Fence Detail, Day 12

Wow, 2 days after the 'ladder of death' I cant wait to see what you are going to produce for the vanishing point competition. I love the dof here, which works really well with the lighting and the strong leading line. Also its clever how you have broken the rule of thirds as the eye is drawn straight to the centre of the shot and the very tightly focussed fence post. The black blob in the background is a tad disconcerting and I wonder what it would have looked like with this dodged out but this is a simple yet very appealing shot

I love the POV on this, again you have really capture the feeling of height. Almost feels like with a bit of cropping it could have been an entry for the vanishing point competition.

Shoot what a great church and image. Some top PP going on there. love the contrast against the sky tht gives the church a real imposing (and possibly doom laden) air about it

Almost tempted to suggest it could be cropped a bit tighter to lose the telegraph pole on the left and the small building on the right, but this might actually detract from the overall effect as given that these are both relatively small keeping them in heightens the impression that this church dominates everything

Yup like this a lot without the offending lady in it (who had a very scary expression on her face)

Love slice of life shot. Lots going on but it doesnt feel too crowded meaning you can appreciate the whole image and then various bits of it

As has been said, hats of for taking this candid photo in such a public place

OK...OK, so great minds think alike as we both posted cow pics, but there the similarity ends...Your cow is mightily more impressive than mine and so is your finished product

Love the contrast between the black of the cows upper body, the white band and the darkness of its legs, great dof on this as well. Only slight thing is there seems to be something going on with its eyes and there are two white spots in them (the one on the right my just be an optical illusion and the spot may infact be a minute piece of white on its flank that is showing. Not sure about the one on the left though

Ok well I will confess that when I looked at this I thought...Ok thats an unusual shot, nice but maybe not quite up to your normal level. Then I read how you had taken it and I realised

a - what a great job it was in the circumstances
b - what a fantsatic eye you must have if you can pick up something like as an interesting image this whilst doing something else

One of the greatest things about your entries in this challenge is that I never know what I am going to see when I enlarge your thumbnails as every shot is so different and every day there seems to be something that I can just sigh over. Today I have to say it is the way you have captured the sunlight through the trees. Excellent contrast which makes for a gorgeous shot

I really like this image. Very different from the norm. The dof contrast, composition and tones make for a wonderful shot

Great shot of your friend. If anyone asked me to illustrate what love looked like then this would be a pretty damned fine illustration

You could argue that the focus on her could be a touch tighter, but to be honest the way it is captures an intimacy that you would lose if your spent too long getting them to pose

Oh my word. Your images in this challenge just seem to be getting better and better. I love this shot. the dof is perfect and the contrast between the sand , the plant and the (beautiful) sky is outstanding

Without question my favourite of your entries to date.

Even in B&W you can feel warmth radiating from this shot

Just wonderful
