January Voting Thread - Macro

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Vote for as many as you like and you have seven days to do so.

[Amnorrageordie]

No entry from me this month, been ill and have nowt in the way of macro lenses. Searoad and Steeed get the thumbs up with a vote each.

[TiredEyes]

Searoad - Lovely shaped droplet, just missed out on a vote.

clockstand pie chucka - Needed to be much closer for me, nice idea though.

taipeisafc - Does nothing for me.

tom tom macute - Nice texture, would like to see it closer.

Hue Jorgan - Doesn't hold me interest.

MalmoMakem - Doesn't hold my interest.

smoker - Doesn't hold my interest.

Elliot - Pretty standard droplet shot imo, like a stock photo.

peachbum - Out of focus, doesn't meet theme imo.

Steeeeed - I like this, reminds me of a Joy Division LP cover - VOTE.

MaDMaCKeM - Interesting but I can't tell what it is and there's no perspective reference.

wor kid telt me - Sorry but that is poor.

robcal - Lovely colours, interesting detail, I was expecting more flower shots this month - VOTE.

Ghost of EH7 - The big blurry area needs to be smaller imo, too much of nothing and subject doesn't hold my interest at all.

I agree the focusing was out - fair shout. But not meet the theme? It was macro; that is a macro shot.

Ahhh right, that solves the mystery

It was an attempt at a macro shot but being out of focus you failed to achieve it IMO.

Still in a huff after the negative space competition I see

[tom tom macute]

Searoad and Steeeed for me.

Both fit the challenge theme, and good sharp close up macro shots.

Should have waited for an animal portrait challenge to take mine.

[Elliott]

how do you see who's voted for who? Normally after i voted i can see who voted for the lead photo, the box is larger with the names listed?

Clicked onto the previous voting threads and this is not the case anymore, am i missing something simple?

My vote was for Steeeeed this month, met the theme the best and was well executed, nearly voted for tom tom as well but didn't think it met the theme as well (despite this being my fav photo this month!)

[robcal]

My take on this:

searoad - love the velvety finish of the water. Really nice shot and I hope to attempt to follow your instructions to try my own.

tom tom macute - I really like the expression of the little fella and the depth of the photo.

smoker - I like it! Although it's probably not the most exciting subjects, I really liked the contrast between the light reflecting and the shadow on the statue

elliott - I like the ripples and love the colour, but is it only me who is a little bit put off by the copyrighting? I know it probably sounds ridiculous, but it completely detracts from the image for me.

peachy - wtf?

steeeed - Love the texture and the soft colouration. Very foresty, and I really like the composition (off centre, bit of the stalk, the outer skin and the gills).


I would have voted for Steeed and Searoad. However, I actually thought that I liked Hue Jorgan's shot so much more than any of the others that it's the only one I'm voting for this week. I loved the texture of the wood and funnily enough found the subject quite interesting. I was slightly put off by the frame though!
