Weekly Competition No.28 - "Watching the Watchers"
This was the first time I have judged any competition and I found it very hard indeed. Everyone, Your views are just as likely, if not more likely, to be as valid as mine, so please take a sack of salt with the criticisms. The only easy ones to make were about the more obvious technical issues. ...

Weekly Competition No.29 - "Paper, Scissors, Stone"
Okay, here we go. Just to note, when I set the theme, I wasn't necessarily expecting paper, scissors and stone in each picture. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but... Anyway, as I said before, many thanks for your varied and considered entries. Amilner: Well this definitely has all three...

Weekly Competition No.29 - "Paper, Scissors, Stone"
I had a lot of trouble deciding where I wanted the focus on my picture, no matter what I did it never felt right. Congratulations to Dirk1000 for his winning shot, hard to complete against that.

Weekly Competition No.29 - "Paper, Scissors, Stone"
I think it was right to have the focus on the 'Stainless Steel', but by revolving the composition slighty, you might have been able to get the rock in focus too. Just a thought. :? Dan

Weekly Competition No. 30 "One of My Best Photos"
Competition # 30 “One of My Best Photos”. This competence is a bit different than the previous ones, because the images presented here had passed across a rigorous selection done by the respective authors. Too much negative critique must not be expected here, but in counterpart a lot of praise co...

Weekly Competition No. 33: "My Town . . . . ."
Impatient lot :-) Please do not take offence, it's only for fun :-) Bob and his Pentax: Liked the vivid colours in this shot, pretty well noise free for a K10D iso400 long exposure, could have done with a bit of straightening IMO. Clarky: A building I never tier of looking at, maybe see i...

Weekly Competition No. 33: "My Town . . . . ."
This was my first proper play with the fishy and thought the perspective would be great! It's a leaning building, so reflections have to be there, it's what makes it unique around here! (Also, can you put filters on the fishy? Never used one yet!) To give you an idea of what it is like, found thi...

Weekly competition 34: Street furniture
Well this was about as easy as I thought it would be – ie damned hard work! The quality of the photographs was excellent and I am totally impressed by the colours. There’s one site I spend a lot of time on where every shot seems to be over saturated, over sharpened and mostly over done in one way or...

Weekly competition 34: Street furniture
Lilly - thanks for both explaining about teh possible sharpening and also that popping colour tip. Given teh texture of teh granite would you ever reduce sharpening from whatever you would 'normally' use? When feeling confident about an image (I nearly said lazy) I tend to use SilkyPix and work f...
