You have caught lovely poses with your geese - a pity they are not a bit sharper but wildlife is always hard, and you have done well under difficult conditions.
Goose pervert! I like it.I was expecting another still life!
The froggies are fun, and I'm glad you didn't fall in!
As ever a slightly different take on the theme, definitely candid as they seem totaly unaware of your presence.
If I were being really picky (and I'm not) I would say lose the reeds on the left side of the frame.
Really liking the Candid shot. Great detail, interesting subject and i like the textures in there. The water looks almost computer generated. I think the backlighting works well. Good work
Hi Sarah,
I've finally worked my way through the mass of posts and all of your great 52. To be honest there's not much I can add to what has already been said but looking at your images I've got a long way to go to get to your standard!
A few of my highlights:
The chopped jigsaw is my favourite, it's a little different from the norm which is why I like it
Street is fabulous, some amazing photography and good PP
Speed - I wish I hadn't noticed it as I was planning to do this at the weekend as a catch up for me. I know I can't do better than that so I won't even try!
People 2 is great, I have friends in Cardiff and love that area, another clever shot and great reflections
Mechanical made me smile - very clever play on words. I really like attentions to detail like that.
The only thing I'm not sure of is candid, I like the picture but I'm not sure it falls into candid for me. I can't decide if animals count!
A really great set of images, keep it up, or should I say don't keep it up. You're showing us all up!
Great candid shot I love the soft sunlight.....nice pp
The 'arty' feel works for me and they appear to have no idea that you are there so it's certainly candid....but there again I can just imagine one saying to the other:
'Don't look now; there's another one of those toggers on yonder bank. And get this: she's only going for backlit!'
I think I would have liked there to be no grassy foreground - just geese in ripply water. And one little detail insists on catching my eye every time I look - that blimmin blade of grass obscuring the goose's tail.
But these things aren't really a problem here because they help to reinforce the unposed candid feel of the shot.
(the Marmite bit)
.. wait until you get something 1/3 as bad as "man-flu!"
- looks very CGI / Futuristic / Another world in a galaxy far faraway, but I am not a lover of the evil brown paste in a jar!
, agreed, its only coz us men are SO strong we survive, it would wipe out the female race!
Definitely crowbarred into the theme, very surreal and futuristic image. It has an 'another world' feel to it
As for the image - sorry I can't call it a photo anymore!
Well, you have some excellent photoshop skills. I wouldn't know where to start to get something like that so on that point...

Hey Sarah, playing catch up :-S
Week 10 - Chemistry: great shots, nice colour, good PP and great idea, like a sun behind and the flower searching for the rays - great concept
Week 11 - Candid: very funny, looks like there are just minding their business when suddenly lurking in the bushes comes a 'CLICK'
Week 12 - Produce: well tough title to start with... ...as for the shot, sorry to say although your Photoshop skills are evident, I dont get it - and as you said not even sure if it qualifies as a photo any longer.
The colour is good and would be great for a trance party flyer, but.... ...not really for me, soz
It is a very striking image Sarah and your photoshop skills are brilliant. However it is too far removed from a photograph for i'm afraid.
It does remind me of being underwater but then it has rays of light coming from the bottom instead of the surface.
It is certainly produced though

...
I am with Lynton, if it was man flu, that is a near death experience where it is impossible to function Iain
First off, Sarah - I'm sorry you're feeling so ill. People (ie men) who get man-flu have no idea at all what a cold's like for us women. I hope your OH has been keeping you supplied with the Lemsip and hot toddies.
tbh, if I'd been feeling that ill I'm quite sure my creative urges would have been dormant, so well done for all the creativity going on in this image. You're right - it probably isn't a photo, but so what! There are still people around who say it's not a photo if you use a digital camera, or tweak it in photoshop.
It's intruiging, pleasing to the eye and is full of interest. It's up there with the Marmite - and I love it!
Get well soon.
Jean
for Marmite. Just never ask me how I did it - because I really have no idea!That's very different Sarah... I like it in an arty abstract kind of way, There is no way I'd ever have got back to it's origins though. As for crowbar... it looks more like it's been angle grinded, then smacked with a sledgehammer to fit
Sarah, first off, thanks for the heads up on last weeks theme, it was much appreciated. I don't think this is a crowbar job, there is a photograph in there and you produced the final image. FWIW, I think it fits the theme. I love the processing you have done on this, the colours are vibrant, the whole image has a surreal, futuristic feel to it. I like marmite. Well done on this even though you were ill with a bit of bird flu
Hmmm...I'm a little undecided Sarah.
I think I can make out a tree in the two globes. I like the 'rays of light'.
Maybe the 'product' of a medicated mind (in a lemsip kind of way!)
Hope you're feeling better.
My word - you certainly have produced that haven't you!
It's a good artistic effort, the colours are pleasing to me and overall I like what you've done
And who cares if it's a crowbar
)Love it Sarah! Very creative - I'm impressed - I wouldn't have a clue where to start to produce something like this...well done!
