Eye catching....is it a cheese grater or some structure against a blue sky?
Personally I would have cropped off the top to remove the dark blue corners and concentrate the eye more on the infocus area...but that's me

I really like kitchen utensil abstract shots, you have to work on the composition with care to achieve a satisfying image. The blown highlights on the colander detract from the image. On the positive side I think the dark area underneath with different intensities of light coming through the holes is very effective.

Thanks for that Ken; now for my five, not a running theme but five of my favourite subjects starting with Street Photography. This is from Saturday when I was at the Edinburgh Fringe, which is more street performance than pure street photography. However I snatched this 'moment' early in the day.
Who said I was bored?
I look forward to your comments, particularly on the various opinions about what is street photography and what is not.

David ,
this made me smile which has got to be a good thing on the day after the holidays. I particularly like the sneering masks above the lady.
Well spotted and framed. Glad you left it in colour.

Thank you for your comments Dave and Alan. I think when Ken launched this theme he hoped for more members to respond but thanks to those who have commented so far.
Perhaps the idea will catch in time.

Not sure about the subject here, not to my taste....
But I think that depth of field is a bit off. The leg at the front, the hand and the arm are in focus. The rest all seems a blur...perhaps it is the mud
Personally I would have gone for the hand or an abstract of the mudtones on the skin.

You're right Dave, depth of field was difficult here. I was using a 200mm lens, I wanted to be in close without getting covered in mud. Also they were writhing about a lot, not much consideration for photographers trying to keep track.
