Good stuff Dave!
I'll buck the trend and say I like the first more. Having the black around it, and it partially hidden behine 'something' gives a bit of mysteyr and interest. I like the fact the III is positioned at the 12 o/c position too.
Both shots may have been happy to have the whites pushed a bit, but I don't know what editing capabilities you have currently.
and another vote for number 2 here, agree perhaps a little lighter especially on the right hand side
Same for meI agree 2nd watch for me as well. I perhaps would have upped the exposure a touch but that's down to my taste and not a criticism.
Same for me
Really nice Dave, the b&w suits it well.
Love the second watch photo also, nice look to it and who doesn't like the look of a watch mechanism
Nice details in the watch Dave, glad to hear you are on the road to recovery.
Pete
Yup, I'm with #2 and I like the low key lighting.
Transparent, Lovely shot of the pocket watch, I like the low lighting you have used.
Snappers Choice. Fits the bill for the Tech nice lighting on the face of the sphinx.
How you feeling now Dave?
Yep - works for me that Dave
Nice one Dave.
Nice black and white fits the tech, slow and steady with your rehab and take care
Very interesting shot Dave and fits the juxtaposition in a couple of ways.
I like it, it works well
Hope your doing well!
Well lit there Dave - black blacks and white whites!
Fits for juxtaposition too - I'd have taken the stormtrooper a bit lower to make closer eye contact between the two maybe?
Love your thought and idea behind the shot. Fits the Juxa... whatever theme perfectly; ancient civilisation King contrasting with a futuristic space soldier and of course black and white.
Nice one Dave
That fits the bill for me... I was thinking along the same lines... you've fitted in lots of juxta's in there as well as contrast too..
Nice shot Dave, been thinking of getting an air fryer. Good crisp shot!
Fits the theme three times over, I'm slightly concerned about the symbol under "function"
Bang on theme Dave good clean shot
That works well. Bold crop I like.
The way the reflections come out of the knobs in the segments is really interesting too. They're all showing a different pattern, and the concentric circles in the knobs shows nicely.
The airfryer we have recently bought only has 1 knob, but plenty of buttons, only used it once so far, The wife is not keen on it, she likes cooking on gas.
