Good shot there Nigel. Nicely devoid of reflections Polarising filter?
Really nicely done - I love that vibrant red.
A really nice image Nigel - striking colour against that plain white bg.
Love your Personal shot Nigel really nicely composed, you're making me feel hungry
Hope lots of digging continued for Effort ....I like the close up, but would maybe have liked to see a bit of turned earth.
Both good concepts for the themes Nigel and both using DoF effectively. Like the POV of Effort, nice and sharp where it matters.
Personal is a cracker - looks like it could be in a magazine Depth of field and glasses lens just working well together there.
Effort is nicely put together - that rare instance when cropping someone's feet is precisely the right thing to do! I wonder if slightly less central composition would work as well?
Artificial - great shot I like the shapes the red has made.
Personal - I like the use of the glasses great idea
Effort - I agree it would be nice to see the soil being lifted but good pov
Personal - Really like it the use of the glasses is brilliant love the composition and the DOF really works
Effort - I like the POV but agree maybe better if there was some disturbed soil
