Very nicely composed - good shot
Hiya d00d glad you like my old Ted ...he might be worth a fortune one day !
60 years...you don't look a day over 50
Wonderful textures, rich colours and I like the border. The inclusion of the My Red is a nice touch. Yeah, just the slight issue of the shadows on Ted's right leg.
Good show.
Cheers.
Hi Susie
Love Ted...he looks well travelled , like the lighting , the bg & delicate frame The shadow on the leg doesn't bother me but the angle of his head does........for me it would sit easier if he was looking to the right or if there was slightly more room on the left of the frame for him to look in to ?
Hi Susie, perfect subject for "companion" the picture I am not going to offer crit on as it says what it needs to
I brought this book for Janes birthday last year, it's very touching to read the little stories that go with each picture.
i used her bear Scruffy last year in the 52 although for the like of me I can't remember what for
There could be no better companion I'm sure
Companions - a super picture of Ted I love it well presented, nice detail lovely colour and nice use of the frame around him.
Companions, I agree Susie,
a well worn teddy fits the theme very well,
nice lighting too
I had one of those teddy's when I was a kid, I loved it to bits even though it looked very much like yours; made me quite nostalgic; good job.
Awwe bless... thats a lovely shot Susie !!!
I'm liking the dark background and the detail of the fur/bears worn body, the colour of the text and border round it off nicely too
Lovely shot with great lighting and love the colours
Funnily enough, I picked out a couple of lilies for this weeks theme, in the end I decided to go with Roses though.
Anyway, nicely done although the exposure could do with lifting a touch as the stamen are underexposed
I also like the "keep it simple" motto. The image does work but I would have preferred to see greater depth of field. Too much of the flower is out of focus and I think that it detracts from the end result. I do like the colour and I think that it is made to look even better by the blacked out background. Onwards!
I will go and have a look. Experimentation is fun .. as long as you have the time and patience!Thanks David I used a macro lens hence the shallow depth of field. I've spent quite a bit of time this week trying different ideas and decided to stop messing and go for this one. A couple of my other ideas are on my Flickr.

Lily fits the elegant theme to me. having studied the flower for a few minutes I too think I'd like to see more of the flower/ stamen in focus. Still a lovely image the black background suits it well
Another simple but effective image Susie
Though I would agree with @ChrisHeathcote
Maybe up the exposure a tad ?
Looked at Flickr and really like the group of snowdrops. Save it because I am sure that there will be a theme which it will fitSorry I though it was on my photo it's https://www.flickr.com/photos/susiejb2/
A nice simple idea for elegant. I personally would like to see a tighter crop with more even lighting.
Hey Susie! Not been around much so a little catchup is needed [emoji6]
Companions: such a warm, lovely capture. Lit beautifully and the frame really sets it off.
Elegant: another beautiful shot. I like the softer edges to the petals on the outer portions of the lily although I think maybe it could do with a little more light hitting the stamen top. Definitely elegant!
Nice one susie ... just looking at it on my laptop, it looks best when viewed from some odd angles. I like the pale green/yellow growth down in the centre where the light is.
Definitely elegant but I'd like a little more in focus and a slight lift in exposure on the stamens. Fab, crisp background shows it to full advantage
Elegant, lovely flower and I like the space you've left. Bit more lightning in parts, maybe.
Cheers.
Beautiful image, and excellent choice of bloom
