Post (here) your fave recent shot and say a few words about it. Why you like it, why you think it's cool. This one I am really happy with. A good blend of stacked in focus and lovely out of focus. Lush! Post yours. Do it now... and comment on previous submissions. journey to the end of tine journey to the end of tine by rob ashcroft @ www.macromeister.co.uk, on Flickr |

Gives new meaning to the word "pointillism".
I have no fave shots. I hate them all.
So please, anyone else want to have at it?

 This was taken a wee while ago, but still fairly recently. I was pretty happy with it by the time it had been run through PS, as it was taken in less than ideal conditions. We were in a friend's motorhome, having a wee tipple and the guy mentioned that he would like a really nice picture of Gem, the wee dog. She was 13 and had developed cancer and he wanted a memento for himself and his wife, who had terminal cancer. I shot her with the 70-300 in very dim light and this was one of the few shots that was sufficiently sharp to work up. Printed it up for them on A3 and they were delighted. I realise that on screen, this looks a bit oversharpened, but it was sharpened for print and prints up beautifully. Saddest two things though, the little dog had to be put down 3 weeks after this and the lovely lady who owned her died a week after that. So it is one of those very mixed feeling photos, but a favourite none-the-less. Ron, I am not surprised that this has done well. The composition is great, the sharpness is ace and the colour is beautiful. What lens are you shooting with? |

Which reminds us, I think, that a shot should be mostly about what it portrays or represents, rather than the jejune technical obsession that seems to fill most web photo-sites. |

I like the solitude of this scene. It was shot well before the sun cracked the horizon even though a tad of pink can already be seen. Perhaps it is the softness of the sand, water, clouds and sky or just the simplicity of the composition. Whatever, it makes me smile....and it printed quite beautifully.  |

The colours are very restful, and I like the different levels that the shot has. |

I agree...images that make us smile, or bring back memories of the moment are the best.
