Hi Hon,

New - Good looking shot that. The mono works well and the low angle is good too.
Clean - Nice bright, sharp image. Perfect for the theme too.
Open - Brilliant photo! Very much open

 

[Minx]

Clean - fabulous image
Open - that is very open great capture.

Someone had to do it for the moon, and what a cracking shot too Jon. Great detail and lighting is bang on and sharp in the right places

 

[GarethB]

Wow, super image Jon!
As Dave said, it's super sharp with great contrast and fantastic detail.
Very nice work!

 

[LC2]

Lovely sharp shot there Jon, much better than my attempts at lunar photography.

 

[Ganton Gunner]

lol very good Moon capture I stared at it myself and thought nope cos I knew someone else would do it.

 

[susiejb]

I agree, lots of super detail there and absolutely perfect for the theme.

Nice Moon. This was my backup plan if my train pic hadn't worked

 

[BobBCN]

I like this idea. I remember when I discovered how to photo the moon after only achieving white spheres!! Daylight settings of course!! But I needed internet to tell me!! I did a ton way back, not so much now. I recall the moon looking quite small against a rectangle of black in the original photos (using only a 300mm lens), but then when you zoom in... boom!! All the detail, shadows. craters etc. Great shot!!

 

[rpn]

That's a nice moon shot, sharp and details. I've tried many time but never able to achieve half as good as yours.

 

[FlyPhot]

really nice, great shot!

 

[chrispp]

Spot on the theme, I have always struggled taking pictures of the moon.

 

[Carl Hall]

Excellent shot, perfect fit for the theme. Lots of detail to look at.

 

[IanD]

What a lovely image - it's just about on theme

Great detail to it

 

[Manxmaid]

Excellent idea, Jon , and most definitely meets the theme! It's always fascinating to look at the details of the moon's surface and you have captured plenty here; nicely done.

Week 5 - Cold

[BobBCN]

Great shot, and the spot on focus brings out the colours really well.

 

[-Oy-]

Fab Moorhen - good eye!

 

[FlyPhot]

Great detail in the feathers, nicely taken image.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Lovely image for cold Jon, liking the little reflections too in this cold image.

 

[GarethB]

Superb shot!
Fantastic sharpness....focus is right on the eye....perfect!
Great colours and composition.
Lovely stuff!

 

[susiejb]

That's lovely the hint of a reflection and fabulous detail in the feathers, walking on ice, you don't get closer to the theme than that!

 

[Nostromo]

Cold
It's a lovely shot. Great colours in the bird and good detail. It also shows the COLD theme well.

 

[chrispp]

I agree with the majority of he comments, great shot

 

[IanD]

Nicely done indeed. As others have said, great detail in the Moorhen, and the ice around it's feet makes the image look cold

 

[seaodyssey]

Jon

Clean, what an excellant Duck. B&W of his feathers work well against the blue water and his orange eye really stands out. All very Sharp.

Open, wide, I think you could have cropped right in and got rid of the dull grass bits.

Distant, very clean moon Image, bang on theme, in focus and great detail.

Cold, your telephoto lens is paying for its keep. Another great shot. Moorhen on Ice. Plenty of detail, good focus and all the right bits are sharp.

[Leebert]

Tack sharp shot for cold. Superb detail and great for the theme.

 

[Manxmaid]

This is a different take on the theme; the focus is spot on and the colourful bird is beautifully isolated from its clearly very cold surroundings

 

[LC2]

Sharp, especially when zoomed in on flickr. I like how the reflections in the waves are creating bokeh balls.
Nice low angle shot too. (Hope you didn't get too wet laying down to get it).

Week 6 - Waiting

https://www.flickr.com/photos/76999116@N05/

 

[BobBCN]

I like your take on the theme. I think mine might be a group shot, too. I was just thinking about the guy far left, leave him there or crop him out? Often difficult to know what's best with groups.

 

[GarethB]

Super image Jon!
Looks great as a mono, and great detail too.
You've made the most out of the light you had, very well done - the building looks spectacular, and the line of people is fitting of the theme.
I quite like the chap on the left....he looks like he's waiting for something/someone, so he fits well with the theme.

 

[chrispp]

Full of things to look at, plenty of people definitely waiting for different things I’m sure

 

[Deleted member 59779]

Fits the theme well.

 

[DomRim]

Fits the theme and works well in mono.

 

[LC2]

Works for the theme.
I was wondering about a letterbox crop to emphasise the length of the queue, but then you'd lose the "theatre"signage, so maybe not.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Very good take on the theme Jon, goes well in mono and you caught the whole image well.

 

[Manxmaid]

It's all been said above, Jon - a large collection of people who are clearly waiting, an impressive building, and good choice of processing.
