Works for me. I'd have put a picture of a tomato on the phone screen though, but that's my sense of humour.
Simple but well thought out
I used to love making those as a kid Creative idea as ever
Sorry you've lost your mojo Andy, you were always one of the most enthusiastic 52'ers.
A fun take on the theme, I remember making one of those as a kid, I like Davids idea with the tomato.
Your linky didn't work on my iPad by the way.
Dark, 2lovely shots Andy, they are both great
power, liking the idea and fitting for the theme, nice colours.
above, worked nicely, never thought about photographing teasels like that! Nice sky.
Here's to the mojo returning soon
Think this is quite clever, loved to play and make them as a kid too
Power - Nice pano Andy, as you say, plenty of detail, it's sharp and I don't see any artifacts
I might have cloned out the rubbish front and centre in the water (but as you didn't have much time, I understand why you didn't).
Nice use of the slowly lightening sky, avoiding a total black one.
Above - Well, I like it. And I like the orientation (sorry DK), the stem leads you from the bottom to the convergance at centre of the shot.
Evolve - I like the concept (I had a similar idea but didn't go for it).
A very nice idea for Hold, like the BG being dark and good main focus on the flower head. Lovely and colourful, and nice one on getting some of your mojo back
I would have looked the arms coming into the frame evenly from the top, other than that I love the colour of the flower and lighting to her hands Andy, nice background too... and Happy Easter :
Some lovely colours in that flower....
Nice shot and on theme.
Very sweet and nice
But was it a Thorntons Easter Egg Andy?
DK has a point. Have you considered an instagram crop, filling the frame completely with Isabelle's hands?
What a beautiful shot Andy - great lighting and the vibrancy of the flower against the delicate colour of Isabelle's skin looks great. I don't mind the asymmetrical arms, but a square crop might work too.
No problem with the crop, just a nice idea well taken as usual
Hi Andy, caught up with my themes so just doing a little catch up of comments. Great portraits of Isabelle. My eldest son is 26 and now an Adult Leader in the Air Cadets, he started going at 13. Great organisation. The Lone tree is just stunning to me. Great idea with the iPhone and the tin can, think we all made those as kids. Like hold too, prefer the square crop lovely delicate flower
Me too, I'd like to see that tooHold ... a beaut. So delicate, so colourful. Original or crop? some where between the two.
Liking the teasels against that sky ... nice exposure.
the phones ... haha well thought out.
Hold ... a beaut. So delicate, so colourful. Original or crop? some where between the two.
Lovely shot for "Hold" Prefer the 2nd square cropped version, excellent lighting, spot on focus and a very sharp image.
I like the wider crop. Beautiful colours.
As others have said, delicate and colourful, FWIW I think I am in the somewhere in between crop camp, although nowt really wrong with the original for me
I love the delicacy of hold. Such a strong photo, I would have that on the wall. Bonus prize for clean fingernails and no chipped nail varnish too! Absolute cracker!
Strong picture for hold but think it needs a crop somewhere between the two and a slight clockwise rotate
Superb shot, i really like that. Love the isolation with the black background, the bright orange of the Tulip and the excellent lighting
Super choice for the theme Andy, I prefer the crop version, the colour of that flower really makes the photo an eye catcher.
HOLD is very beautiful Mr P, i did get concerned when i scrolled down the page and found two areas of fleshed, thought oh no..Mr P is doing one of those shots this week, but lo and behold a charming and beautifully presented shot (the crop does make a difference (but i am on the fence between the two of them))
Square crop works for me Andy, nice colour in the tulip looks great with the bg.
Smoke, nicely on theme Andy, wheres the steaks I don`t like to grip, but the foot on RHS and camper van LHS could of been cloned out, but as it looks like your away it`s fine
I had thought about lighting my bbq for my smoke theme but decided against it, a photo of my bbq sitting in the corner of the courtyard all alone wasn't very inspiring. You on the other hand have incorporated other elements to give extra intrest.
That looks a nice relaxing scene ...and plenty of Smoke too, hope you're having a good time Andy.
You got the shot in Andy, and it hits the theme bang on.
As you say, a grab shot, but you've kept it in the right week
Is your interweb fixed now?
A grab shot as you say but on theme can't ask for more than that
