Nostromo's 52 4 26 wk-12 Daily life

[Nostromo]

Well, not a great start to this years challenge, i'm playing catch up already. Since the 3rd of the month i've been very ill, with a very bad cold, flu or maybe covid (who knows).
I'm feeling better now, so here's my start for this year.

Wk1- lines and angles

Wk2 - Rust and decay

Good set Dominc!

 

[Adamcski]

Both work well for the themes. Well done

 

[JackBell]

I like the angle you've famed the first image, adds interest.

 

[LC2]

Glad you're feeling better.
Both shots would work for the rust theme, I do like them colours in the first image.

 

[Cloudforest]

Two good shots Dominic and I like the processing on both.

 

[Boots]

A good pair of shots. Glad you are feeling a bit better.

 

[SimonH]

A couple of perfect shots for the theme there!

 

[Allan.H]

Really like the texture you have caught in both images, both fitting for the themes

 

[nog]

Good start to the 52, both suit the theme

Wk3-Windows and doors

I had planned to go out at the weekend to find something interesting, but the weather and life got in the way.
So you'll just have to put up with mu garden shed.
My original idea was to go black and white, but i actually prefer the colour version.

A strong composition and nicely processed. The colur one works really well.

 

[Boots]

Great! As Pete said, really good composition and processing.

As someone who loves B&W, I am always surprised when I write that I prefer the colour version - the muted palette is really effective. In my opinion it makes the slightly more saturated tool handles really stand out, which makes the image more balanced.

 

[Adamcski]

Love both of those and the editing is right up my street

 

[LC2]

The weather has been pants hasn't it
I agree the colour version has more impact, possibly because there is very little colour to the image.

 

[Kell]

Colour version for me.

Lovely processing.

 

[Simonbrown16]

You've picked the right one in my opinion, and you've made what could be seen as a boring picture very interesting, the garden tools in the window makes the picture pop.

 

[philthejuggler]

I really like the colour version of windows and doors - a really strong image.

 

[AlanDorset]

Good decision to stick with colour, it really lifts the picture with the subtle yellows. B&W seemed flat to me

 

[kanephotos]

Agree with the rest on the colour version. Great composition, the tools in the window provide so much narrative to the image.

Thanks all for taking the time to look and giving feedback.

 

[Darkslinger]

Beautiful shot Dominic, you have a great eye. I would definitely have chosen the colour one.

Agree with your choice of the colour version, garden tools in the window adds a lot to the picture

 

[SimonH]

Got to love a shed! Colour for me.

[wornish]

Definitely on theme.

 

[nog]

Well set up, like the cracker colour

 

[Boots]

Nice idea - and a nice composition.

 

[Adamcski]

Love this and very well set up and presented.

 

[NickD]

Nice! The layout and the soft colours look great.

 

[-Oy-]

That's a cracker that is!

 

[LC2]

Nicely composed. I like that.

 

[Allan.H]

Excellent composition. simple and to the point.

 

[SimonH]

Nicely composed Dominic. Big tick here!

 

[philthejuggler]

Really good still life - I like the soft lighting - almost has a pastel feel.

 

[Cloudforest]

Love the composition and different shades of colour.

 

[JayceeC]

That's a cracker that is!

My thoughts exactly

 

[AlanDorset]

Smashed it

 

[Darkslinger]

Beautiful shot Dominic, love the composition and the processing.

WK-5 Rainy day

Well unsurprisingly it didn't rain at the weekend when i had some free time. This wasn't my first idea, i wanted a shot with people and rainfall, but i had to find a subject i could do at home. So i've ended up with this.
