Very clever - nicely thought through and shot.
Nice macro and great use of the motion blur on the second hand. Great for the theme too, and technique
My vote is also for #1 and I like the interpretation of the theme. Not sure it is high key - but I'm no expert!
Like others have said first shot is the one for me and like the blur on the second hand, good interpretation for the theme. Personally I think it fits technique.
Stan you nailed the theme and technique, like your moving second hand
the movement of the second hand in the first one makes that one the better of the 2 for me.
#2 for me Stan, I prefer the wider shot, but that is just a personal opinion/preference.
Winter. Three lovely shots, though I think I prefer no two.
Books. 1st does it for me. I too like the movement in it.
#1 for me Stan, nice blur on the second hand too.
I think both are good but #1 is a crisp image and good illustration of the book title.
Nice shots for Winter Stan. The fence line draws me into the photo nicely.
Brilliant thinking for your book shot. Another vote for the first image. Really well thought out & taken.
Clever idea for BOOK - like it
2 great images for the theme Stan No 1 just takes it for me.
Well taken, and love the movement in the second hand
book - #1 works great, I like the symmetry and the colours!
Book
I prefer the first shot, it's a good interpretation of a book.
Cracking shots for WINTER!!
BOOK - I tried this technique a while back. Perhaps the only photos that actually show the exposure time in the photo!! 4 seconds and 3 seconds respectively. (checked on Flickr!!)
Very good. both of 'em.
Very nice Stan. I prefer #1 the bright orange against a very dull sea works for me.
Yeah, defo #1 Stan. The Orange stands out far more against the water and there is the essence of speed in that shot, whereas #2 is more 'chug chug'
First shot for transport for sure, nicely taken, the photographer in the shots makes it all the better.
