weekly rpn's 2020 52 Photo Challenge - Week 52 DECORATIONS Added ***COMPLETE***

Not seen pegs used in the 52 for a while. You've probably started a revival ;)
Liking that there are 3 (maybe 4?) lines in use and the shallow DoF that actually brings two into focus.

Thanks, Tim. I've had pegs as props for a couple of themes over the years.

Cheers, Clive.
 
Just catching up!!

Music - Sheet music has been a popular element to include for this theme in which it works well.
A bit of contrast too between the old music and the more modern keyboard.

Colourful - Fantastic image, really caught my eye, great crisp lines and solid colours.
Definitely has an optical illusion feel to it.

Something Old - Great reflections, with just the right light conditions. Would it benefit having the black level adjusted?

Liquid - Eye-catching, bright, well defined, like the contrast between the bubbles and the background.

A Household Item - Thankfully the weather has been decent to make use of them!
I like the variations, did you consider a wider shot to get the first peg on the top left in full?
 
Great colours and super shallow DoF. Works well!
 
Great example of a mundane subject making an incredible photo. Great DoF.

Thanks, Stuart for the catchup comments.

I've to tip-toe to get the pegs shot so I didn't spend too much time to get different angles.
 
Since the lockdown over 10 weeks ago I've taken more photographs of birds and flowers than ever before. Luckily with all these practices, I managed to get a couple that, I hope, fit this week's theme.

This one was taken earlier today; spot the sparrow.

Sparrows are always Spadgers round here.

And Starlings are Sheppies :)

I like both for the theme, just trying to get a fox cub looking through long grass and failed.
Are they sparrows though? I was thinking maybe a Twite from the eye marking...but I'm not an ornithologist

Thanks, Clive.

I'm not a birdie man either just thought they are common house sparrows. Maybe some expert can confirm.
 
I also prefer the second one, it's a really nice catch.

2nd for me too - not an easy exposure with the bird (sorry for the non-committal sparrow / spadger / twite etc...) in the shadows like that.

First took a couple of looks, and I'll admit that in the main thread I thought it might have been some seeds/bulbs etc hidden under the soil... :exit:

Thanks, Alex. let's just call it a garden bird whether it's a sparrow, spadger or twite.
 
Just looked again and BOOM! I see her! I was looking behind the chicken wirev lol.
 
Both a great images for the theme Stan but No 2 takes it for me too.

It took me a good while to find the sparrow on the 1st Stan. I think I prefer the 2nd though.

Sparrows are Spuggies where I'm from (Ashington, Northumberland) - so anyone with Sparrow as a surname got called Spuggy at school.

PS - prefer number two too.

Cheers, Kell.

It's amusing that there are so many different names in different regions of the UK.
 
In #1 he is definitely more "hidden" but I prefer the second one too for composition.

Ha ha he is well hidden. I had to zoom in to find him on the first pic. I agree number two is the better composition, but there's no doubt he's well hidden in 1.

Same here, #2 is the more appealing shot, though #1 is truly hidden (I wouldn't have noticed the sparrow if you hadn't mentioned there was one).
