Snappers choice
Good colours. It's a simple post, but the lichen does add a little texture and contrast.

Cheers, Dominic. Its the dull colour of the lichen stands out amount the bed of green that attracts my attention.

Nicely framed Stan and shows lovely detail on the lichen.

Thanks, Pete. Zoom in and you can make out the cobweb too.

Perfect dof and nice soft colours. Makes for a simple but lovely image.

Thanks, Helen. Sometimes simplicity is best.

A couple from this morning's walk. The bark of this fell tree that caught my attention for this week's Texture theme. I included the little green plant to add some interest to the image.


Week 36 Texture

Bark Texture by Stan, on Flickr

Another fell tree. This one was blocking the path until the council chopped that section off.

First one for me on texture Stan, as you say the bit of green gives it some more interest.

Cheers, Dave. You are quick I was still posting the photo and the link in the main thread when you comment.

First one for me too Stan, though I do love the textures of the section through the second as well.

Thanks, Pete. I like both and each has its own merits.

I'm going against the grain here ( ) Stan.
I prefer the patterns and textures in the second one
To me the greenery draws the eye away from the textures in the bark.

The 2nd for me by a mile. The shrubbery just gets in the way on the first.

Good comments there and very good points. Maybe slightly further to the side so not so dominating.

 

[Shugpug]

Texture with green for me too. The textures in that bark are great.

Very tempted to make a Father Ted comment about your jogger though...

Cheers, Pete. What was the comment? Can't remember or I must have missed that one.

 

[Shugpug]

These are small, those are far away.

Got to love a bit of Father Ted!

#2 for me, I think there is more to it than just the bark in #1

 

[Phil S]

Interesting patterns in #2 but I like the contrast in textures on the bark and leaves in #1.

 

[FlyPhot]

It's the 2nd image for me too, I like the way you can see the spalting in that log (that would turn beautifully on a lathe and make some lovely bits and bobs).

Thanks, Tim & Jim. A coffee table would be nice to show off all those texture and patterns.

Texture
I think it was the right choice to include the little green plant in the first shot. It adds another texture, a smoother texture against the more rough texture of the bark.

 

[gman]

Great textures in both the bark and the plant - but the bark draws my eye more.

 

[CliveH]

Very nice for texture, the bright bit of greenery is a nice addition to the shot.

 

[HelenC]

The composition of #1 wins it for me.

Thanks, Graham and that's what caught my attention.

Thanks, Clive it does add a bit of interest rather than a boring old tree trunk.

The composition of #1 wins it for me.

Thanks, Helen.

Hi Stan

A nice bunch of textures in your Image. The green leaves add a nice pop to the image.

Thank you, Pete.

I was heading out to the coast hoping to shoot, photographically, some fishermen enjoying their leisure activities but came across a game of cricket being play while driving along the park. Stopped by the car park and got some action, not my genre, shots of them.


Week 37 Activity

Activity by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Fuji Dave]

That`s a cool shot Stan, good swing from the batsman and looking good for a 4.

Cheers, Dave I think he only got a 2. For the 15 minutes I was there there were no 4's or 6's!

 

[Shugpug]

Nicely timed shot with plenty of action. It could do with a bit of a crop for me, but nothing wrong at all for an out of comfort zone shot!

Thanks, Pete. It is quite heavily cropped already. That's one of the challenges of this project is to get out of the comfort zone.

Nice action shot Stan
Well captured

Thanks, Dave. I think his batting has the edge over my camera work.
