Rusty n' Crusty

Lovely detail, nice to include the brand badge across the image to contrast with the colours and textures of the rust and to provide extra interest/ focal point.

Great textures! Strong, warm lighting and it's resulting shadows really show off the shapes. Nice.

The Crown

Lovely and so unusual to see such a tight crop and such muted colours for a Christmas decoration image. I really love the composition with the two halves and sweeping curves as well as the contrast between smooth out-of-focus ball, knobbly metal top, and the different sized "bokeh balls" (for want of a better term!). It's all just lovely!

Great contrast between both colour and texture of foreground and background.

Lady on the Rough

Such a simple image (in terms of number of elements), and yet so surreal and striking! I love the composition, with the diagonal line and the ladybird positioned just so. The shallow DOF works so well too. Nice!

Lovely contrast of colours and textures, really beautiful detail.

Involucre

Stunningly beautiful (is this by Dax?), I really love the combination of sharp detail together with lots of smooth, out-of-focus areas and a nice graininess too. And lighting is lovely, so subtle, so perfect.

Saxophone in the dark

Great choice of subject - a lot of lovely and varying textures really shown off well by your lighting. I love the composition - that's inspired, as well as the bokeh of the reflected light points emphasises the shinier textures of the less worn bits of the sax. All good!

Prickly!

Beautiful DOF and amazing composition. Almost abstract and yet still so organic. Lovely contrast between the smooth, shiny, maroon spikes and the mottled, green leaf.

Feather Detail
by JeniY

Comment:
The high contrast black and white approach really emphasises the texture and details of the form of a feather. I like your composition too with the diagonal line of the central shaft sweeping across the corner.
