Nice capture great DOF and very good take on the theme.
Great image Susie!
I have a fondness for these types of images too....I must have about 200-300 shots of bulrushes and assorted thistles taken in my local RSPB reserve.
Yours is superbly sharp with great detail and expert use of DoF.
Lovely, smooth background completes a terrific image!
Excellent!
Shoe-horn? Seems on theme to me Susie.
Lovely use of DoF to include some colour in the background but making it completely non distracting and allowing the seed-heads to pop from the image.
I agree with Tim, it's not really a shoe-horn given your explanation. It's a lovely study of the seed heads though, with sharp close-up details and those lovely muted colours in the OOF background.
I sympathise as we've had gales here since Friday and no chance to go out and get what I wanted. Fingers crossed it blows itself out soon!
I really like this image, the DOF is fantastic.
Really interesting shot. Nice perspective and good use of DoF. There's so much detail, you can really spend a few minutes just looking at the texture and shapes of the sticky out bits (whatever their real names are!). Awesome stuff
Nice capture great DOF and very good take on the theme.
Open - colours look fine to me very tasty shot.
Distant - lovely image, I like the oof colours and the sharp detail
I'm loving the image Susie, no way is it a shoe horn. Think we are all waiting patiently for the warmer weather and remembering the lovely summer we had last year. Background colours are gorgeous. and the thistles are well sharp. Fantastic image.
Thank you Bob very much appreciated.Very nice shot. Well-positioned in the frame. Looks great!
Thanks Dave, I spotted it outside the bedroom window and really liked it.Having a look at cold on your Flickr the shot looks a lot better, great Dof and good red colour to go with the white of the snow.
Thanks Allan, just in the right place at the right time.Love the vibrant red coming through that ice
Thank you, our snow has all gone now!Very nice, great colour and DOF, hopefully there is still a little of the white stuff here tomorrow so I can shoot something.
Thank you for looking in Mandy, much appreciated.Oooohhhh the red of the berry really pops and makes the image. Love the bokeh which makes it even more cold looking.
Thank you very much Gareth.Amazing shot Susie!
Lovely, sharp and perfect for the theme.
The colour works well too.
Nice work.
Thank you.Great shot. colour works well.
It hardly lasted a day! thanks Chris.Nicely framed Susie, I bet it wasnt long before the snow melted away ! The red berry against the background works well.
I think the sea air tends to melt it, but very exciting when its here Andrea, glad you like the photo.Lovely work, Susie! The crisp textures of the snow, the bold red berry and the OOF background combine for a striking image. Like you, we don't get much snow near the sea (I'm heading off to the mountain now to see if there's any left up there!) so you've made the most of this opportunity. It's worth clicking through to Flickr as it does look even better on there.
Thank you, much appreciatedIt almost looks like a little red robin with his head stuck in the snow! It is lovely. Well done.
Yes I just happened to spot it outside the window Tim ...very handyNicely done Susie.
Finding the red berry really made the shot.
Thanks Ian , I appreciate your comments.Nicely done - good bit of colour to the image plus nice bokeh. Good entry
Thank you very much for looking in.Nice shot, love the colour popping and the dof .
Thank you Stan.A lovely simple shot. Like the composition with that spot of red dead on centre.
I find it a pain as everything looks different between my computer, my ipad and my phone! hopefully its okay, thank you for looking in Jon.Lovely, I like how the berry is isolated against the background. The shot fits the theme perfectly. It looks a tad dark to me, though that could be the screen on my tablet. Nice work.
I'll just echo all of the above. What appeals to me is the single bold colour against the freshness of the ice. It's stark and strong, which emphasis the emotion (or in this case the sensation)
Cold
Very nice, I think you could add a little more exposure and maybe add a bit of saturation on the berry.
Hi Susie,
Spot on shot for Cold. The bright red and cold ice on top really works
Hope you get it all sorted soon Susie, a good take and shot for waiting, if you post the box to me I can tell you how yummy they were.
Dechox what a crazy idea though I do like the idea of you torturing yourself by taking the picture.
Eat them, go on you know you want to
Very creative take on the theme Susie, and a well executed image too.
Be strong....you can do it....and don't forget, cake contains no chocolate....unless it's chocolate cake!
Hope they don't do a 'decake' thing....I like cake!!
I'm a bit worried about BT too....they're switching me over to superfast at the weekend.
Though I'll probably be plunged into the dark ages knowing them!
I wonder if the internet will work with the string and tin can method!
Very original idea. Nice and sharp. And the missing choc top right? Hmmmm!!
