weekly Em's 52 for 2016 - Celebration added

Works for me, it's a poor theme to be fair so why not a shoehorn
 
Eeek, it's a shoehorn submission this week....apart from me ;)

Rather like the photograph.

I'd prefer a simpler submission with just the pier(?).

Cheers.
 
And there was me thinking it was a play on the word POST ;)
The pano effect works nicely and the blues are really strong. (y)
I know it was there, but I would have been tempted to try to clone out the track marks in the beach as they present a second leading line, but with no target.

Damn, thats some fine subtlety Em, good job.

I was wracking my brain looking for a Leonard Cohen connection.....

Nicely done.

Thanks Mark - I did think afterwards I could have used some Leonard Cohen sheet music - if I'd been at my parents' I'd have had a fair choice of record covers, too :) As for subtlety I think you're giving me too much credit (but then again subtlety is surely just a polite word for shoehorn?!) I was just thinking of the first line, although the first few lines do seem to have a slight echo of goings on in the USA - lots of humorous memes online posted by some very unhappy people.
 
Old news is still news, not sure on the composition but I like the idea behind it, I think the sheet music is a little to straight and cut off, if you see what I mean

No shoe horn required Emma, it works on a few levels, well thought out :thumbs:
 
Excellent submission Emma - clever thought out. Love the lighting (and the guitar). :clap:

Thanks Tim. I did consider the cloning, but quite liked how straight and clear they were, though I can see what you mean.

Nicely done Emma. I quite like the use of the dynamic lines leading you in from the top right to the sheet music.

Thanks Tim - I found the composition of this really tricky...give me nature any day!

I tried so many different compositions - for something so simple it was a nightmare! I almost went for the lines on the sheet music running in the same direction as the guitar strings, but that took the emphasis off the words and when I looked at this one I quite liked the contrast between the straight sheet and diagonal, curved guitar. I appreciate the feedback, though.

And another cracking shoehorn, really like the letterbox crop and the warm colours, I wish it was like that here today :)

Very nicely set up and lit Emma, spot on theme wise for me, and love the warm glow of the guitar (y)

Thanks Dean for the encouraging feedback - I found the guitar very tricky! It's William's new hobby and I have to say it's a very pretty guitar :)

Thanks Carl - William following in his musical sister's footsteps :) As for the lighting, I bought the tent that I saw you discussing in another thread (don't you love TP tips?!) primarily as I was going to try photographing some fused glass that a very talented friend makes. This was shot using two sides of the tent as the guitar was obviously too big, but I thought it worked out ok.
 
A very nice re-shoot Emma I can see that hanging on a wall :thumbs:
 
Was going to say the cheeky pier shot is nice compo but then saw the simpler compo with more pier detail in the creamy water .... and that's really nice. (y)

And yes a Leonard Cohen song would have been spot on.
 
The reshoot is very good, lovely muted tones and the black pier nicely placed across the horizon.:clap:
 
Reshoot is much neater and nicer looking for it I think Em.

Ooooo LOVE that Em, that particular image works well with that sky for me, anything much more dramatic would take away from the structure (y)

Thanks everyone - that's lovely feedback :)
 
I prefer the second long exposure shot of the pier. The longer the better...

Great composition for news, and great idea.
 
Hi Emma.
Blimey, 30 seconds at 08:44. I'm guessing you've got an ND filter.
Good job ensuring there is no colour cast. PLenty of detail in the shot. Works for the theme for me :)
 
Excellent Emma - lovely soft tones to the sea and sky. A calming feel to it.
 
Im liking the Pier Emma, very nice, I was only there this morning, but the structure seems to have repaired itself :-)

Thank you both - this was taken using my very cheap 10 stop. I'm glad the colour correction worked - it does give quite a strong blue cast.
