Nice point of view! I also like the noise in the picture, that fit well with the black and white. The sharpness is good too, but maybe it would had more impact if the focus was on the really top of the shovel.

Maria this certainly fits with Helen's outline.
Great use of B&W for this,
Like your choice of focal point part way down.

I like this. An interesting POV and a unique way of seeing such an everyday tool.

Superb! you got the right idea here with this spade, I wanted to test the DOF chosen on this style of image and you have set this shot up perfectly. nice choice on B.W. conversion too.

TFS and for joining in the theme

Felicidades por tu image Maria Jose, la composicion muy buena y lo del enfoque a la textura del metal intermedio y no al mango de esta arriba me parece acertado. Un saludo :)

Hi Maria,
I love this one...a council worker's elbow's view of his shovel;)
The depth of focus gives a real 3D effect, well done.
