This weathered wooden fence to the small wood is only yards from my house. Taken late this afternoon when the sun is low in the horizon hence the golden/yellow cast.

Nice set and a good start Stan

Hi Stan. Light is best in the shot you chose, but I think I actually prefer what's going on in the 3rd image.
Shame the light isn't better. Maybe one for another theme maybe?

 

[BobBCN]

Three good shots. Number 1 for me, with the golden trees!

Thanks, Dave. Looking forward to another 52 weeks of punishment fotos!

Thanks, Tim. I just have to go back there when the light is better for another theme.

Thanks, Bob. The shot with the Golden Tree!

 

[Adamcski]

I like the lighting in the first image, shame it wasn't there for the third image.

 

[SimonH]

Nice set Stan.

Thanks, Adam. Although they were taken only 10 minutes apart but the camera was at different angle to the setting sun.

Nice set Stan.

Thanks, Simon.

 

[Harlequin565]

All three are great images but that low sun in your chosen shot really makes it work. Nice!

 

[Cloudforest]

I like the one you've chosen the best Stan. Lovely light and low PoV.

Thanks, Ian and Pete. The setting sun's warm and soft light made the differences.

 

[eoSimon]

Love the light in #1 and the strip of sky leading to the centre of the image.

 

[AlanDorset]

Love the light falling on the subjects

 

[HelenC]

Some lovely images there. I like the light and pov of your chosen shot.

Thanks, Simon. I didn't notice that and I wonder I could use that for the Nifty Fifty challenge 'leading Line' theme!

Cheers, Alan.

Some lovely images there. I like the light and pov of your chosen shot.

Thanks, Helen. I had the camera at knee height to have the gate (main subject) dominates the image.

I just notice David @wornish also has the same idea! I took this about the same time as he post his.

Week 02 Hard (As Nails)
Hard As Nails by Stan, on Flickr

You may ask the reason why a rusty painted nail? My thoughts behind the oddity are;

a) to add interest and some colour to the boring subject
b) the juxtaposition of shiny and rusty
c) the hard-as-nails and the softer feminine painted (finger) nails.

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - a bit different and I like it

 

[ShinySideUp]

The red nail does the picture a lot of favours with the contrast, not only of the red bit, but the different colour nail too.

 

[Boots]

I like that! The one different nail adds a lot.

 

[BobBCN]

Agreeing, the red-tipped nail adds interest/mystery........

Pleased you like the shot.

Thanks, gents. My thought too, the colour and rust add some interests to the shot.

 

[wornish]

Great image. Think it must be great minds think alike.
You put a lot more planning in than me. I wanted to use some really old nails but couldn't find any.

Thanks, David. Yes great minds indeed.

I found a few rusty ones among all the shiny nails. I thought an odd one would add some interest then I saw my wife doing her nails and that's where the painted tip idea came from.

 

[PhotoVanGogh]

I was wondering about the red and was gonna ask. My first thought was you wanted to make the viewer think of blood. Great work

Thanks Lewis, and that too with a couple of drops of paint.

 

[Simonbrown16]

A good take on the theme, I really like the nail with the red paint it makes the picture pop.

 

[HelenC]

A different take on the nail theme. As said, the red adds interest.

 

[Harlequin565]

I really like that one Stan. Effort has gone into it which is clearly obvious from the photo.

Thank you, Helen. A touch of red does add some interest.

Thanks, Ian.

Plenty of these soft and fluffy stuff up here and have been falling, on and off, since Sunday.
I also added a touch of 'soft focus' on the leaves only with PS.

From Sunday and on and off since then.

And now Storm Isha is going to hit us this weekend!

No fair. We only had ice and bittery cold wind.
I was going to ask about the photo looking a little soft, but I can see you've explained that
