I love the texture on the surface of the screw, nice lighting, and the central composition works well.
Both silhouettes are good, but the grass is something special. Great spot and really nicely done.
Sorry to have been comentarily remiss!
Entertainment is fab....funny.
Spirals are grand too....love the spring reflection.
Sillhouette?....The second shot, for me, is an absolute winner.
I love both silhouette shots. Cracking images and that's all I can say.
Hi Andy, have to say the second one for me, the first one the more I look at it the more the copied birds? and the mirrored sky? seem to stand out. it's a great idea but not sure it's quite working for me
the second one is superb
Hi Andy,
A fair old catch up from me...
Crowd - I like the crowd of Zombie eyes. Especially as some of the eyes are partially obscured by the curtains. Cracking shot.
Close up - Neither work for me I'm afraid. The composition of the first helps it but the pp takes the edge off them sadly - sorry.
Alphabet - Interesting concept. Not sure I see the link to the theme though.
Machine - Fantastic image. I would like to see a touch more top and bottom though.
Sound - Lovely shot. Your daughter seems really immersed in sound. The subtle lighting works really well.
Experiment - I know you say it was a rush job but I think that is fantastic
Heat - I like this. Subtle mirrored match head and flame. Very nice and spot on theme.
Figures - A grab shot it may be but it is on theme and does get the grey matter stirring. As a photo, it looks a touch flat.
Household - Very clever - spot on theme and the second is very well done
Limit - Very funny Poor chap has definitely reached his limit!
Bizarre - Very clever again but maybe a touch too fringe for me...
Broken - Poor Froggy. It's only the eyes that give it away. Good use of shallow DoF.
Entertain - Another one that made me smile despite it's faults
Spiral - The spring for me. The reflection makes it
Silhouette - The copied gulls and mirrored sky doesn't work for me but the grass does
Looks like an elephant to me, Andy.
Cool. Love the background on the 2nd shot. Nice lighting on the... erm... thing, too!
Thanks all, silhouette #2 is s seal
Cheers.
Oh Yes! I didn't see that at first... How dumb of me <cuckoo>
Great idea Andy, a bit different and nicely "out of the box "
Well certainly unusual, nothing wrong with a bit of paper folding at your age, I think the first one works better, but thats rather irrelevant it's the thought that counts
... obviously a seal, now you mention it. ... liking #2 ... good BG, good contrasting colours, good idea.
EDIT #2 is Animals 1
Seal? no surely it's a puppy dawg.
Loved the first one Andy, the bright blue counterpointing the subdued tones of the scenery.
But I prefer the second (Animals 1). The colours are just so much richer.
Silhouette: Both shots have their merits but on balance I prefer the birds as there are no OOF parts to distract [me] from the image. Not that the OOF bits are a bad thing but it is the decider between the two pictures for me.
Phwoar!
I always act suspicious at the airport but no luck yet... any tips?
B.
GULP ! (I'm mentally back to the wall creeping towards the exit door). Nicely done Andy - great response to the theme.
Hi Andy, that's excellent, don't even think it needs the reddened eyes, you have got the pose just right and the tightness in the frame the old kind of film edging works too
excellent
Ah, the gloves strike again; it's becoming quite a theme in itself. Darkly threatening
This is a grower. Wasn't sure about the frame nor the OOF hand at first ... but yes.
Hey Andy
Quick catch up....
Entertainment - Nice idea, love how this is lit and the great look on your face
Spiral - A couple of great mono images, for me it's the spring, love the dark background and the reflection
Silhouette - Another couple of nice images, for me the second shot is a clear winner, super detail !!!
Animal - Good to see yet another two too choose from, and again i'm going for the second shot, love the rocks, smooth water and the bold animal shape... cracking idea
Medical - I had the exact same idea... well with Mrs Dk in the shot not your Jackie... nice processing, liking the look, sure looks like she means business
