She sells sea shells...

Another shot from Wells on Wednesday. Nigel is too central for my liking. I tried giving him direction but you just can't get the staff.

[Alison Tomlin]

Yep definitely needs to be further to the left... Does add a nice bit of moody stranger to the shot though.

[Jennifer Ruge]

Very nice! I like the POV and focus on the shell. it makes the shell seem bigger than it really is.

[Jenn]

Lovely line of focus Judith!! Great textures and pov

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast I know - he just kept turning sideways - drove me mad!

[Hazel]

I like the focus on the shell, too and the grainy 'bits' of beach in the foreground. I'm not too sure it would be that easy to 're-position' Nigel and keep the focus on the shell?!

[Jo]

Wonderful shot! Great stuff

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg Oh U-turning. He'll be voting Lib Dem next...

[Humphrey Hippo]

Perhaps you can take him back to the shop & get a new one? ;)
Love the DoF and focus. Still works really well.

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast That'll be the day - his granddad will rise from the grave and remove the voting pencil from his sticky fingers.

[Judith Greenwood]

@humphreyhippo Trade in value pretty poor....

[Judith Greenwood]

@quietpurplehaze Just a little further left would do it!

[peter/zipp]

! Great stuff

[Rashella]

I think it all works very well

[Rosie Kind]

Lovely shot - I like Wells. When we go to Norfolk we usually eat in the Crown at Wells and stay with friends in Burnham Overy Staithe. We also have friends who live in Burnham Market and it's always nice to have a walk in Holkham Woods

[Joanna Payne]

I love the focus and the way it makes the blues of his clothes blend.

[Maggiemae]

You obviously had a picture in mind! We do - we are not just taking snaps! It's a great shot with interesting focus!

[Mike]

But 'Nigel' is a bloke... Clearly he sold the sea shell...and dropped it on the sea shore...

[Barbara Paquette]

Of course rather than firing poor Nigel, you could just crop your pic.

[Pat Knowles]

Yes I agree he could be further over but you can't keep shouting can you! I love his stick legs...poor Nigel he won't ever pose again!!! Lovely crab focus & altogether a cracking photo!

[Phil Howcroft]

great DOF judith...you could have 'cloned' Nigel in post processing and moved him further to the left or right ...but I'm not clever to do that in post processing..so i shouldn't be advising you too either.......and well...cloning your husband .........I'm sure 'one nigel is enough' :)

[Mindy Cowap]

Love it, great perspective

[Jane Pittenger]

Love the angle you took this from. Agree re Nigel's position being too centered...these guys we can't boss around!

[Judith Johnson]

I suppose you could always have moved the camera??? - or perhaps the snail?

[Jen E]

Love the focus!

[Terry]

LOL,,, still a good shot.

[tsingtao]

You should have given him a glass of....!!! amazing what you can do after one of those....

[John]

You need to borrow me, Em says I am very patient, well most of the time :D
Or you could have moved the shell and camera :P

[Janna E.]

Your caption made me smile - giving directions about photography to my husband almost never works. I still like the perspective and dof here!

[MonicaE]

Still a great photo.
