weekly Delta Skies 2012 52 Week Challenge - Week 52 "Busy" added

[Delta Skies]

I didn't know they did a Yorkshire edition, that might be an idea for Christmas this year!!

Lovely colours, nice and sharp and I like the angle you shot it at

Thanks for the kind comments Marsha

A great idea and well taken. Good shot.

Cheers Phil

Hi Peter...

I have lead such a sheltered life....never knew waddingtons produced any versions other than the original...which now I've seen your shot I've realised I have one in my loft :bang:

SO...top marks for the idea , nicely laid out & well shot

Definitely a sheltered Life. You can even get one called Ownopoly where you can can make all the names of the streets up yourself and print them

Hi, Peter, just right for me.

It's quite sharp and most of all, it looks like it's being played as opposed to staged.

Cheers.

Thanks the the feedback Andy

Well here we are already in week 10. After a few ideas for this one came and went - cards, lottery tickets, etc. In the end I went for a winner in a duck race.

Another good idea, I'm stumped this week. Great point of focus, good job

Hi Peter,

I think win is excellent. Lovely DOF and POV. The eyes and lips of the ducks really stand out

 

[Southdowns]

Brilliant! I love that; great composition and colours/tone, and great interpretation too.

Poor little sod at the back though!!!!

 

[*Sarah*]

Well taken Peter in poor lighting conditions! I like your use of DOF and how you captured the reflection in the water!

I do wonder what our neighbours think though - you taking pics of rubber ducks in our pond whilst I'm inside taking pics of a snail race!!

Let them think what they want Those ducks were better behaved than your snails :bonk:

Brilliant photo for WIN, works really well, it is well taken and a happy photo to boot.

 

[Nathalie]

Win - Great idea and good composition + DOF. One of my favourites for the theme.

 

[superpippo]

Hi peter

Win - well composed and good differential focus. good use of colour with the water area muted in autumn shades. Well set up. And they all look so happy !!

Thanks Alan. Yeah they were so happy to be in the water I couldn't wipe the smile of their faces

Well this is a first for me - publishing on theme day.

When I saw the theme this morning and the sun was out I thought about these shiny balls at Clarence Dock in Leeds. The one I wanted to take had some orange barrier netting next to it so I went for the other one instead as the sun was lighting up the building opposite.

Fab - I love these balls, I took some in Sheffield a while back. Looks a lovely blue sky too! Mandy

 

[superpippo]

Hi Peter

well done on being so fast off the mark and lucky with the sun

Excellent shot for the shiny part but the building and tree behind seem to affect the balance of the shot. If only those clerestory windows and green parapet were not there. But of course nothing you can do about that. Good clean, clear image

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Excellent and very fitting.

 

[The goblin]

Well done Peter for an excellent shiny shot,I think you've caught it nicely.

I'd say the sky top left could do with a little straightening but otherwise I think it's spot on

 

[ChickenDipa]

Great shot nice to nail it on day 1 and now you can sit back and relax!!

Bang on theme

 

[kirkers1978]

[Manc Man]

Great shot Peter, bang on theme for sure.

Thanks amanda. Yeah blue sky and the odd fluffy cloud. What more could I ask for.

Thanks for the comments Alan. I agree the background isn't what I'd have chosen but beggars can't be chosers.

Excellent and very fitting.

Thanks Alby

Thanks Marsha. Sometimes the obvious just gets missed. I'll have to straighten the original later.

Bang on theme

Thanks Alex. I don't know what I'm going to do with all that time now

Thanks Summer

It's funny I even threatened to take a cloth with me for these.

 

[sturisoma]

ooo just noticed I said the same thing as DK lol I should read other comments 1st I guess

 

[LauraJ23]

very nice pic for shiny Peter. A great subject.

 

[Marshall194]

A top shot and bang on theme delta well done

 

[Southdowns]

Very nice! I ALWAYS get myself in the shot when I try anything like this, so you've done well!

 

[Blank_Canvas]

Hi Peter,

Apologies, I have no idea where the time goes...

'Win' - Nice capture, duck races are a big thing in Derbyshire and and everyone is known affectionately as 'me duck' so I can identify with that nice colours too....

'Shiny' - again nice image and reflections in the sphere and nice to see that you didn't include yourself

Nice work

 

[PINNACLE]

Super shiny shot and you are not in it like it a lot.

I can't think of where there is anything like that near me or I would get and try one.This weeks theme seems to be producing some very good and different photos.

 

[fazer]

Hi Peter, forever catching up!
Your take on money bang on theme but don't the scot's beat you on financial issues? Not my view from a couple of trips up norf lol

Ah the ducks, brilliant for win and good DOF. Bath water looks a bit murky though

Shiny is a great idea and like the reflection, well thought out and executed.
Keep up the good work

 

[Treehugger81]

Great work on shiny, maybe a shallower depth of field would have sorted out the distracting background

 

[lizzy23]

Like the win shot, i really think you have too much time on your hands in the Bindon household but well taken

Shiny bang on theme like it a lot

 

[Delta Skies]

ooo just noticed I said the same thing as DK lol I should read other comments 1st I guess

It's easy enough done when there's so many comments on all these threads

very nice pic for shiny Peter. A great subject.

Thanks Michael

The reflection on the ball is stunning
