Week 0.......Song Title



Week 1....... Deciding what to ORDER

 

[Fuji Dave]

Good placement of the matches, like it

 

[Cobra]

1) Status Quo or Brian and Michael Ruth?
Who ever, its plain and simple works well

2) oh to be spoilt for choice
Nice start Ruth

Oh I do like the matchstick triptych Ruth - very clever and exceptionally well taken. Are you going to try and make the cats & dogs too ha ha ?
PS: Nothing beats a curry.

 

[Dark Knight]

I like the match triptych too although I can not work out the song but still nicely set up and lit.

As for Order, a good simple idea, loads of choice there and perfect for the theme of course

 

[Cobra]

although I can not work out the song

Its either Status Quo pictures of matchstick men
or Brian and Michael Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs

 

[Emja]

Your Matchstalk men are very striking Ruth Beautifully done. And I'm with Carl on the choice of meal.
So very sorry to hear about your brother in law though - what a terrible thing to happen.

 

[susiejb]

Love the matchstick men Ruth, it works really well for the theme.
I'm another one for a curry nice colourful assortment of menus there.

Hope your brother in law improves very soon.

 

[Shirleyr]

So many restaurants to order from, nice display carefully spaced out.

 

[nickbee]

I like the menus but the matchstick men are a great idea. They have real character, I can visualise them animated.

Sorry to hear about your BIL, fingers crossed for him.

Love your matchstick men Ruth (top idea) .... was wondering why the triptych but now realise it wouldn't be pictures otherwise. Doh

This is a fab version ... outside BBC Broadcasting House

The matchstick men are very well lit, it's a great photo!
The places to order your takeaway from are very nicely arranged, but compared to the matchstick men it doesn't work as well for me.

 

[SteveSc]

I like the matchstick men, very well done and shot.

Nice choice of takeaways, seems slightly weighted in favour of chinese.....and where are the kebab shops?

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

week 0 I know the song and i like the image, nice placement of the matches very well done. Week 1 fits the theme but I cant help but feel that there is a better composition in there somewhere.

 

[posiview]

Hi, song, great detail and spotted the theme straight off

Order, in order and plenty to order.

Cheers.

 

[LC2]

Week 0 - I'm guessing it's The Quo as it's pictures, not paintings.
Where are the pictures of you though?
Nicely on theme

Week 1 - Works well, more or less all in the same plane, so in focus except right at the top. I may have gone for a longer exposure with a smaller aperture to increase the DoF, but that's purely a personal choice, nothing wrong with the way you've done it.

I hope everything goes okay with your BIL.

 

[viv1969]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
They are, as ever, greatly appreciated.
