Hi Sarah,
Close - I think #2 and #3 have more potential than #1, but to me they both look underexposed and I think the lighting need tweaking. You've got Exif turned off so I can't tell if you used a flashgun and what your settings were.
Number 3, wow, nothing else to say
Says it allHi Sarah
Close....Close knit family is a good fun image with a great title but the winner by a country mile for me is the Gerbera...exquisite framing , superb color & DOF...that needs framing
Play.....another one here who's never heard of mancala...all crit's been mentioned so I won't bore
I like the pastel colours and abstract feel of #3, but #1 edges it for me. It's a nice simple idea and well composed.
Cheers.
Hi Sarah,
Close.... I love the idea of #1 but my vote is for#3 so delicate
Like the triptych idea very good, not sure on the focus of the bottom RH one though I would have gone more central the other 2 spot on.
#1 for the take on the theme though I prefer #3 as an image. Nice shades
Hi Sarah, 1 and 3 for me like the play on words in 1 and 2 i love the colour and composition
have to disagree with Nathalie about the exposure i don't think you could lighten it any more without blowing it out and ruining the colour
Number 3 for me too. Lovely soft tones and nice abstract composition. I like it a lot!
Definitely #3 for me. I like the colour variation, the strong lines of the petals and the abstract feel to it. Very Freda Kahlo! Excellent work.
Nice set of images and good thinking about close and knit for #1. I like #2 but feel #3 is my favourite. Outside the 52, it's a bit of a signature shot for you, so well done for including it in the theme. I've since seen the 50 shades edited version of this and the exposure is much improved.
preference for the middle one - the white flower for me, although there's definately something about the last, with the range of "pink" tones, and the stretching out of the petal, with focus beautifully on the front edge of it.
The figures in the first don;t add, the closeness of the shot just brings out the lack of detail in them. (not your fault though)

Close - not keen on the family one sorry but love 2 and 3. With 2 like the heart shaped centre plus the detail of the petals and with three the colour does it for me wonder what 2 would look the if it was the colour of 3.
Hi Sarah - Great triptych - lovely colours. For close, No 1 doesn't do anything for me at all, was undecided about 2 or 3, but your final re-working of 3 takes the biscuit
Oooo look another 3
Again some great pictures, As I scan down them I like the characters on the carpet, but the 1st flower pic beats it for me, but then the second... Damn I REALLY like that, I love how you have lit that and picked out that one petal
Hi Sarah
Play - good subject and all 3 shots have their merits. But i would like to see the same dof in each and, for me , I wold have the long one at the bottom with the other 2 on top, for the 'strength' of the image
Close - all 3 have merit in their own right and are diff to each other - therefore difficulty in choosing. #1 is very humorous with your own(?) knitting as a base and some nice colours in the models. tend to agree that the lack of detail in their faces pulls the image down a bit. #2 - lovely colour and comp. Good lighting. #3 beautiful colours and a very arty abstract treatment - to be perfect the very, very small 'bits' sticking up in middle and towards end would need to be removed and then ready for the wall!
Final comment relating to all 3 is that the crops have been very well judged for the subjects.
1. Close but not my sort of picture.
2. Lovely shot, lots of detail and shades.
3. Really lovely shot, the colours and the shapes are great.
Number 3, wow, nothing else to say
Thank you!
I quite like the slightly darker #2. It's a great photo - it's sharp but smooth.
Close: No three is great! the soft pastel tones, shallow DOF and composition compliment the floral subject perfectly. Well done!
Says it all
The Gerbera image is my favourite of the 'Close' theme images. Love the soft colour.
A cracking shot loving the reflection of the flower in the top off the bubble.
Thank you Graham, bubbles are very frustrating but I was determined to get this and not get beaten by a little bubble!! I agree about the bw one I don't even know why I did it!!sounds like you've had just about as many frustrations as me this week!!
But well worth it to get a shot like that. Love the black BG to really bring out the colour (the B&W on your flickr is much less nice).
Super job getting the reflection of the flower in the top of the bubble.

Thank you Simon!Love it.
Excellent Sarah , well done, it was worth the effort, reflection is stunning ..........and I thought I was trying for the impossible!
