Cold

Hi Ian, just having a bit of a catch-up...

New - great idea and well timed. DOF and background have been covered.
Clean - the car shot is definitely my favourite, an interesting composition with detail and movement.
Open - great find, the subject contains lots to look at. Ideal world would have included either all or none of the pig, but these things are usually dictated by where you can stand.
Distant - really cool shot. The suggestion to go mono makes it really atmospheric but I like the vivid green in the original, it's warm and fresh, if that's not a contradiction.

Loving the letter box crop for cold Ian, it really draws the viewer right in and good to have the cold icy moss clump in shot.

 

[karate-ka]

I saw this in a local charity shop, fits right in with the cold theme.

 

[BobBCN]

Yes, the crop is right for the image and it captures COLD perfectly.

 

[GarethB]

Love the wide crop - works really well for this image.
And what an image!!
Great colours and the detail on the frost is terrific....DoF is spot on!
Very nice work Ian!

 

[susiejb]

I agree, the composition is just right, definitely suits the theme perfectly.

Cold
Very simple (not in a bad way), with a good crop. For me it's a little under exposed.

Thanks Dominic, I did try brightening it but it lost the blueness.

Ian, the crop suits the composition. Bang on the theme

 

[IanD]

Nicely done. Good detail on the rock (I think it is). I like it.

And as for the ice luge, we had one of those for my sis-in-law's 50th birthday a few years ago and spent 8 hours tipping vodka down it. If I said it didn't end well, that would be a huge underestimation

Open - very interesting shop with lots to see
Distant - I like the colour version
cold - I like that, the colours are good, and the crop really suits it

Really liking your shot for Cold. Well composed and shot. Has a very cold feel about it so hits the theme perfectly.

 

[Manxmaid]

That's very effective, Ian, and well composed and cropped. The textures and colours convey extreme cold and I really like the frost on the mossy clump.

 

[LC2]

Chuckle, well I prefer the second shot, for the fact it is cheeky, and not a landscape.
It wouldn't win any camera club comps, but it is a fun capture.

 

[karate-ka]

Not sure how long she had been waiting.

 

[BobBCN]

Great capture. More like having a nap, and why not if you have to wait!

 

[GarethB]

Excellent candid image Ian.
The colours are so rich, nicely processed.
Aww bless....she looks shattered....hopefully she didn't have to wait for long!
Nice work Ian, perfect for the theme!

 

[Carl Hall]

Nice work Ian, she looks like she's having a good rest!

 

[Leebert]

Well seen and well captured. She looks like she has been waiting a while!

 

[chrispp]

She’s definitely having a nap for sure ! Nice capture !

 

[DomRim]

Good capture and good take on the theme!

 

[Nostromo]

Not sure how long she had been waiting.

Quite a long time I would guess, she seems to have fallen asleep.

 

[LC2]

Works for the theme.
There is quite a lot going on in the background of the shot. Was there any opportunity to use a different angle to seperate her from the background a bit?

I could have gotten directly in front of her but I thought it wouldn’t have the same impact.

'twas just wondering, and sounds like you checked out the other angles

 

[Fuji Dave]

Waiting and having a sleep, good candid image.

I bet i looked a bit wierd circling a sleeping woman.

 

[Manxmaid]

That's a well-timed candid, Ian, she looks tired and bored and is clearly waiting for something or someone. I don't mind the background; it sets the scene.

 

[IanD]

That's funny Ian - nice capture

 

[Ganton Gunner]

Hehe she looks like she has been waiting a good while very nice capture it really made me smile.

 

[karate-ka]

I thought i had more time this week, but life took over these are three i managed to get for rough.

 

[karate-ka]

 

[Fuji Dave]

Second shot of rough for me Jon, might need a straighten though but I just like that one more.

Jon, Who`s Jon i have just checked and it is straight.

oooooops sorry Ian

 

[Ganton Gunner]

1st pic for me I quite like it works well with the stairs behind.

 

[chrispp]

Definitely the second shot, Ian the colours are fabulous

 

[BobBCN]

I think all three fit the theme well. Rough textures throughout. The second and third have that kind of crude graffiti that you see everywhere nowadays and I guess it's more prominent in the rougher areas of the town etc.
