Hi Emma ...it's always a pleasure to hop into your thread, it's never disappointing.
Love the shiny DM's for Clean., perfect composition, dof, everything spot on.
Reall interesting choice for Curve, I was mystified till I read the explanation, fabulous bokeh.
Occupation, a thoughtful choice I like it, having survived the summer hols with the grandkids you have my admiration:)

Nice colours, good DoF leading the eye to the pencil. Is that a hint of the sparkly dress again?

Cheers Chris - a sparkly scarf this time, but as the silver threads are finer it can be hard to get the bokeh even. Lots of rain here has put me in the mood for glitzy bokeh :)

Very apt and very topical too with the schools going back (two weeks ago here in Scotland. Love the colours and again the simplicity and minimalistic of the shot. Nice focus and nice dof too. :clap:

Gotta love a bit of smooth bokeh :) It's the Sigma 105 2.8 Mark.

Pencil on a notebook .... beautifully simple. (y)
 
A bit late...life has gone crazy again, but I thought this one might just fit the bill. My husband and stepson presenting me with the delicious cake my (non-baking) daughter had made for my birthday. Family life. Thank goodness for it :)

What a super warm and fun shot for 'You', Emma (and my goodness, you can tell they're related!). It's a lovely natural shot and well lit :thumbs:

So sorry again for the loss of your Mum. I'm sure your family are supporting you and you're helping eachother through this awful time.
 
Hi Emma,

Really sorry to hear your bad news.

Occupation - Nice image, the shallow DoF and subtle boken really make it.
You - Made me smile and I hope it helps you to smile a bit too. Great expressions and you've frozen the moment, even though there can't have been much light. (y)
 
You
