’m slightly worried about the amount of blood rushing to your head but at least you had clothes on LOL

Vertical - The conversion brings quite a classy feel to the image and a subject that fits the theme very well. One slight niggle is to fix the curve of the slabs at the bottom of the picture which now scrolling down I see you’ve fixed although that’s skewed the bottom of the column.

Mouth - Wow those are vivid colours. I’d be prone to cropping a fair chunk off the bottom to concentrate the eyes on the skyline
 
I don't know how I have missed so many of your shots - they are stunning.

Bliss - I like the lone tree shot. It kinda works much better than I expected as a triptych but it doesn't strike me as being related to the theme.
Fragile - Perfect! You do look VERY fragile :D
Scenic - Another lone tree but this one is spot on (y)
Companions - I like what you have done with the cranes but for me, the second shot really hits the mark. Very well seen and nicely out of the box :)
Watery - Very nice shot. Tack sharp with loads of detail. I prefer the catch lights left in.
Bold & Relax - Again, I like your thinking on these two shots. Well thought out and set up.
Vertical - I like the mono - really emphasises the texture in the stone.
Mouth - Doesn't quite hit the mark with regard to the theme for me but Wow! What a beautiful sunset. I too would loose a bit of the FG maybe?
 
Hi Andy,

Catching up on some comments so hopefully this feedback may be of use somehow.

Patterns - I like this one, although may have not known what it was if you hadn't said, but in all honesty I dont think that matters at all, really bright abstract photo and it fits well, makes my eyes go funny too lol.

Bliss - I really like the tree and how you've split it up, its a really good photo and i'm going to steal this idea for something at some point as i've not done anything like that yet, but for me even though #1 is good, i think #2 fits the theme a lot better, and that sunset is great.

Fragile - 'Look into the eyes' lol. Fits the theme well, i know a few people did similar but I cannot compare/won't compare as i've not seen them all at the same time.

Scenic - #1 Massively impressed here, I saw this when you first posted this and I looked for it again but couldnt find it for some reason, but this is a great photo in my eyes. Fits the theme well, well composed, great light, really love the snow, best one of your so far.

Companions - Works well, well composed, a good photo, but not my cup of tea for some reason and I don't know why sorry.

Elegant - lol, elegant I like this one, works well, and has humour too.

Watery - A really sharp photo here, fits the theme, and different, i agree with a few others about the reflection but i don't think it spoils the image. The edit works better, but i think it's also lost something too.

Bold - no 1 for me, eerie lol, but not massively my cup of tea again, it does fit the theme but it's just something about it that doesn't work for me sorry

Relax - again lol, very comical and interesting take on Relax, I like it. I bet you get some funny looks with all these funny positions and photos you are pulling off.

Vetical - this one works well, i considered doing something for my version of this one but struggled with the weather.I don't think the symmetry is a problem, and i dont think i would have noticed until i looked at other comments and went back to it.

Mouth - I like this one, "472 second exposure for the sky and 1 second for the water", what do you mean, sorry this is probably really obvious...

Mouth - wow I am so jealous that is simply stunning, the colours in the sky are amazing. The silouhetting of the tree line really works for this image, I have no crit to offer.

Bruja said:
Lovely sunset Andy, colours are fab. For me I'd prefer a 4x2 crop as there is not much happening at the bottom, but that's just personal taste. The wider expanse of open water gives more of an impression of e river mouth I suppose :thinking:

Thanks all. @Bruja I'll give the crop a go. I think I got too attached to the reflection.

Thanks, all, especially to @Delta Skies , @Leebert , @ThyJones for the catchups (y)

All valid crit and, as usual, all taken onboard to improve my photography.

@ThyJones, Mouth was two exposure merged in Photoshop. I really wanted to long exposure to smooth out the water but a breeze kept making ripples in the water :arghh:

Cheers all.
 
Strange how certain themes don't grab me. Initially thought this was a belter.

#1 was something that sprang to mind after watching The Walking Dead. Crowds of zombies outside trying to get me :help:

#2 is posted to show how low I was tempted to go :oops: :$ The concept was there but not the heart.

Anyways, is it Friday yet :woot:

Cheers.

Hi Andy,

#1 for me - great concept and really well shot. I wouldn't like to come across that crowd on a dark night :)
 
Number one for sure love the idea. Black and red works a treat too ;-)

Gaz
 
#1 isn't really doing it for me I'm afraid. I thought it was the front of a PC tower initially - you know the ones with all those LEDs. I think because the window frame is quite dark, I didn't get it. I'm thick like that.

So I actually like #2. It's a bit bonkers, but I had to admire the effort gone into the all the individual faces on fingers. Different hair styles and everything!!

Mad... Just mad...
 
I like the way you can see some of the zombies eyes glowing through the curtains ... cool.

#2 ... :agree: ... Mad... Just mad...
 
Hey Andy!
Mouth..... Lush colours and I'm not at all jealous [emoji12]

Crowd.... Well #2 made me laugh (it's well done though!). Liking #1 the best I think - the eyes just behind the curtains are especially cleverly done!

Cheers, ferg, glad someone noticed the eyes behind the curtains (y)

I have to admit the first thing I thought of with the first pic was evil eyes, so I'd say job done!
The second does make me chuckle though :LOL:
 
Hi Andy ....not been here for a while.

Smashing choice for Vertical and I love the POV and processing ...an impressive shot.

Glorious sunset in Majorca ...one of my favourite places, I'm assuming that river is running into the sea?

I thought like Ian on #1 Crowd initially, but now I get it, I like it.....an original idea!
I think I'm with him on #2 as well ....it is a bit bonkers :wideyed:

Thanks for the positive comments .

Susie, sunset was in Majorca, it was a river running into the see....wish I was there now :(

Cheers.
 
Now then matey ,thought I'd best have a catch up !


Vertical......Iain was right , OCD twitches from the the 1st shot, most unlike you in fairness , edited version sorts the squiffiness though , Love the mono conversion (y) Cracking dday there as well :)

Mouth...what a sunset, best I've seen a really long time & the 1st one I've had chance to shot in what seems like forever ! Just the right amount of layering between the tree's & mountains, lovely movement in the sky & a hint of movement in the water ....brilliant way to remember that trip :clap:

Crowd......nowt wrong with that matey ( the red eye's shot that is ), love the couple showing through the curtains .....good & different take on the theme (y)
 
The colours in mouth are beautiful, along with the movement in the sky. I really like the difference in the strength of silhouette between the trees and the hills (if that makes sense), makes for an interesting layered feel.

Crowd #1 is a cracking idea, and nicely done.
 
Nice idea on the Zombies Andy, and its not even Halloween :D

Great idea for it Andy.. You always have a great interpretation of the themes.

#2
made me giggle...

Cheers, I do try to produce something different.
 
Hi Andy, love the blackness (if thats a word) of the curtains and overall image of the first pic for crowd, less eyes for me though maybe as few as 3 sets of eyes, 3's a crowd as it were, i think it might be more menacing :thinking:
the bus stop faces are really scaring me funny but quite disturbing :runaway:

of the two flower shots the first one for me, the second one lacks a little light, though the first one looks like it's upside down :thinking: not sure why
 
susiejb said:
The first one has the edge ....absolutely smashing Andy, but fabulous detail and colour in both :clap:

Cheers all, good point about the number of eyes, Allan, and the flower is upside down. It was one of the flowers I bought Jackie for our tenth wedding anniversary...... And snapped it so had to rush, photograph it in situ and sneak it back into the base :bat:

Not sure why I posted the second one, looking againt, the composition is not very good.

Cheers.
