Thanks TimHi Chris,
Tiny - Like it. On theme and well captured with quite a large range of tones between the clouds and the darker areas
Face - As Allan says... Bang on
The tighter crop definitely emphasises that she's just about to burst out with a fit of the giggles at you...
Quite like this take ( shoehorn ish ) on agriculture Chris. A farmers field can do agriculture, plus in one you have the sheep I will have to learn how to do photos like this too, ie together.
agriculture
NOUN
mass noun
Don't see how a shoe horn is required. I live in a rural village and as I said, this for me sums up the mixed feelings I have about agriculture. Without it we would live in a forest, with it we get open spaces and green fields but with that comes fences, walls, gates, barbed wire and blue plastic tubs. Thanks for commenting, each to their own I guess
- The science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.
Thanks TIm, that's why it's cropped like that , I did want to get out and reshoot that but weather and then time are against me this week.Seems bang on theme to me Chris, and I like all 4 parts of the image.
If I were being really picky, the sky is blown in the bottom left, but there is so little it doesn't matter.
Thanks Dean, did have them like that but then decided that I liked the cut-off end of the gate bars in the middle, with hind sight I suppose I could have flipped on of them.Nice idea Chris, though I would have the gates in opposite corners to even them out, but still, love the bright summery colours and a nice collection for the theme, works well mate
Well if you tried and it didn't suit you made the right decisionThanks Dean, did have them like that but then decided that I liked the cut-off end of the gate bars in the middle, with hind sight I suppose I could have flipped on of them.
Thanks StanA different take on the theme and very fitting too.
I don't see it as a shoehorn it's very agricultural four good images which all tie in to each other and the theme
Yep, Im with Allan on this.....
Exactly, they all work well together.
This take also reminds me of all the nice lands I wanted to camp on/lay down on the grass etc, but all were private, so no joy...
Graceful, now this shot I really do like Chris, main focus on the Ballarina foot and on toes, like the faint reflection and tile line, plus a great BG to really make the shot stand out well
I think, no I know this is great. Wonderfully executed, a nice hint of reflection on the floor and works well in mono
Perfect for the theme, and the slight reflection has already been mentioned but it does work very well
Thanks both, glad you like it.Clever idea Chris. Like the isolation of just the foot and the subtle reflection.
Thanks David, I wasn't overly happy with that bottom right shot for agriculture but glad you liked it.... Thought I'd commented on Agriculture, must have forgotten the post reply button ... love bottom right as a standalone.
Graceful ... perfect.
Thanks TimBang on.
Thanks Andy, wanted to get that reflection inThey never cease to amaze me. The strength in them feet is wonderul.
Uber critical, a tad off the bottom, maybe.
B&W works well.
Cheers.
Thanks DaveWell you got a shot in Chris and that`s good, like how the frame is well filled
Thanks StanWell done for keeping up-to-date even when on holiday. On theme and on subject.
Thanks for taking the time Emma, really appreciate it.Hi Chris - hope you'e enjoying your holiday, trying for a bit of a catch up.
Progress - nice thinking behind the shot...certainly got people talking!
Pleasure - the ultimate summer in the garden shot - definitely my sort of drink! i love the pretty flowery bokeh and the light through the glass. My only tiny nitpick would be the moisture stains at the bottom of the glass darkening the wood...but that really is a nit pick!
Tiny - great angle on this bizarre and colourful kite!
Face - I liked the original a lot but Andy's suggestion for a crop does highlight the great interaction between you and your daughter's delightful expression.
Agriculture - nice collection of shots - I like seeing these little details around the countryside.
Graceful - just lovely with the separation of the shoe and that hint of reflection. I wouldn't want to see the bottom of the reflection lost in a crop.
Fruit - frame filling juiciness - well done for getting the shot in whilst away!
Thanks for taking the time Andrea, much appreciated.Hi Chris, that's a great subject for Tiny - well spotted! Love the contrast not just in size but also in the bold colours of the inflatable compared to the darker figure of the human below.
Face - looks like you're both trying to keep straight faces and it adds a lovely warmth and intimacy to the image, especially in the second cropped image, which works really well.
Agriculture - a different take on the theme that shows the variety of scenes you're likely to see in the country, and they work well together.
Graceful - super shape of the foot and ankle, complemented by the dark background and the hint of a reflection in the tiles. It's one of those 'simple but effective' images that probably took a lot of effort to look 'simple'
Fruit - the close-up, frame-filling POV is very effective for this subject, and I do like the rich colours and the shiny skin.
