Fixing the Roof
by GinaRothfels

Comment by streetpigeon:
Fine study of these roof tilers as work. The effective white framing enhances the overall diagonal subject. It's simple amidst a certain amount of complexity. I especially admire how it's the dust thrown up by the tile cutter that conveys the backlighting. Another fun detail is how the hat worn by the man on the left echoes the pattern of the tiling. Strong documentary style.
Another personal favorite of the challenge.

This is a very fine gingerbread house - I haven't baked one for many years. I think I may have to this Christmas.

Has an animated, Claymation look, but I do believe they're friends, in a scripted kind of way.

This is real. No extended editing. I tried creating a composite but didn't like the result.

and 'some' say its not about the equipment ...
just seeing the difference between your new years resolution and this extended free study .. makes it so obvious that you were hindered in your ability to capture the shots you visualized by the equipment you were using ..
having said that .
some ppl have the most amazing equipment but still take photos that arent that good ..
but if you have a talent .. which you obviously have .. it can be a wonderful experience to get a camera that performs to your creativity .. its like a whole new world opens up ..
thats what happened for me when i got my first macro lens ...
i'm so glad i happened to see your thread its all about the camera and the lens ..
