Toothie's 52 - All the way to the end

Another great shot from you Ruth, and the background makes it for me. I can even see sparkles in the water :clap::clap:

And water is something we don't take for granted out here, although why they keep building golf courses which use a massive amount, go figure :shrug: :cuckoo:
 
Love the sparkles in the water Ruth - great idea for this weeks theme too!

Nicely set up and taken - the blue card somehow looks very natural!!! :D

Well nothing profound or insightful this week, just some train lines taken this am.

I like it - definately fits the theme and the the way the tracks curve lead me into the shot well. The only thing I'd say is that you could perhaps lose a bit of sky. :thumbs:
 
This is really nice Ruth, Lovely interest in both the sky and foreground. Luvvly :clap: :clap:
 
I like this Ruth, I dare say there is a bit more drama in that sky but I like how the railway line pull the eye through the pic to that sky.

Good stuff.

I'd agree with that - clear crisp and spot on theme - the sweep of the rails is great - I'd just be inclined to reduce some sky space to concentrate on the rails!

Lovely shot nonetheless :)

I've nothing else to say, they have already said it :thumbs::thumbs:
 
Now that's a fine looking bit of railway track...and you got more cloud in your sky than me...:clap::clap::clap:

Great minds and all that...:lol:

Gets my vote...:thumbs:
 
Just catching up!

Simple, very effective and fits the theme very well.:clap:

Linear, I like it. I think this weeks theme has been harder to do well than last week. Like John I'd be tempted to lose some sky.

Well done and keep going.:thumbs:
 
Very nice Ruth, the track lines are strong and bold. I do like the sky, but I'm also going to vote for losing a bit of it. :thumbs:
 
Another train shot, and this one is very pleasing to the eye, I do like how you can see it bend off to the left :thumbs:
Nice colours too, draws my eyes to the railway

That's exactly what I thought as I scrolled down before reading everyone else's comments, just a bit less sky for me but spot on for perspective :clap:
 
Very nice, Ruth. I think I'd have to say I agree about the composition, if you'd got the horizon on the third it would have been top marks all round!!
 
Not overly happy with this weeks image but i have failed to get anything better, so here it is.



The idea is watching a soppy movie, not sure i carried it off very well though.

Things i have learn't

1. High ISO only works well if the exposure is perfect
2. My tv is way too small
3. I should learn to like wine
 
Love those socks Ruth - :)

The only improvement I would have made is perhaps made it evident that the film is a tearjerker - maybe have the case in view or the title screen rolling :)

Oh and that glass of wine!

But I love the concept and its really well composed imho!

Love the 'viewer's eye' view you've given us :) almost as if we're in your shoes socks :)
 
This really made me smile. Those are the ultimate in 'comfort socks'. The tissues and chocolate are nice touches, too. :thumbs:

I don't recognise the film, so I apologise if it's one everybody else in the whole world would know, so, like John, I would have liked a little visual prompt that it was a tearjerker.

It's a great interpretation of the theme and - btw - I can let you have a few empty wine bottles if you need them. :lol:

Thanks for the feedback guys

The film is Stand by Me, the box is in the pic but your right i could have made it clearer what the film was, i didnt put the box on the table becasue it looked too staged imo. I fi get time i will reshoot this in the week, am sure i can do it and the ideas from you guys are helping:D

PS am not gonna tell you what Martyn said it looked like but i am sure the boys will know :naughty:

Works well, comfort socks, chocs and tissues what more could a girl want to watch a soppy movie.

A bigger T.V thats what lol!!!! Im surprised you can see that from where you were sat lol :)

I think it all fits the theme well mate.
 
Nice one Ruth, I never can tell the Corey's apart, and did wonder at first if this wasn't 'Dream a little Dream'.

I love the socks (do hope they are bright pink!) and the picture is a scene often played out with my own eyes!!

well done :clap: :clap:
 
lol cool pic

i wonder if selectively colouring the chocolate wrapper would add more giggle factor
 
don't feel unsure, I like this - a complete different take on theme and it works very well :clap: great composition too! :thumbs:

Thanks Shorty glad you like :)
 
Again, you've made me smile and I think the concept works well
;)

This is a better pic than you seem to think it is, It made me laugh and it tells a story, If all my pics would do just one of those things I would be really happy.

Fits the theme really well too.

Thanks guys am glad you like it, i guess i was disapointed in the exposure as i had real lighting issues and also the B&W conversion seems to me to be tones of gray but i couldn't get it any different with out losing detail which again is probely due to the exposure issues.
 
It's pretty good, not sure why you thought it was a poor effort from you...:nono: it's perfect for the theme, and thoose socks were the finishing touch for me...:thumbs:

I think it works really well... and I knew the film so that helps :D

I love your take on the theme - tear jerky film, fluffy socks and chocolate all make me feel one of two things... all snuggly and comforted or sad and lonely. I think if you added some wine it would be the latter but as you havn't I'm going to go with the positive interpretation which makes me feel good :thumbs:
 
Very good Ruth, I have to agree with the other comments, it works really well, although I didn't recognise the film (nor spot the box till you mentioned it, not that I can read it anyway) so perhaps a more visual prompt. Although having said that I knew what you were intending to show with it :thumbs:

thanks, i think your right about the film though :)
 
ok this week i wanted to show the complex nature of the human body and i wanted to represent this with a nude shot however no one would pose for me :(

So instead i present to you the complex game of cricket



not very good technically but there you have it.

What i have learnt this week:
1. lots of things about cricket
2. Take a lens longer than 105mm to sporting events
3. Dont forget suncream
