Weekly Competition No. 18 "Shadows"
So many to choose from this time ! It was very hard to put them into order, I changed my mind several times. My notes here might fizzle out a little towards the end but I hope I've been fair to everyone's efforts. johnriley: a well-observed and well-executed picture. I like the way the bound...

Weekly Competition No. 18 "Shadows"
Well done JR And Well judged again Karma I like your judging style and to go too the trouble of editing some of the entries as you like to see them is a nice touch. I agree i should have cropped the grass out but i lost focus on the grass (foreground) and was more pre-occupied with what to do wit...

Weekly Competition No. 18 "Shadows"
Hi Lilly - I got a GX10 back in August and tried some IR work, but the exposures were in tens of seconds. Then I saw on here that the older bodies had much greater IR sensitivity, so I picked up a new GX1L plus both kit lenses for 229 quid just recently :) The last one (StCatherinesSteps) was do...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
One from a while back, and which had some help from Matt on the processing. If I win maybe we should split the prize? :-) DS & 16-45mm DA 1/8 @ f13 @ ISO400 Cokin IR filter, handheld.

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
Chris E A moody, dark image with excellent placement of all the various elements. Commended Daniel Bridge Quite the opposite to the feel of the previous shot. This is light and airy and is only slightly let down by the large bland area at bottom left. Otherwise a nicely done image. lenscape ...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
Absolutely brilliant pic Lily, and very well judged again, some cracking shots posted in this comp, chuffed to bits that I got a place at the table :D I know my image threw up a bit of a discussion, who's right? Who’s wrong? Nobody, it's an individual thing in my eyes. Here’s the two original...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
Here’s the two originals that I used in the composition, at the time I created it a while back it was just an exercise on how to use Photoshop. Now that you disassembled the image I can see better your composition. I can distinguish in the final merged image a double sun illumination. One fro...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
Now that you disassembled the image I can see better your composition. I can distinguish in the final merged image a double sun illumination. One from the background, where the sunbeam illuminates the sky and the clouds, and the second sun illumination that illuminates the tree from an estimated...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
I'm really not wanting to sound like sour grapes or anything but McBrian's picture seems like an example of what not to do with a composite. The shadows are all wrong. For the sun to be in that position, the tree and hillside would be in silhouette. i believe this point was made in another thread...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
In any case, you're completely wrong, it's not a composite at all, is it, Brian? Any fool can see that the sun is setting behind the hill, as shown, and there's a socking great multi-kilowatt floodlight, out of frame to the left, behind the camera. I expect Brian felt that the foreground neede...

Weekly Competition #19 The Monochrome Landscape
So I think it's wrong to criticise either Brian (for entering it) or John (for rewarding it) because the competition is in the latter category. You may not like it, but you don't have to enter it. I ask me what should be the art without the critique. A mere arrogant exhibition of “I did this”. Is...

Weekly Competition 21: 'something' on toast
hefty1: good lighting, interesting viewpoint. I would have liked the DOF to be a bit greater so the toast on the right had more in focus and maybe more contrast. clarky: good colour, sharp, but lighting a bit flat. might have been helped by a coloured plate? maybe a different angle would hav...

Weekly Competition 22 : RED
Ok here are the results. I am not an expert so any views are just my take on the picture. I hope I don't upset too many people. McBrian Lovely shot, beautifully composed and exposed. The texture and detail of the dress keeps my eyes wandering around the image. The stool itself adds to the c...

Weekly Competition No 23 : Light
Please remind me not to win this again, must be one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, remember I'm no expert at this. :-) AlfaFoxtrot: Very nice perspective of a lit Eiffel Tower, pushed a bit too far in processing for my liking although this may be due to the use of high iso in a small ...

Weekly Competition No.24 RECYCLED
Hefty1: A straight forward shot of items waiting recycling, I like the way its split in half but feel the lighting could have been adjusted for more atmosphere, bit soft also. Dirk1000: I found the lighting (flash?) very flat and kills what could have been a nice portrait, skin tone a bit orangey...
