Thank you for taking the time to comment. That wall did amaze me.Wow, those colours are certainly Vivid! What a colourful row of houses, and either image works for me; its all about those brilliant colours.
Broken is a great find, perfect for the theme and it shows how strongly those walls are constructed that the top is still intact, somehow. The view beyond is a nice bonus, framed by the broken wall.
Hold is also spot on for the theme as the windsurfer clings on as he gets thrown up by the waves. The bold colours stand out well against the muted background and add impact.
Nice catch-up - keep going
Thank you - yes I think I prefer that first vivid image too.Vivid - Certainly is! I prefer your first one with the fence leading in the image.
Broken - That's a sad looking wall, amazing it's still holding on.
Hold - Good action shot, I like the frozen spray
Thank you, yes I thought the island was a bonuswell done for doing something with that broken wall and framing the island like that.
and Hold is a cracker.
Thank you. I didn't think re graceful... can I put it in again?Lovely minimalist shot; it would do for graceful as well!!
Thanks Dave. I liked the oranges, but the execution was not perfect. Maybe I should try it again for this week's Fruit themeHi Bebop two nice shots but my choice is minimalistic as it is a lovely shot and good choice for the theme.
Thanks Dave. Both taken yesterday when I was playing with long exposures on the beach. She came past on the horse and I had my ultra-wide lens on Luckily I'd got my 24-70 with me and I reckoned she'd come back if I waited, and so she did! If I'd been more canny, I'd have walked down the beach to where there were no footprints.... funny how you notice these things afterwards!Agriculture is a good shot, like the leading lines of the crop. Graceful is a great shot, beautiful horse and BG really is a belter too plus a damn good shadow
My expectations are lower now, but I'll keep plugging away - hope to break even by the end of the year!! I hadn't thought to get the minimalist one printed, but I could do with getting something on the walls, so I must just do that - thank you for commenting.Glad to see you're plugging on with your 52 and caught up again
Minimalist is a very restful image, almost like a painting, and I could definitely see that hanging on a wall.
Agriculture works well as an image with the strong lines at the front of the scene leading to the solid row of brown at the top, and is also spot on for the theme.
Graceful could be an advert or poster with those strong, sunny tones. Love the way you've caught the horse off the ground, the dark shadow on the sand, and the picture postcard background - well done!
Thank you for taking the time to comment on them all.Hi Bebop.
Whole - Not sure why you weren't happy with this, nice exposure and good creative use of the crop.
Minimalist - Great processing, and good timing to get the 3 yachts lined up so well.
Agriculture - That puts me in mind of a waterslide at a theme park. Good use of perspective.
Graceful - All 4 feet off the ground! Well timed. Good contrast between your subject and the background. Someone you know? If so, I bet they'd be happy to stick that up on their wall.
Striking is good, thank you. Will try and keep the saturation slider under control next time!Good catch up, the flower is very striking
