That looks alien indeed. What is it? I like your composition with the densest part in the bottom right corner. Also well lit and very sharp.

I thought it was part of a plant, but I never would have guessed what it is. Fortunately flickr knows.
 
Certainly got Structure, lots of interest too. (y)

Animal, vegetable or mineral? I'd say veg but wouldn't make it one of my five a day.

I'm guessing it's a cactus leaf skeleton, no only joking.

:D

This does produce an edible fruit enjoyed in Spain. The higo chumbo but the little b****r is covered in vicious needles which hurt like hell if you 'forget' to wear gloves when picking them :eek:

ps not my pictures.

Yes, a very good abstract - something organic, roots of some sort I suppose? Excellent take Jill and like the result.

Thanks Carl. It's the internal skeleton of a cactus leaf.

Three years ago Spain suffered an epidemic of the cochineal beetle. They settle on the leaf and live on the juicy centre, laying eggs on the leaf and the larvae then feed on the leaf too. It has caused devastation of the higo chumbo crop.
 
Good shot, I also would have guessed something plant based but would not have got exactly what it was. Somehow reminds me of an overhead shot of a river/fields.
 
I'm crap at guessing so I'd just like to say great choice and great image too. (y)
 
Hi Jill,

Mineral - I wasn't expecting a lego shot from you ;) Great detail and a fun shot.
Whole - Very creative :)
Structure - Intriguing... It certainly has plenty of structure and you spend time looking at it. Plant life of some kind definitely.

Thanks Steve. i suppose that's the beauty of abstracts, they can be whatever you want them to be.

Looks like an alien :)

Like it, I was after something similar but it didn't happen.

Nice detail and the greens work for me.

Cheers.

Hi Tim, where've you been?

Glad you like them.

What can I say about the lego shot, I let my inner child borrow the camera :p

And it's the internal skeleton of a cactus leaf

It's been a busy couple of weeks, starting off with working 28 hours straight a couple of weekends ago (which takes time to recover from) and then 3 days at our Steam Gala last weekend which nicks a load of your time.
So I'm trying to catch up on comments 10 threads a day...
 
Two very nice mono conversions, I'd go with #1 for the theme but #2 is a very good photo. You are rubbing it in with the sunglasses though :p
 
Hard to choose Jill.
#2 is a really nice portrait, works well in mono and is spot on for the theme.
#1 has lots of different points of interest in the shot.

They are both so different, that choosing between them isn't really possible.
 
Both work well for the theme, I agree that choosing between them is difficult as they are both so different
 
Hi Jill

Really liking your Structure shot, even though I have no idea what the hell it is! Great detail and love the lighting and textures too.

I like both for Routine, for different reasons as above but will say I prefer the second. Really like the second one though; the expression and conversion itself is really nice. Well done.

Thanks

Ian

Two great shots Jill, like the 1st as you have got the lady looking at you while the worker does her clean up Routine. My choice though is #2, what a great shot, lovely in mono and Mr B looks great in thee pose :plus1::plus1:

Ooh, thanks for those kind words Dave (y)

Hi Ian, thanks for dropping in and thanks for those kind words. I appreciate it (y)
 
Both Routine shots are great, but I prefer the second one, less cluttered, simpler, cleaner. I feel slightly hypocritical after posting a 'busy' Routine shot myself.
 
Top portrait of top bloke (y)

The cafe scene is good as I do like street but, I don't know, too much detail, harsh light, awkward shadow, and that woman.:facepalm:

I like both Routine shots but love Mr. B pose and his cool, calm and collective look.
