I like the way the pawn hides the blue tack ... only joking.

It's good to see more eggy fun, you're good at this. :D

Sticky sided Velcro pads work much better. ;)

Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it. :)
 
My original idea for this week just didn't pan out, so a lazy option was called for.
Feather from the garden and a large tray of water.

A Feather Boater ;)
We wouldn't know it was a tray of water if you hadn't old us. Nicely done.

Thanks Tim. :)
A few tiny drops of food colouring maaay have been involved too...and shows just a tad in the bottom of the feather.

Good idea Ruth, I think it would take a nip off the top, excellent choice of colour it emphasises the Serene look :)

Thanks Susie.
It's a bit (lot) tight on the bottom so I thought I'd leave a tad more at the top. :)
 
Wot no eggs? :p

Simple but effective Ruth :)
 
Dark Knight said:
Works well Ruth, you have mentioned the bottom so wont, well I guess I have :D - Anyway, very effective you would never guess it was in a tray (y)

Well, it came from an egg originally. :D
Thanks for looking, Chris. :)
 
Very well conceived and constructed Ruth. The top left of the feather looks almost frost-like to me.

Thank you Carl.... It's definitely not the shot I planned.
 
Week 35 - Black and White.

My first idea was to take a picture of the words written on paper, and edit half of the shot in negative, which I did here, but then figured I look like it had been entirely done without taking a shot (though the exif is intact), so I then decided to d the 2nd image too.

So this week, 2 for the price of 1 :)



 
According to a Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder thats actually Ebony and Ivory :D

Nice simple interpretation Ruth (y)
 
See what you mean about the first shot it doesn't look like a photo, I do like that very clean keyboard though (y)
 
Good thinking Ruth. First shot is interesting but like your second shot best mainly because of the lines and angles created by that slightly off kilter take.
 
Keyboard's a great idea, quirky angle (y)

But is it just me ... Blown highlights?

Many thanks Allan. :)
I don't clean it, it's a neighbour's piano.

A bit dizzying, isn't it?
Thanks Carl. :)

I've had a close look, and there's nothing blown on the full res image.
Always appreciate your crit though David, good or bad. :)

Hi, 1st one...is it a photograph?? :)

Nice angle in #2 and detail.

Cheers.

Hiya Andy
Yep, the first is a photograph :)
But the fact that it looks like a graphic is why I included the second. :)
Thanks for looking.

LC2 said:
Very nice Ruth, I agree the first does have the look of graphics rather than a photo, but that's cleverly done.
I like the piano, but actually I prefer #1

Thanks for commenting. :)
I might take another shot at the first to try and get some depth in there.
 
Dark Knight said:
Hmmmm liking both of them Ruth, agree that the text image at first glance does not look like a photo, although it is very effective... The piano image works really well (ignoring the lh crop and dust spot :D), unusual angle adds a nice dimension too, like it (y)

Thanks for your comment Dean.
The dust definitely needs dealing with.
The crop? Each to their own :LOL:

Thank you.

But there's no such thing as bad crit surely.
 
viv1969 said:
You're right.
Positive or negative?
Click to expand...

Positive or negative crit is better than no crit at all.

My blown highlights "crit" was worded as a question. It seems the answer is no. ;)

I'm being a tad fussy aint i :)

Yeah that is just me, seeing that tiny smidgen of white key bottom left, my OCD would want that 2mm cropped off :D
 
1st one is a good idea but like you say it doesn't look like a photo....your writing is obviously too neat, you would never mistake my scrawling for type :)

Liking the nice reflective whites on the keyboard and the choice of angle.

Aye, but then you'd obsess about the key on the right being too close to the edge. :D;)
