weekly Helen C's 52 for 23. Week 52 - Favourite shot of 2023

Nice dreamy shot Helen. Is that the usual colour of the leaf or has Fall begun to set in?
 
Great colours on the leaf and background but it reminds me Autumn is nearly upon us:).

If you'd not said you'd run out of time I'd never have guessed.

It's a beautiful shot. Love the light and the depth of field.

Lovely seasonal capture that works well in B&W, I probably wouldn't have considered B&W for that image so it taught me something.

@Darkslinger Thanks. The leaves are that colour all summer and are quite translucent so look superb when backlit.

@nog It is not far off but think of the colours when the leaves start to turn :)
 
Better late than never. Not much urbanity in rural Suffolk... and was missing a car for some of the week which was highly unhelpful!

On my travels at the moment so a quick phone shot of the place I grew up... aka (following a damning tv documentary decades ago) Sleepy Hollow!

Back from my travels up norf! You certainly can't get more solid that Whitby Harbour wall! Not much of a sunset but the early evening colour was lovely.

Fab shot Helen. Hope the steps didn’t hurt too much :)

@-Oy- By the end of that day I'd clocked up over 10 miles... the steps were the final straw :oops: :$

Urban - love the fact that you had to get your thinking cap on for that one. Lovely colours and great (gate) framing.

Hollow - not sure I'd have got it without the explanation, but makes sense.

Solid - another stunner.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Much appreciated.
 
I should have had lots to choose from but am currently isolating as a contact recently tested covid positive. Waiting to test tomorrow and hopefully will be clear!
So, a local shot.

I like that shot - a nice example of the gap between things sometimes being important. Nice conversion.

Hope the test is clear.
 
Nice looking gate with a bit of wood grain showing and the round boil heads, looks good against the soft BG.
The brace on the left is a bit short though?
 
Nice one Helen. Another theme closed off :)
 
I love the editing on this, the wood texture and grain really pops out.

Hope you're ok
 
It's a nice one Helen. Simple and well-composed. The shallow DOF really suits it well.
 
Solid - lovely exposure and I like the shapes and the way you put one of the lighthouses in the center of the gap.
Gates - great shot, simpe and effective.

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment. Much appreciated.
 
That's right up my street, we have a few comical names in my local Cemetery, I'll have to take some pics and share them on here.

Great texture showing on the stone.

LOL, at least his second middle name wasn't "meat"...

I do like that. Makes me laugh too. But then I AM childish.

Thanks for the comments guys.. glad you enjoyed it!
 
The “clutter” really adds to the character of the picture, feels quite emotive. Nice
