Even if it wasn't on theme, which it certainly is, not to mention being a rather good take on it, that would be a stunning shot. Not much more I can say really. :)

A feeding frenzy depicts greed perfectly to me. As you say, a shame about the headless one, but I think you did very well getting the shot you did. :thumbs:

An early entry this time. :D My original submission was going to be a petrol forecourt, with the pumps blurred out and the (very high) pricing on the billboard sharp. Try as I might, I could only get a partial price on the digital billboard to display on my picture, so very frustrated, I gave...

Value: Every time someone posts something, it seems really simple and obvious in retrospect, so why on earth couldn't I think of it? :bang: A good, original take on the theme with nice DOF and the colours standing out (was the use of hearts deliberate for the colour? If so, good thinking)...

Hello Graham, thanks for the comments. Cloning out the bin is a bit advanced for me I'm afraid, but perhaps this alternate crop would do as well? Week 14 - alt by alltaken2012, on Flickr

Week 11 - Wow, I've no idea how you did that but the result looks amazing. Electric was a difficult theme to think of anything exciting for it, but this does it in spades. Week 12 - Really nice idea, and definitely on theme. As a minor niggle, or personal preference really, is that the...

Week 14 - Tacky Excellent idea for the theme, I like the composition and leaving a bit of table showing compliments the picture as a whole. :thumbs:

I've had a lot of trouble thinking of something for this week's entry, but it has, if anything, taught me the value of taking a few different lenses with me wherever I go. I would have liked to blur our the building in the background, but it wasn't possible with the lens I had with me, so I've...

Thanks once again for the advice, well most of it anyway :D Seems like I need to get my little bird book out...

Thanks once again for the comments and critique guys. The lighting issue is because there wasn't any. I've made myself a rudimentary lightbox, but still hadn't got any lighting for it at the time the picture was taken. I've bought some basic lamps now, and got some daylight bulbs, so...

This one made me smile when I saw it. Nice composition and nice detail on that first tack. :thumbs:

Huzzah! A fellow member of the some cuddly toys are tacky brigade. :D Well on theme, and I like (dunno if it was intentional), how your reflection fills the gap on the top shelf. :thumbs:

Tacky - brilliant picture, bang on theme and the border compliments it nicely. :)
