Zooming in foing from the blue diagonal to the tree trunks, there's yet another level of intriguing detail visible of the branches if you care to look. Nice.

Week 5 - Textures

Interesting choice t go for f/25 and 1" exposure. You would expect to see quite a bit of diffraction at this aperture, and at 1" you tripod had better be a sturdy one. I also don't see why you would need the larger DoF, especially in a case like this where you could have the subject perfectly in the plane of focus.
The result is a good picture, maybe with too harsh shadows for my liking (as soon as you invite people to comment you are bound to get conflicting responses all the time!), but a nice contrast between the softness of the feather (hardened by the contrast) and the hardness of the broken shells (?).

Nice little critters. Well captured. They've spotted you, and no doubt that they'll run off quickly.

I'm with Kroburg on this one. The cannon here looks black, in the B&W version it is a cowardly grey. And teh cannon acrries the shot, plus the people next to the house and stairs. The other people behind the cannon are all a dsitractor, in particular the 20th century citizens.
But overall a nice shot.

Inspiring shot that once again confirms how nice a high key portrait can be.

Just have a sniff, right boss? (4/52)

There's Hoover again. Total concentration on the hint of a smell, nose to tail.
Also fun to read how his servant likes to picture himself as "boss" ;-)

You're a pro, and it shows. I for one would have messed up the lighting on het glasses, and be left with a horrible shadow on her right cheek. But you get it all sorted out, and can conentrate on her expression and the right moment. Good job.

Great textbook example of a hairlight, and how that nicely separates the subject from the background. Like the leading lines, nicely fitting the subject(s).

The best shot by far. The piercing eyes work well. I like this shot a lot, but the shadow is a deal breaker. It makkes her head look dis-attached from her body. Very photogenic model with great potential. Love to see more!
