PART 1 : Kennysarmy 52.26 Sensual (Pussy) added! ( links on post 1 too )

Got to agree with all said: on theme, nice and focused, interesting background and the spacing between the vine is stop on...and neither the top or bottom of the vine is visible.

Cheers.
 
Hi Jeff great thread you have here.

"Twisted" - Wow! what a great shot. So simple but very striking. One of my favs for this week. Wonderful use of DOF (I would have been tempted to have a tad more detail in the background). Excellent lighting and exposure.
beautiful detail in the main subject.
Mainly I like it for the feeling of peaceful beauty.

"Hidden" - Very difficult lighting conditions with the extremes of light and dark. I like the angle and composition, and the hidden bench is great. The large area of dark detracts from the image for me. Have you got Lightroom? - you could try using a graduated filter effect to bring up the dark area. Let me know if you want me to have a go with PP.

Love the "Promise" pic - that is so cute.

Cheers, Patrick
 
Well spotted, as has been said, nightmare lighting.

One of the better posts for the hidden theme.

I'd like to see one in better lighting conditions.

Strange how someone has mowed around it but not seen fit to sort out the bench....not in your garden is it....:$
 
Hiya Jeff,

Well done on finding this little hidden gem .... it obviously doesn't get sat on very much :D

As has already been said about the lighting I won't repeat, but I do like the angle at which you have taken the shot.

Cheers

Dawn :)
 
Well it worked for me i was drawn to the trees in background looking for what was hidden ! superb then then i realized :thumbs: great shot
 
I like it. But I really hope you can honestly say that it was really far away and you couldn't hang around for better light.
 
Hi Jeff

Superb shot for Twisted.....great DOF , great detail & you've captured how delicate the plant is ,really really nice capture :clap:

Took me a minute or so to see what is Hidden so bang on theme , agree with other comments about lighting but for me, it doesn't detract too much & love the little blue flowers that stand out :thumbs:
 
Plenty of broken things there, but that weed needs pulling out.
I don't know why, I just don't like it in the image.
And the second negative (again a minor one) I think I would rather a crop on the right so you lose the non rendered masonry.

Is it an old fuel pump?

There's lots to keep the eye's looking, the paint, machine bits, the render, and when you look at the original size you can even see the cob webs!

Over all I like it, it's a nice image for broken.
 
Great shot, and some stunning textures :-)
If there was anything left to try, it might be to crop right and bottom a smidgen, just putting the plant in the bottom right corner, and a small plain border ;-)

But I like this shot.
Well done.

Hiya Jeff,

A great shot for 'broken' and right on theme :thumbs:

I agree with the others about the crop of the right. I'm in two minds about the weed/plant ..... in a way I like it because it adds a bit of life to the image ... if that makes sense.

My only slight nitpick would be that it looks like the image could do with a slight straighten.

Otherwise I really like this photo, well done.

Cheers

Dawn :)
 
I'd agree with a slight crop off the right, but please keep the weed because I like the juxtaposition of the industrial and natural.

I also like how the red pipe compliments to red door.

Nice weathered wood on the side.

I'm unsure about the composition, though. One of them occasions where it's neither to tight or wide, if you know what I mean.

Cheers.
 
Broken, I'm sure it is :thumbs:

I feel that a slice off that right hand side would be beneficial and maybe a tiny boost to contrast?

Great find though. At first I thought I'd like the weed out but after spending some time I decided that as it was alone I prefer it in.

Hi Jeff

Broken sure fits the theme on several levels..the pump itself , the masonary & the paint . The muted colors suit it well & I don't mind the weed....seems to add to the Broken down feeling. Great find & great capture :thumbs:
 
Hiya Jeff, I think all this needs is a contrast boost and perhaps a saturation boost, to give it a little extra oomph. I like the pic :thumbs: With the plant in, it adds to the broken theme!

"There is no such thing as a weed, it's just a plant growing in the wrong place" ;)
 
Hi, I agree with Dave regarding the front button, it has a frosted look to it which makes it stand out a bit too much.

You have some really great contrasts going on and b&w is, for me, the only choice here.

I might actually prefer all the buttons to be in focus as the 2 at the back seem to be a lot further away than the others, because they are a lot blurrier...

Cheers.

I've been called some things in my time, but I take offence at being called Dave :lol:
 
Hiya Jeff,

Have to agree with other comments about the right button. I think it would have been best left out of the equation.

Otherwise I think it works well, only other tiny nit-pick would be that the button sitting on top of far left seems to have a flaw on the edge, which for me is slightly distracting especially as it seems to draw the light more.

Other than that I think the dark background works well and I like the DOF.

Cheers

Dawn :)

Lucky for you ... but drat :bonk: ..... I'll have one for you then ;)

Excellent image which is spot-on for "bright" and a very pleasing image too. Very nicely composed and lit. The black background is very clean and suits the subject well.

I feel you could try upping the exposure and deepening the blacks a tad to give a more dramatic "bright" image.

Something like this? Will happily delete if you wish.

Yep now that I like! Just what I was thinking ... thanks Patrick for putting into image my thoughts :thumbs: (saves me doing the work :p)

Jeff you have an image with a lot of potential .... so well done there :thumbs:

Cheers

Dawn :)
 
Hi Jeff,

I see what you've done here with the selective colour, but the small image size on TP makes it difficult to see the word 'rescue', large and original in flickr is much better.

It's a nice shot and on theme.

Now, where was this parked that they needed a padlock on the canopy?
 
Rescue, nice catch.

I suspect it was a little difficult to compose the photograph to get the 'Royal Air' in, the jet and the word rescue in the same photograph.

Some nice reflections on the jet.

Pity you couldn't get more detail in the sky.

Cheers.
