weekly alsjazzera TP52 2014 WEEK 52 SUPPORT added

Close - Cheetah: You've done well to get this shot through glass. I know this is outside of your control, but I would have liked to see the cheetah facing the camera a bit more. Looking at your photostream, I actually prefer the other two shots you've uploaded. Fungus: I think the shapes are interesting in an abstract way, but my pick would be the cheetah.

Bubble - I like the colour. Not sure how you shot this, but there's some slightly distracting elements in the background (behind the glass?).

Looks good to me - luckily it inspired me a bit more this week - lots of nice golden bubbles

Really eye catching and loving the goldenness (because that's a word).

Oil in Water? Would Love to know how it was done.

I see what you mean, but I have no enthusiasm for it
 
Good colour Allan, light looks well around the bubbles (y)

Apart from the fact I know its oil on water, I'm another one that's not sure how you get this affect :thinking:

The lines in the background/underneath? are a little distracting though :)

There is no oil involved its just condensation on the inside of a plastic bottle

That explains why I thought I could see a door in the bg!
 
I like the highlights and overall effect but the main colour puts me off. More my problem than yours I think!
 
On theme and I do like the colour. Plenty of detail as well.

I agree with you about not feeling inspired by this theme. I guess there will be more but that's part of the challenge :thumbs:

Cheers.
 
Interesting, colourful, bubbles a'plenty of all sizes.... that'll do for me. :thumbs:
 
Nice tones and lighting Allan, one small crit would be I think id have a little more DOF so all the bubbles are sharp as there are a few it the bottom of the frame that are off. good job. (y)

Difficult to get more D0F with a macro lens on the sloping neck of a bottle

Hi Allan, don't you just hate it when some themes don't inspire you. I like this though, great detail and colour. I especially like the bottom half with the lines through, I'd be tempted to crop most of the top off!

I am tempted to bin it

PAULSHAZ said:
Very much like the idea and the colours

Thanks
 
For a 'post and be damned' kinda image Allan, it works well (n)
I like the warm colour tones and the simple composition.
 
Hi Allan

another vote here for the lovely colors & sharpness in the centre bubbles....would never have guessed they were on the inside a bottle....well spotted & shot for an un-insipred week.....:)
 
Hi Allan, don't be on hard on yourself - I like the colours and thats there are plenty of bubbles! Some weeks are hard to inspired by but thats part of the challenge - I've struggled more since I've rejoined this year, but I'm lucky to have Peter to keep pushing me!:)
 
WEEK 5 SMOKE

IMAGE REMOVED I dislike it myself and its a cheat as in not taken this week, will get something else :whistle:

I took the pictures of the smoke late December but PP'd it today. was not going to take more pics when I had them,
again not greatly inspired by the subject :sorry:

Just my personal preference, but I'm not a lover of the repetitive pattern Allan. Saying that, I can appreciate the pp skills you must have to do it :), its something I couldn't do.
 
I like the colours and the symetry - it's very hard to think of something that not everyone will do :LOL:
 
Hi Allan



Grrrr....there's me not even able to get one decent smoke image & you post up that little masterpiece :clap:

yet again I can't crit other than to say I think I'd have gone for punchier colors...though I doubt I'll get the chance as struggle to get the image to start with :banghead:
 
Nice work Allan... I think the repetitiveness of the image is overbearing though... maybe just the single mirror image would have worked for me but I suppose its down to personal pref... hope you dont mind the crit...
 
Smoke - I like the pattern you've created here (needs to be viewed large to be fully appreciated IMO) and the colours.

I hear you on the lack of inspiration for the theme - after Bubble I was hoping for something more open to interpretation and then we got landed with Smoke...
 
Sorry if you come to this and are slightly confused there was a picture but I disliked it from the start, was just being lazy really.
the last couple of themes have been :meh: :indifferent:
