Nice topical shot Dan, a nice busy street, even though my eyes keep getting drawn to the high viz coat, you have managed to pick out the Evening Standard sign and the enthralled lady, works for the theme very well
Hi Dan, it's a quick catch-up from me as I've been busy catching up with my themes and it's the first time I've visited your thread. You said that you've tried a 52 in the past and failed, like me, so good luck with your 52 and I hope to see you at the end Thanks for dropping in to comment on mine, and I'll try to keep up to date in future!
Metal - that's a lot of metal, especially that big beam, and I like the way the two main features cross over.
Captive - very dark and atmospheric, and really suits B&W. It's almost like two pictures in one, with the two people working late and brightly lit on one side, and then that mysterious face behind the grille on the left. Quite spooky
Miniature - there's a great sense of scale here, and what is probably quite a high peak and a lot of buildings at its base are made to look very small by your altitude.
Happy - really colourful and unusual sculpture, with a strong sense of contentment. Great for the theme and well spotted.
Abandoned - the empty box and brown leaves behind it hint at the theme, and your back story makes it clear. Very sad, but good on you for doing what you could.
Camouflage - the squirrel is well disguised in its environment so that's the most fitting choice for the theme, but I like the second image because of the contrast of the camouflaged material being so out of place in such urban surroundings. The opposite of the theme really, but I like it
Dangerous - needs no explanation. A big barrier and lots of bright danger warning signs straight ahead, and the clear danger of the tracks off to the side.
Topical - bang on target and I like her bored expression and pose! I've read the comments about the bag on the right, and your thoughts on cropping and proportions, but I think it could work well as a square crop, meaning you could lose the bag and figure on the right completely.
I've enjoyed catching up with your thread and will make sure I keep up to date with it in future
Hi Dan. Good luck with your sub-project. This one definitely fits the bill ... um ... theme. The image contrasts nicely between the natural and man-made Living Worlds.
Now you've started, yuo have to continue
Nice sharp duck.
I feel you should have used the 4' rat perspective trick and given us a "The attack of the 60 ft Duck" shot
Hi Dan, that duck shot works nicely with it looking into the frame, good DoF and liking the wall line at the bottom too
That is incredible.
Love this.
Like he's enjoying the view.
Only downside to that whole image being applied to the theme is whether or not one considers the condolences "artificial"?! Which would be a shame...
