Hi Simon
Watery....liking that a lot , the idea is good , the placement/crop really nice , colors fairly true to life & it looks almost see through on the end Crit...not sure if it's a low res image causing the effect of bluey colored shiny colored speckles , slightly too much light on the end area & slightly uneven light on the bg....all of which are easily solved with , I suspect ,use of a reflector
Elegant....novel way to drink the black stuff but I like your thinking . Don't know much about guinness but if it was cold that could explain the marks on the glass....does it pour the same if it's warm ?
Thanks again Paul great editing of my pic I may just start sending you my pictures before I post for you to make them look betterHi Simon, sorry to have taken so long to stop by - this work thing is a bit annoying, isn't it?
Scenic - that's actually a nice snowscape. I think the only thing to do is lift the exposure as the histogram is too far to the left. Maybe bring out a touch of shadow detail - I've had a very quick play in PS so hope you don't mind: http://i.imgur.com/xXaW4uh.jpg
Another "sorry for the late commenting" post here too...
Fragile is my favourite of your entries overall. It's simple, yet strong and conveys the theme really well. Attention to detail is clear and it's one of those versatile images that would sit well alongside copy in a magazine or blog with that long narrow crop.
Getting back on topic though, Watery is excellent. It struck me from the main images thread with your choice of composition and that vibrant red! A nice indistinct background too that doesn't detract with detail or colour. Well done!
Hi Simon Except for perhaps "the watery eye", your water melon has to be the best interpretation of the "watery" theme. Love the back-lighting and the hint of bokeh.
Elegant - Whilst I feel the guinness should be in the glass I do prefer #2. The lighting quality of the glass is far stronger and I feel the can being more oof than in #1 is also stronger as a result
Watery - Good subject to chose. The reflected light is a bit strong on the right hand side of the watermelon but you've definitely captured a watery feel and also some nice colours of the fruit.
Elegant - well, aren't you posh, Guinness in a crystal glass - great idea! Prefer the shot with the full glass, but not too sure about the soft reflection in the middle of the glass
Watery - yes, that melon looks mouth-wateringly juicy. Great composition - I like the way you've cropped it to show more detail.
relax - nice idea and lovely and sharp - nice BG too (what is it?)
All I will say is no they are NOT! my legs they belong to my very own wicked witch of the west (its ok she wont see this)
I noticed that when looking on tablet rather than pc . think I tried to make sky to blue when tweakingVertical; spot on theme and nice composition. Just a touch of halo appearing around the tower.
vertical - is this the TV mast in Yorkshire? Used to see it from the M1 all the time and wondered what it was (but I know now) - I was convinced it had a statue on it - but yes, foreground is a tad dark but otherwise looks good
Vertical - fits the theme, crit wise I feel the foreground could be a bit lighter. I am not to sure if a closer crop would work better or not.
You are not wrong to much tweaking to make the sky more blue and i did not see that till i looked on the tabletVertical - Like it. A perfect fit to the theme. My only crit is that there appears to be a slight halo around the tower.
