Well done Mark on a great win, it got my vote and I thought it was bang on theme, great to see an entry from you this week and what a cracker to.
Thank you as well for taking the time and trouble to crit all the pictures it really is appreciated, for the record mine was of a shoe and the idea was the lace being the small thing that keeps the shoe on your feet I don't think I quite achieved what I was trying to put across but hey it was fun and I now know how to photograph a walking shoe well at least I think so
Ianpinion liked it as he voted for me thank's Ian
I did an alternative bit of processing on my pic which I will post if I get time, really nice effect which realy brings out the texture.
Up - ogrist - Fallen Angel
Very festive idea and what a cute little angel, guess it is the small thing that completes the christmas tress, nice lighting and detail think though a cleaner plain back ground would have lifted the subject more.
Down - SieSmith - Pixels make pictures
Great idea, really nicely executed and bang on theme TBH it hurt my eyes if I looked at it to long though ouch
I have to say I agree with Mark regarding DD and Kerbside. Kerbside it is a great shot, dead sharp and loads of detail you have done really well lately in the monthly comp and weekly comp one day I hope to achieve that. DD I think the standard of your entries has really improved, the fuse shot was no exception, I agree with Mark about the hair (I noticed it) there is a spot healing tool in Photoshop Elements that woul have sorted that out quickly and easily for you (have a play). Also remember Mark had a hair on his golf ball shot a few months back
Looking forward to the next challenge Mark
