TJ01's card has also made it to Canada, well done. Yes, of course I like it, I think I can imagine the back story and the perspective is great. Thanks very much.
If my check marks are correct there are 4 cards still outstanding from this round (25). Maybe the post office decided they were so nice and they kept them - maybe not. Remember it's never too late to send out a card, get them out now and you'll be off the naughty list time for round 27!
I too have received tj01's card, you've captured the scene very well, it is as if I am standing there myself, standing next to Oxleyroad. Lovely shot, thanks!
TJOI – Monks making/taking offering. A nice composition.
There is good use of a non infinite depth of field here to draw you eye in to the figures in the foreground, but acknowledge the line of people in the proceeding.
The print might be a wee bit lacking in the contrast for my tastes, but I do not know what kind of contrast range you have to work with in the negative. The mid tones are well depicted.
Thanks for replies on the postcard.
Mike Wilde,
It was taken at 5.30am in the morning. I might try on filter 3, rather than 2. But I wanted to keep the whites on the foreground lady's hair to be a little off white. Might try filter 3.
Since my last comment I received two further cards:
Black Dog - "Rocks and Water" - This is the second card I’ve received from Jake in this exchange. I’m not sure why I am this lucky, but I am grateful. It is an intriguing and slightly confusing colour print, with an almost unworldly set of colours tj01 - "Luang Prabang, Laos" - an interesting image of an exotic scene.
Thanks all. I’ve received in total 28 cards and look forward to receiving the remaining two (Jon King, jackie_like_the_chan).
Thanks! Although the round number is wrong. I was so much in a hurry to get the cards to mailbox that I forgot to change the round number from 25 to 26...
