Took me forever to work this out and only clicked when I read the other comments.

Lovely colours and definitely nice and simple. Just enough to let you know what it is too as with a slight crop from the lower left corner, I doubt I'd ever have guessed! :)

Thanks for looking in Ian ... it is a bit confusing isn't it :)

Thanks Allan ...I like being quirky sometimes o_O

very clever, a first glance I thought ot was a close up of some painted wood. Only clicked when I saw the comments above. Nicely done.

Thanks Steve ...I just wanted to do something a bit different.
 
Stone - I'm going to go against the general grain and agree with Emma & DK, the 5 stone stack is my preference. It's 'something a bit different' and I think it works well with the soft background.

Simple - That's a lovely colour. Vertical shots often need scrolling on my laptop, so at first I didn't know what the shot was of, though it became obvious as I scrolled down. The reveal actually made it more interesting for me :)
 
.. you been hang gliding again dear? o_O

Clever stuff, cool entry. (y)

Thanks Tim ....I didn't intend to turn it, I was just messing about and thought 'I like that.' The sea was an amazing colour that day.o_O

Hand gliding ... moi :eek: we actually weren't that high up above the beach, the waves were just catching the light in a rather strange way!

pjm1 said:
Hi Susie - the waves are a moment of genius! Really well thought out and well captured. Processing and finishing off all add a little bit of gloss and it ends up being a properly super image :clap: Brill!

Thank you for that Paul ....very much appreciated :)
 
I think I've stretched the limits of my cameras capability and my own in this one, these fungi are very small, the mushroom part at the top isn't that much bigger than a full stop, probably about 1mm, the blue head of the pin is just about 2mm. I spotted them growing underneath a carnivorous fly eating plant that belongs to my grandson and I think they're fascinating, they are so tiny but so perfect. Taken with my 45-250 lens with a Raynox 150 attached.

SIze reshoot.

Size TP 2016 (reshoot) Smaller than a pinhead by Susiejb, on Flickr
 
That is a beautiful image Susie. I like the mid-shot focus and the vibrant colours. Lovely macro. :clap:
 
Have you lost a leg Susie ? That slanty thing seems to be here to stay o_O
Otherwise a nice picture for the reshoot

Thank you Carl ...it was on of those frustrating shots that I spent absolutely ages on but I just couldn't get any better focus. They are so tiny they are almost translucent which didn't help, so I'm really pleased you think it's okay and you like it :)

No ....just checked I still have two :D ....my excuse is that hubby has nurtured the plant all winter and I was given strict instructions not to disturb it, so I had to squash in at a funny angle. Thank you for looking in.

Stone - First one for me Susie - the colours are stunning.
Simple - The diagonal lines and the colours make this a brilliant shot.
Reshoot - Beautiful image:clap:
 
I prefer the stacked stones for your Stone shot as there is too much clutter in the beachside one and I find the seagulls distracting and would have been tempted to clone them out. But I love the colour of stack against the same colour oof background.

Simple is simply outsatnding :clap::clap::clap:

Reshoot of Size is way beyound my capabilities and you've managed to get an amazing amount of light into it.
 
Very nice Macro for your re shoot of size Susie lovely details and colours

Love it. :clap:

You done exceptionally well giving the equipment limitations. Spot on focus, soft bokeh, lighting and the added colour blue just make it a fantastic image. :clap::clap::clap:

Thank you very much everyone for those lovely encouraging comments ....very much appreciated.
 
Nice reshoot for Size, Susie. It's a good image and well captured. Only comment would be there's quite a bit in frame which isn't adding as much to the overall image for me. The OOF area could perhaps be a smaller or less instrusive component? I'd like to see more of the 'rooms :) A great technical capture though.

Sign - that's nicely taken, well lit and smartly processed. Really effective image with the shadow definitely making it more interesting again.
 
wholesome meal, but are we getting enough greens? ... I recommend a la butter garlic escargot stirfry.

Nice presentation, interesting shadows but seems to be lacking the interesting detail.

Love the presentation for sign Susie nice lighting and great composition some lovely detail
 
Interesting interpretation Susie, well thought out and presented :)
 
Brilliant concept Susie :clap: and nicely composed on that plain white bg.
 
Great reshoot for size, really like that you included the pin for scale.

Sign - good idea very well executed, I can see that hung on a wall.
 
Hi Susie,

Size (reshoot) - Stunning shot, and amazing magnification and quality. I like that, it looks like a completely different world.
Sign - Good idea for the theme and very well executed :)

Thanks Paul ...it was one of those difficult ones, because the mushroom was so tiny, there isn't much definition it so a closer crop might have not looked right o_O

Thanks Tim ...I agree ...you wouldn't even notice those tiny mushrooms without the benefit of macro....a fascinating tiny world.

That is great, love the light and that the flower is perfectly placed against the dark water
 
That is excellent Susie - as already commented, the lighting is just beautiful. :clap:
 
I do like Water Lily's Susie, and that is very nicely presented, well captured too :)
