Well done Del and Paul – and what a tough subject for the next challenge.
Above: angii – Bruce – Three Wise People and a Child:
Moody and copper coloured, but to be honest it doesn't do anything for me. A pleasing record shot possibly, but no wow factor - rather like my poor effort in that regard
Below: michael104b – Bauble:
Can't get much more christmassy than this. The bokeh (lorks I hate that word) is pleasing as is the subject. This doesn't quite work as I feel that it could do with being somewhat lighter overall and the centre of focus should match the centre of the lighting – as it stands the focus is on the part of the bauble in shadow and the part in the light is already slipping out of sharpness.
