Nicely done Stan. Colours and DoF work well for me.

Not seen pegs used in the 52 for a while. You've probably started a revival
Liking that there are 3 (maybe 4?) lines in use and the shallow DoF that actually brings two into focus.
Thanks, Tim. I've had pegs as props for a couple of themes over the years.
Cheers, Clive.

Just catching up!!
Music - Sheet music has been a popular element to include for this theme in which it works well.
A bit of contrast too between the old music and the more modern keyboard.
Colourful - Fantastic image, really caught my eye, great crisp lines and solid colours.
Definitely has an optical illusion feel to it.
Something Old - Great reflections, with just the right light conditions. Would it benefit having the black level adjusted?
Liquid - Eye-catching, bright, well defined, like the contrast between the bubbles and the background.
A Household Item - Thankfully the weather has been decent to make use of them!
I like the variations, did you consider a wider shot to get the first peg on the top left in full?

Great example of a mundane subject making an incredible photo. Great DoF.

Thanks, Stuart for the catchup comments.
I've to tip-toe to get the pegs shot so I didn't spend too much time to get different angles.

Cheers, David. I suppose only photography can turn boring clothes pegs interesting.
Thanks, Lee.

Since the lockdown over 10 weeks ago I've taken more photographs of birds and flowers than ever before. Luckily with all these practices, I managed to get a couple that, I hope, fit this week's theme.
This one was taken earlier today; spot the sparrow.

I want to keep that one back in case I can't shoot another but decided to post it anyway.

Thanks, Allan.
I try to keep up with my own guidelines and the spirit of the Challenge, ie photos to be taken after the theme was posted.

I'm not a birdie man either just thought they are common house sparrows. Maybe some expert can confirm.

2nd for me too - not an easy exposure with the bird (sorry for the non-committal sparrow / spadger / twite etc...) in the shadows like that.
First took a couple of looks, and I'll admit that in the main thread I thought it might have been some seeds/bulbs etc hidden under the soil...

Thanks, Alex. let's just call it a garden bird whether it's a sparrow, spadger or twite.

It took me a good while to find the sparrow on the 1st Stan. I think I prefer the 2nd though.

Sparrows are always Spadgers round here.
And Starlings are Sheppies
Sparrows are Spuggies where I'm from (Ashington, Northumberland) - so anyone with Sparrow as a surname got called Spuggy at school.
PS - prefer number two too.

It's amusing that there are so many different names in different regions of the UK.
