WINNERS: PROJECT 52-6-24-SHAPES-Circles, spheres and round shapes
Posted By: mtux, 08-04-2014, 06:28 AM

Thanks everybody for your participation, Tess left the judgment to me for this week, So here we goes around our entries.

scomatic, Wow, That's an exceptional shot, really professional, being a little familiar with the Mooncake festival, I think it's a very good poster for it. cakes and the tea pot are really welcoming and those yellow flowers framing all this are the perfect touch. The only think my mind need out of it is a little rotation counter clockwise. there are some strong vertical lines which need a little rotation to make them strait.

OK, I have to pass over my own shot

Tessfully, What a nice looking fruits, I haven't seen them before, I guess they should taste sour, correct? I like your interpretation of the theme, they separated from the background nicely. and the touch of web is interesting.

robjmitchell, Fantastic subject for a black and white conversion, and a nice conversion. the idea of using a wide aperture was a good one, and there's plenty of background to know where it was. Having so many different interpretation of the theme is really interesting.

noelcmn, Those balls seem like brothers standing together. I like their reflection and the contrast between red balls and blue water is intriguing.

jmschrei, I think it's a long time since the last time I've seen apples on the tree. really nice patch of fruits. And your point of view made the shot for me.

jcdoss, That's a fantastic capture, it's perfectly aligned and it's one of those 2D looking shots which feels very nice as being a 2D interpretation of a 3D scene. and the symmetry is awesome.

patrick9, Good for you to be able to clean up old lenses. I guess adding some screwdriver or tools like that into frame could make it a nice representation of a work that's been done here. And I found that yellow thing to be little distraction to main subject.

boozary, Nice, soft flower is always interesting, and the PoV and your framing woks pretty well here. this is one of rare times I think placing the subject at dead center really make it more prominent. However an square crop could make it even more interesting. I guess it needs a little more love in PP.

Thanks everybody, I enjoyed participating with all you here. I really like this challenge.

Our winner and this week's judge is jcdoss


The second place will goes to robjmitchell, and boozary deserves to be mentioned as third place.

Scomatic, regrettably, you are not able to enter the next challenge, seeing that you will be the judge. That will teach you to post winning photos here . I see you have already posted an entry to the next Project 52 challenge- We will leave it there as an example, so please do not remove it!

That's unbelievable. but it seems celticboy is right. :/

I guess, This photo should been disqualified and I should update winners list. correct Noel?

And I suggest we add a (soft?) rule to ask people to keep the EXIF data of posted photos intact.
