My photo for the day

Reflections

and one other

Red Door and Grille

Very nice pair! And each one alone too. Great shots!
1st reminds me of a puddle shot in the Peterson 'creatively' book.

Hi Steve - I really like your photo of the day series. Great idea, I look forward to them each day (sad but true!).

#1 gets it for me. The apparent texture difference between the water, the background gravel/tarmac, and the criss-cross metal grid reflection is very nice.

#2 doesn't please my eye so much for some reason. Not sure why...

[allymac123]

I prefer #1 - much moodier and I love the contrast of texture's.

I find the writing in #2 a bit distracting - still trying to decide what it says!!
I'll blame the Chav's for that though and not you!!

I agree about the graffiti, a nice smooth finish to the door would have made the shot IMO. I might go back tomorrow and try a different door.........mind you, it is a Saturday so it might be a bit busier........I got enough funny looks today when I was photographing some steps that ran up the side of the building, no good because of the sky contrast but a re-visit is a definite for that shot

Thanks for the comments

First is great. I'd be happy to look at that for ages.

It always inspires me how you can make the mundane look interesting. Excellent work mate!

Thanks all. I must admit to being a bit confused about the apparent depth of field in the first. It was shot at f/5 but the depth seems to be quite near the top of the image and the lower half looks more OOF than I thought it would.

Great stuff Steve. Both really great shots, but I'm particularly impressed with the composition in no. 2

Really like the first - the uniform lines fighting with the random nature of the puddle as well as the whole dark v light thing going on.

Wouls have made a nice comp entry

Does anybody else see the victorian lady pulling a 3 wheel cart full of frozen chikens?

Now you come to mention it, yes I do. Although going by their size, I'd reckon on them being turkeys.

That reflections is excellent. Steve you have composition RIGHT DOWN.

Never even considered it as a comp entry........too late now anyway.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have two photos in mind for today but whether I will get them is another thing entirely!
