Seaside Holiday
Here is a comment from someone who viewed your post earlier but didn't have time to comment until now! It has to be the last one for me. Very moody although some of the detail is lost in the bottom half of the shot. Maybe playing about with levels etc. will pull out some contrast in the foregroun...

It's easy to criticise & I know myself that you have to be in the mood to think about composition & put the effort in at the time to get the image exactly how you picture it in your head. Bob Criticism is fine, it's how I learn. :wink: To be honest, and maybe this is where I go wrong, I don't ...

Seaside Holiday
When out and about I am often with my tolerant wife who will say 'that would make a good photograph' and frequently I'll say but the light's no good it will end up being mush. This doesn't always go down too well so I sometimes just take something and move on. Returning later is a good plan that ...

Help with sharpness please
Personally I'd use a far smaller aperture, more like f22 for a subject this close and with this much depth to it. The second thing is where to focus, and that would be about a third of the way into the depth that you want to be in focus. I feel there's too much out of focus here, especially wi...

Help with sharpness please
The subject is beautiful, but IMHO the unsharp foreground somewhat destroys the impression. To my eye, the focus point is at the rearmost petal. I think it should have been more at the front, or centered. Why not try f/16 or even higher to get a wider DOF? Edit: John beat me to it, and with...

Help with sharpness please
Thank you both, I was surprised how narrow the DOF was, I choose f5 because I did not want the kitchen cupboards in focus (not pretty) The dark shadow is a part of the bloom that is dark green, however I will try again with a smaller aperture and if I have to use a small lamp so be it. Would take i...

Help with sharpness please
Bear in mind that there is one more important factor (two really - focal length as well) when estimating how wide DOF will be - distance from the subject, based on the first example, with 45cm from the object even changing to f/22 will not help much using 105mm lens (means DOF still will be too shal...

Brian Haw, A Portrait
I enjoy your portraits and your B&W conversion shots and I think this one is another well interpreted shot. Your focus on the badges tells a poignant story more so than concentrating specifically on the man. Did you consider PP on the background to black as I think this gives added focus on the ba...

Another Face from the Street
At the risk of hijacking Paul's thread, I was talking to an anaesthitist doctor friend and she told me that they wont give pregnant women an epidural if they have a tattoo on the small of their back because of the risk of introducing ink into the spinal fluid.

This is our granddaughter, I went back to Scotland for three days to bring her back to Spain, my wife took her back after her holiday, I took a few photos of her and I think this is the best one, I smoothed out all her blemishes, let me know what you think of the photo, she will be checking out your...

Jack, a nice shot. Interestingly, I thought at first you had overdone it with the clarity slider, given your comments, as I do feel, like Paul, that the skin texture has gone somewhat. The thing I'm not so keen on is the tight composition. If you had moved back a tad then the whole of her head wo...
