Good b&w Ian - excellent compo with the cracked leather in the bg giving context to the presence of the Balsam.
Works for me! The DOF is just right, focussing attention on the text but leaving enough of the background identifiable, and the B&W looks good too. Could be an advert.
I'm with Nick on this one, he summed it up perfectly, it works well Ian, I'm liking it in black and white too

I like how you've put this one together Ian, a unique choice for the theme too ... it works really well.
Agree with the others. Well thought out, executed and converted to b/w
Hey Ian, just crept in on time. Like the prop. Danbo is lit well (he looks kinda in awe at the size of the salt) and I do like the warmth of the lighting generally.
I really like you photo for smooth, great composition, great DoF and great B&W conversion!
Not so sure about mineral, I don't think the wallpaper adds anything to the photo.
Smooth - works for me, and the black and white looks good as well.
Mineral - nice idea for the theme, but I am not a fan of the wallpaper in the background.
That's a cool idea for mineral Ian, good to see something included with the subject, liking the colour and the given scale of the mineral
I like the thinking behind smooth and nicely arranged - I'd agree the comment on the bg in mineral, but Danbo adds a nice touch of humour and I like the warm light across the wood.
Haven't seen one of those guys for some time, always used to see one or 2 pop up in the 52's. He looks like he can be a valuable asset for future themes.
Hi Ian
Smooth is a pleasing image but not sure B&W is such a good idea.
I like the cardboard man, don't know what you call them, looking concerned about that salt mountain.
Hey there Ian,
Smooth - I've not anything to really add to the other comments other than nailed it.
Mineral - No issue with the wallpaper from me, it helps provide proportion. Without it, it would be hard to begin to understand the size, Danbo could be 3' tall otherwise, and not (perhaps) 3".
..., here is what I captured for Whole, Structure and Routine.
Ian
Whole fish is a good clear shot, like it. Structure #1 I love this one, looks really dark, moody as if it came out of a horror film, great shot again as totally love it
whole - nice lighting, especially how it fades to darkness towards the top of the photo. i also like the little man, he's cool
whole - freaks me out a little bit. i like fish but i wouldn't want to eat this one. that aside, it's a good photo . i had to google john dory, what a strange name for a fish!
structure - # 1 definitely the winner for me, sky's a killer and the folks walking up the steps add great story and atmosphere for me. love the wide angle (wish i had a proper wide angle lens!). also lovely shadows. one of my faves so far in this evening's commentamarathon
Whole - Reaches for the grill pan, looks good enough to eat jpeg or no.
Structure - Verticals do converge! It is only your brain that fools you into ignoring the evidence your eyes send you. Most times I'd rather see the top than worry about convergence, leave that for shots for architects.
Routine - Good shot of the organist for theme but love the shot of the full organ. My father was an organist and spent many happy hours with him looking and listning to great organs.
The structure shot is a favourite of mine, though I do wonder if I pushed the processing a tad too far. Glad you like it though
Love the fish, Love the external shot, Love the massive organ shot last. The Routine image (#3) has a really nice range of textures to it. Great contrast also adds a lot of mood and grandure to it. Whats the big black obstruction at the top centre of the image over the lights?
Hey Ian,
Whole - Certainly works for the theme. I'm glad you avoided any temptation to go B&W with it. What does "John Dory" mean?
Structure - I like the image. I like the low angle and processing, though it's a shame that the top of the towers got cut off (during the processing perhaps?)
Routine - The first one, it has a voyeuristic look to it, sort of spying on his routine, clever
Of the three, Routine 1 is my favourite.
