Namllihs' 52 (Art.)

Stop brings a :D to my face. As Sarah said above, a definite keeper of your Grandaughter.
Isolation works too, the dof certainly isolates the pink flower from the yellow background.
Well done on both counts.:thumbs:

Isolation by DOF

I would never have thought of that idea.:lol: Very obvious once someone else has done it.:)
Like the image too. Well done.
 
Works brilliantly Steve, nice bit of isolation going on there. I like it
 
haha great shot for stop, i can imagine all kids are thinking the same when the grown ups get their camera's out. was it a set up shot, if it was its well doione, if it was a candid then its a fantastic capture:thumbs:

isolation fits the bill well, you have created a really shallow dof and the yellow colours behind look like a watercolour pallet.
 
I agree with Charlie. Really unique interpretation of the theme and you've controlled the DoF perfectly. The whole of he flower is perfectly sharp and the background is brilliant.

It's a shame that you couldn't have got it in all its flowering glory, but the dying flower heads almost add another layer of desolation and isolation.
Lovely colours and well executed. I like this a lot.
 
Perfect DOF and a really good take on this weeks theme.
The dying heads don't really add anything for me but its still a really good shot
 
Still not posted a 'Quality' shot yet, But I will get to it. Here is 'Post'

This signpost is about halfway round my favourite walk from Bakewell up to Ashford in the water onto the Monsal trail and back to Bakewell.

I like the idea but as Allan said the tree behind if off putting. sky again, but its hard work in the UK when the weather is only nice for a week a year
 
I was asked by our press officer to take some shots of varios activities in the unit that I manage. These were for use in our advertising brochure, department newsletter and company website.
I think this one fits the bill for Metal.

Post, a great idea, and a wonderful post. The post itself is spot on, but the sky is being it's usual painful self...

Metal, I try not to comment on a theme I've not got something for yet, but there's no chance I'll get anything like that :D... I think it fits the theme, and would say it probably fit nicely in the brochure.. what did the press officer think ? The focal point is clear, and I quite like it.
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: You need to slow down Steve. You got metal in before I even had chance to look at post!

And I really do like that post :thumbs:
Lovely craggy texture and wonderfully descriptive directions - you wouldn't find that on a normal road sign!

As others have said, let down a bit by the background - distracting hedge and dull sky. Definitely more potential in that post though.

Metal : Well that was a stroke of luck this week wasn't it?
I can really see this in your company brochure, so I hope your press officer liked it.
From an artistic perspective I'd maybe have liked a bit more blur in the background to lose that crease, but for the purpose it was shot for I think it's pretty much spot on :thumbs:

His fingers do look very close to that blade though :eek:
 
I love your 'post'. It has a well weathered natural look to the wood that you have captured. The metal is bang on theme and nice and clear and I dont think anyone else had a man working with it.
 
It's great when the ideal picture presents itself for a theme, Steve - and you have certainly made the most of it.

It's an excellent shot - I like the composition, the concentration suggested by his body language, the subdued background (minus the crease :)), the way the light is falling on the metal sheet and the reflection of his overalls in the metal. I also like the pov and I bet it looks great in the brochure.

Definitely a :thumbs: from me. :)

Thanks all and yes the press officer has used this and some of my other images in our advertising literature and on the website.
 
Grunge is not an easy subject, but I think this fits the bill.
This is the spill tray on the workshops used oil disposal tank, looks like it needs a clean up.:)

Absolutely spot-on the the theme and I actually quite like the monotone textures here. I think closing in on one section might have made for a stronger composition.

Phil
 
Well your 'grunge' shot is certainly spot on - lots of depth and detail in there, great!
 
Now that's :gag: very grungy... so bang on theme... I think I'd agree with Phil, narrowing in on one item would make it stronger.
 
Wow, this for me is the best image of the week.
Its spot on with the theme.
Whos the lucky person who gets to clean that out?
 
A bit of a cheat as this image is about 5 years old.
My grandaughter Naomi at about 1 hour old, and the start of a great relationship.

She will be 5 in August. She can cheer me up when I am down, she is full of energy and always has questions to ask about anything and everything.

Not a technically good shot, but still one of my favourites.

Beginnings.

Really good idea for this weeks theme. The best type of beginning.
 
I can understand why it's one of your faves Steve. Sounds great too. Great idea for the theme.
 
What a cutee & what a lucky grandad!

Phil
 
Thanks for the comments.

Art for art's sake.

Beautiful creation - how did you do it?

Phil
 
wow looks like some weird jelly fish at the bottom of the ocean, really nice colours.
 
That's beautiful Steve - no idea what it is. Looks like some kind of combination between smoke art and painting with light.
To be honest though, I don't care. I just really like for what it is :thumbs:

I missed your beginnings shot last week too. She's a real cutie.
As you said, it may not be technically perfect but some of my photos that mean the most to me aren't technically perfect either. Sometimes it's more about memories and emotions . . . and in that sense it's perfect in every way that matters.
 
Thanks for the comments.

Technicaly this is not a photograph, it is generated from a mathematical formula using a fractal generator and a bit of photoshop.

Fascinating... looks almost like a spirograph. Arty indeed
 
As said above, art indeed. I like it too, the colours and effect are very eye catching. Iain
