That's a good .. I prefer the second one, in the first the outside pictures seem to be shutting out the snowy picture.

I like the first one better, Scott.
Thank you I guess I'm 60/40 for the first
Cool idea for 'street'! I'm in the 'number one' camp though, to me it makes the symmetry a little bit more obvious
Chris
Thanks Chris
A great idea and it has come out really well. I much prefer no.1, though.
Another vote for No.1

Cheers

Cool idea, took me a while to figure what was niggling... it's the bay window one side and the house wall the other - messes up the front garden wall line! Very nice pic though and a neat slant on panoramic - never seen a tryptich pano before!

Love the street theme... for me it's the first one, i think the angles work better

Thank Arthur, I'm trying to do something new for me on each theme.

#2 for me I think. Innovative take on the theme and well processed
Thank you, the processing was a first so there was a little :bang:

Very clever, nicely executed and presented.

Nice take on the theme.
Number 2 for me but would have prefered all 3 with snow or all 3 without.
As ever, the number of different takes on the theme each week is staggering.

Hah - now I understand theon my thread
Good idea, nice tryptich (great minds and all that jazz!) - personally prefer the edit, leads you in to the middle more
Cheers Nick
Safe for me to come back now.
Number 1 for me, although when I first looked at it it messed with my head somewhat
I counldn't get the same view point for all snow from the living room window sill.
Thank you
Cheers

I really like your approach to the Street theme. Wouldn't have thought about doing something like that myself. Short days is the real curse of the photographer when you're stuck at work nine to five isn't it? I agree that it looks better left to right for some reason. Keep it up

Clever take on the theme.
I like the idea of number 2, but number 1 works better for me as a set of photos.
Jean
Thank you Jean
Thanks very much!
This is a really neat take, it works well. No 2 for me, the lines from both sides push my eye central
Cheers Mick see you at the lakes

One of two ideas that came off pretty good and not what most of you might have thought Still might add a second option same idea just a rearrangement of the books and to try and remove the flash hotspot.

No.1 for me too Scott.
Although no.2 might be a more logical composition, I really like the way the houses either side frame the centre shot in no.1.
If I was being picky, I'd prefer it if all 3 were taken on the same day or at least in the same conditions. It feels a little bit odd to me just having snow in the middle one :shrug:
Brilliant idea though and it goes to show that you don't actually have to venture very far for an interesting street image.
EDIT: and for some reason, your image for week 5 has only just popped up on my screen . . . NOT LOOKING . . . NOT LOOKING . . . NOT LOOKING

Scott, your speed image is fantastic, it reminds me of the cover flow screen on itunes (if that makes sense). That could easily be an advertisement for those books. Speed in more ways than one, yours must be the first/fastest post for this weeks theme. Well done, its very creative

I've just broken my one rule and looked before I've submitted.
This is great, sharp, well lit, nice reflections and a great take on the theme.

I wouldn't bother reshooting, I think the flash has added a great element to the picture. I was wondering how you'd done it at first. Looks great and works better than just a basic reflection!

Thank you Sarah, I think I will do a re-shoot later just want as little parked cars and wheelie bins as possible

Thank you, I think the best ideas come thick and fast and you have to act quickly.
great take on the theme scott.. used to quite err.. like barry sheene back in the day
nice crisp reflection and great lighting
He was a bit of a pin up back in the 70s/80s. I only watched him race one
I have no problem looking once I have my idea, no matter how good the other shots are I wouldn't change Thank you Jenny

Cheers, a little trial and error. Books sat on frosted glass dinning room table, ttl cord on flash/camera and remote shutter cord. Flash held from below table up against the glass(2 layers as its extendable). Now looking, agree on the hot spot adding to the overall shot.

Street: I much prefer the first of the two arrangements - it looks more 'natural' its a good concept well executed
Speed: Well lit and set up - needs a slight straighten (or my eyes do) a degree or so anti clockwise but its hardly noticeable - very nice!

Cheers, he doesn't look right without it
Very clever shot for Speed, although personally I would feather out the reflective books to black, rather than having the whole book reflected....but that's just me!
Thank you, may have a play when my PP skills improve.
I'm with others - don't go for a reshoot!
The light's just right and the composition's brilliant.
I love the colours too.
Foggy for PM!
No reshoot then.

Thank you, straighten tool suggests -0.47 ish...well spotted.
Cheers, his cover is mainly black which blended a little too much into the background.

Great effort for Speed!
And... Barry Sheen is dead is he? 2003 - I guess I don't keep up with current events much...
Anyway, As was said earlier, I also think this looks like the cover thingy on iTunes. I love the set up, I think the lighting is spot on, and the composition is excellent.
And it's a brilliant take on the theme.
Where's Keanu?
