weekly NCF15 52 for 2025 Week 52 New

Week 10 Pattern
Had 2 ideas for this week. The mallards round here get fed so much they are very easy to photograph and we have lots of Hellebores out in the garden. I decided the feather pattern fitted the subject best although I always like the pattern of the Hellebore petals. The Hellebore was an automatic 15 shot stack blended in photoshop.

Two really nice shots, but I think you chose the right one - lovely!
 
The mallard feathers are really effective, caught my attention.
 
Lovely feathers!
 
I'm a sucker for a good flower shot and that one really pops. I like both options you took
 
two great shots, I like your selection but the flower...wow.
 
Two great shots. The feathers are fabulous for the theme, but as a stand alone shot, that hellebore is glorious - I'd be tempted to crop it square, but that's just me liking square frames for flower shots
 
Really like both shots Nick. Your chosen shot has such movement to it. I almost thought it was an ICM shot.
 
Great shot. I would never have thought of zooming in close for a picture like that.
 
Really nice, I like the high key feeling of the image.
 
Lovely kitty shot :)
 
Sorry, catching up... The horizontal image is lovely - the framing and the colours. The feather is gorgeous and made me throw my similar attempt in the bin! And love your cat!!

thats been broken for some time by the look of it, Nice.
 
Lovely long exposure.

Such a shame about the steel works. I sometimes used to go on the train with my Mum to the Valleys of South Wales. We would go past Port Talbot at night - it was like the fires of Hell - both frightening and exciting to a young child (I was about six).
 
Nice shot, great idea and box ticked for the long exposure
 
I really should check out the tech challenges. That works really well
 
That's one of the nicest photos of Port Talbot I've seen. Good use of the technique.
 
Week 15 Choice
Spent Sunday floating around on the lake photographing an event. Chose this one out of about 1000 pics. Used the great new photoshop feature of 1 click wire removal to get rid of most of the loads of power lines in the original.

Lovely shot Nick :)
 
Great pic, love the colours & you've got rid of the wires well! The remaining post looks a little lonely now, but almost blends in as a gigantic sail at first glance
