Hiya Gareth,
Doing a quick catch-up of the Photo52 members I haven't got round to viewing yet, so apologies for the delay.
Week 1: Like the way you have backlit the shot with tea-lights, very effective. Also like the way you have composed the image, although agree with the OOF comments.
Week 2: Another good take on the theme. Like the composition and angle at which you have shot this, but again agree with the OOF comments.
Week 3: A tad dark, and agree about the whole guitar being in shot, but as you said someone walked in the way.
Week 4: Wow that is a cracking moody shot. Agree with what was said about the face behind the sign, it adds to the Open theme, like it is an opening in the wall to another world. Well done.
Week 5: Another well thought out image for the theme. Although I'm not too keen on the scene itself, I appreciate your idea of how this fits with Hard and from a technical aspect I think you have given a lot of thought to leading lines and compositionn (even though a bit busy) it adds to the ambiance of the setting.
Sorry this has been a brief crit, but I have my work cut out for me getting round to all the others I have missed. Now that I have your thead tagged I will be able to keep up, hopefully.
Well done so far, you are doing a great job and I look forward to your coming weeks.
Cheers
Dawn
