Like the idea for 'style' - great choice of colours. I might have gone for a slightly lower angle, with a tighter crop and maybe made more of the reflection in the leather.
Great shot for your 'new' entry - it really tells a story, and I like the concept behind 'open'.
Agree with the comments about thinking outside the box - keep it up

Nice DOF, with some pretty Bokeh
I like the shot, good DOF, like the choice of text
was it all from camera, or did you add some of the unsharpness (sorry, what we call it at work!) in pp?
Week 4 has nice DOF.
Week 5 isn't doing anything for me - there seems to be a lot of posts using books to achieve the theme. I prefer the book images when there is something else in the shot that links to the text/ theme. Can't remember who's 52 it was, but they shot a book with some roses on it and it really worked well. - Had to post the link in case you'd not spotted it - I'd be well chuffed if I'd thought of this; 40 odd weeks to do so!
Still liking your week two - I wonder what the theme will be for week 25?!
posiview said:I was looking to do a filament, but we only have then energy saving bulbs!
I'm not sure which lens you used but a macro lens shot would have been great, that is really tight to the filament.
Nevertheless, you're really retained the detail in the top filament.
My screen's not calibrated so unsure if you intended to have the actual bulb in the image. When I push my laptop screen back the glass almost disappears and it looks much better to me.
Cheers.
Excellent take on this week's theme.
Well done! I have thought about trying this kind of shot for a while, but can only seem to find energy saving lightbulbs, or opaque ones.
Hiya
I am doing a quick catch-up tonight and noticed that I haven't visited your thread yet, so apologies for the delay in getting to it. I think I am just about there with seeing 52'ers threads, just a few more and then I should be on track to keep up with everyone for the rest of the year.
Week 1: Wow I really like this, especially the way you got the 'HOME' in focus and the rest OOF.
Week 2: This is so cute and I love the way you have arrange the scan, calendar and teddy, the composition is great and the selective colouring of the date works perfect. I bet you are really looking forward to your new arrival and I'm sure the little'n will feature in some of your later pics for the project
Week 3: Oooh, lovely shoe and the black set agains the red works well. Have to agree with Mark about the creases in the dust bag though.
Week 4: Another good take on the theme, even though you say you were short for time. Once again like the focus on the 'open'/'closed'.
Week 5: Probably not the most inspiring shot, but the text pretty much says it all. Nice DOF and like the letterbox style of framing.
Week 6: ..... maybe you will get chance to take a pic and post later (just let us know if you do .... so we can take a peek).
Week 7: Yep I like this shot, although agree about the glass ... think it would have been better to either have it all in or none. But great idea (one I think I might try for one of my 365 shots )
I have really enjoyed looking through your project and look forward to seeing the other weeks to come.
Well done so far
Cheers
Dawn
