weekly Sparrow's 52, 2016 -Week 38 and 39 metal reshoot and big added

[Leebert]

Hi Liz,
Nice shot for Personal but I echo Stan's comment re the front of the jar is a touch in shadow.

 

[d00d]

Interesting take, interesting lighting.

 

[purplepleaser]

Liz Hi, Personal. Great take on the theme love the lighting and composition

 

[pjm1]

Hi Liz, nice one for personal. I do think the shadows could be lifted slightly - either by adding a touch of front fill (reflector) or in post processing. But otherwise it works really well and the lighting is effective. Good job!

 

[anitacv]

Liking detail and colours in 'Personal'. Would have liked a little more light on front of jar.

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Living world - looks a little bit boggy there, but nice to see a spot of colour.

Spiky - I feel the image is a bit busy for me, I think I would of much preferred a closer POV on the barbed wire.

Artificial - nice image for the theme, well done.

Personal - good composition, love the background, keep up the good work.

 

[Minx]

Artificial - nicely shot with a shine on the pearls but no glare.
Personal - I like the splash of colour the lid gives.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments they are very much appreciated. I am sorry I have not replied to all sooner but it has been a funny old week and I am now late but determined to catch up.

This is just a quick shot with my phone of the new addition to the family. We have called her Emily and we thought it would be quite an 'effort' to introduce her to Jack but he has been a star and after the initial 'what on earth have you brought that in for' they have settled down well and looking like they will be the best of friends.

They look like a lovely pair and you captured their connection well!

 

[susiejb]

You've captured the look perfectly Liz ....I'm glad they're friends

Thanks Emma and Susie, we were a bit worried how it would go but glad to say the careful introduction when much better than anticipated

Technology
I have been playing around with photoshop for this one.

Lovely photo Liz - they look quite contented together (we've got that very same tartan dog !!). Very nicely composed - a picture of domestic comfort.

 

[LC2]

Loving your new model Liz.
Effort - There is a look in her eyes that says "one step closer and you're toast buddy", good capture.
Tech - Lovely sharp focus on her eyes. I love the compositing with her cradling the 'virtual cat'

 

[Emja]

Gorgeous shot of your new girl - it might have been nice to be a bit loer at her level, but that would have caused problems with seeing the virtual cat pictures. well done on the photoshopping - I wouldn't have noticed at all!

 

[DowntonMini]

Two great images Liz,

I love effort you can see the cat thinking if the dog looks away for a second I'm having that

And Technology I really like it is the cat picking waht they want for their birthday?

 

[Minx]

Effort - Lovely picture you can see there is eye contact between them.
Technology - great eye contact fun bit of processing.

 

[susiejb]

Really nice fun shot Liz ....the photoshoppery works really well.

 

[Dark Knight]

Aweee what a lovely looking kitty

Blends in nicely with the blankey, and a nice novel idea for the PP

 

[pjm1]

Some good quality shoehorning there Liz to get images of your new addition into this

Well worth it though and a couple of charming pictures.

 

[d00d]

Cute pussy! Good fun idea.

 

[Manxmaid]

Two lovely images of your new addition, Liz. The connection and curiosity between the two pets in Effort is lovely, especially the respective angles of their heads as they weigh each other up, and the eye contact in Technology is great. Some clever Photoshopping, too

 

[Cobra]

Two great images Liz, it did take me awhile to figure out "Technology" though.
Clever idea

Horizontal - The underneath of a railway bridge!!

[Emja]

You've caught some amazing textures and colour there - fantastic!

 

[rpn]

Without reading your text I thought its some sort of wall panels with horizontal lines. Nice texture and the high contrast works well.

 

[Carl Ayling]

Oh gosh - all colours and textures; quite beautiful ..... in a strange way. Well done for spotting it.

 

[Dark Knight]

OOo LOVE the colours in your Horizontal Liz, the whole thing is full of textures and nice detail - like it

 

[DowntonMini]

Amazing colours and textures love it some great details too

 

[pjm1]

Hi Liz, some nice colours and textures in that bridge. It would make a great background - shame it's not a wall or something where you could pose people in front of it! Nice spot

 

[susiejb]

Love all the texture and colour in that one Liz ....well spotted.

 

[purplepleaser]

Horizontal - Nice texture and the high contrast works well

 

[LC2]

What's not to like
