Hi Lee ....I like the fact that you haven't used a solid background, it works really well. I think it has to be the first one for me, although the second one is interesting, the image a the top of the 'pile' is maybe a bit too bright. It will be interesting to see what others think.
to what d00d has said below.
OOOOH .... I like #1 .... you do a mean mono image Lee.
Effort - I like this shot and an excellent choice for the theme.
Technology - No. 1 for me
Yes, #1 Lee. I agree with Susie about your choice of bg - I think a solid one would not have worked as well. Good choice for theme.
I like the first too - the dof works better for me here - very sharp and clean looking.
Technology 1 is spot on for me also, Lee. A very good idea well executed.
Really like No1 love it the angle
technology - Right on Theme and suits the b+w
I'm preferring the first one for Technology Lee, the mono really makes the screen stand out nicely
So sorry to hear that Lee - hope he's on the mend soon.Thanks for the cool comments, Like I said been in and out of hospital this last week with my dad, full body stroke (bleed on the spinal column), not as bad thankfully as it sounds, very early days but positive signs of movement. I think I might fall behind in the next week or so. I will try and keep up and comment on as many 52's as possible.
So sorry to hear that Lee - hope he's on the mend soon.
Hi Lee, sorry to hear of your father's health issues - I do hope he recovers fully. Keeping fingers crossed for you.
A couple of good images for technology; I'm not 100% convinced by the background - I find myself wanting to see what's there lurking in the shadows, which detracts slightly from the subject. But still well taken shots and nice processing to boot.
Hi Lee, firstly sorry to read about your Dad and I do hope hes making good progress.
The 52 pales into insignificance compared to what you're dealing with, but just to say that I really like image #1; it's simple and effective and conveys the theme very well. B&W is definitely the right choice for this and I like the non-solid background, which gives it a more natural, less "product shot" feel
