Fragile is certainly on theme. Shame about the cropping of the very top of the apex.

I understood the theme fairly well before I read your thoughts behind it. I didn't pin the feelings to rape, but got the emotion strongly. Now I've read your thoughts too I can't help but imagine that the shadow showing behind her in the top right hand corner is the shadow of her attacker...

Very powerful. For me the far right embodies the theme perfectly.

Week 2 - Fragile <- LINK Week 3 - Fragile by alxndr1805

Week 2 - Fragile Takes a bit of shoehorning to get this to fit the subject, but I was thinking along the lines of the fragility of life, and how little there is protecting that vital liquid from escaping our bodies. Week 3 - Fragile by alxndr1805, on Flickr I'd have preferred the thumb to be...

I definitely agree with that! It was a nasty one to be thrown right at the beginning! Thank you :) Cheers :) Being hard on myself is certainly one of my downfalls. I never want to do anything which isn't individual if I can help it, which sometimes works in my favour, and sometimes...

Very clever with the fragile photograph, a bit more unusual than the standard cracked egg. I love the composition too. I wonder if the outline of the claw part of the hammer could have been a bit clearer, it tends to meld into the background for me and plays tricks with my eyes.

Definitely well within the theme for me. I first thought of how crumbly and delicate the very end of a match is, and then how it's just about to snuff it into nothing. Very deep and a well composed photograph in my eyes!

wk1—BLISS Week 1 - Bliss by alxndr1805

Thanks everyone who commented. I'm afraid I'm not feeling fantastic, so I've not been able to do as much commenting as I'd have liked on everyone elses—apologies—and this week's one is late. Bliss wasn't really an emotion I was feeling! I didn't think I'd turn anything in at all, despite...

I'm finding the shine of the bottle distracting in comparison to the bra, there's not anything quite as bright as the really shiny bits of the bottle on that side. Other than that I think it's a great photograph and bang on theme. I'm finding the inclusion of the SOOC shots helpful as well.

Pattern - Wow, very nice. The lighting and contrast is very good. Bliss - I like the mono in this as well. I too am not sure about the foreground, I think it might be less distracting if it had been taken from a few inches higher, but I'm not sure. I'ts not a major issue at all though.

Thanks all. It was the top of my electric heater. It kept calling to me as soon as I saw the word "pattern"!

I prefer the first out of these two personally. The design on the wrapping paper is too clear to me in the second and vies for my attention with the bubbles. A good start to the year though.

I'm another vote for the first image. I keep going back to look at it, funny how there's all these little patterns everywhere and we rarely notice them. I do the second one though, my brain just seems to trick me into seeing camouflage and it all melts away into one.
