Don, this image is really nice. I like it very much in fact. The focus seems pin sharp to me, I can see the lips the eye lids and the hair on the baby's forehead really nice and sharp. You managed to capture the tonality and full colours in order to enhance the image beautifully. I wouldn't play aro...

Kings walkway - Spain
Superb. I walked the Verdon Gorge in France a while back, and that's pretty dramatic. But this looks more so. The walkways were installed many years ago, and are not in the best condition. One day, one of them is going to go..... G

Red Arrows in Plymouth
Nice red Arrows were in Gibralter on the 17th I believe I was hoping to be there long enough to see them but got sent back to UK early :(

Jurassic Coast
I've gone back and had another look to see what it is that struck me about 2 and 4. I think it's the flash of green amongst the mostly deep blue sea. It's especially noticeable in number 4 with that green strip of sea running down to the bottom right corner, nicely in line with the contours of the c...

Two more from the Vivitar 2,8/28MM CF
Exploring its selective and close focus ability. And the out of focus rendering. I think I'll name her Viv, from now on.:D

Two more from the Vivitar 2,8/28MM CF
Hi Chris. is the lens. It comes in PK version and....very rare and hard to find, PKA version. Look for the text: Close Focus on the lens ring on front. It also has to be 49 MM filter size.

The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery
So the Royal Artillery is reduced to using sabres and pumpkins? These cuts in military spending have gone too far. Nice crisp shots, but you seem to have trouble keeping the subject in the frame. Might be worth being a bit further back, and cropping more. Or using a shorter lens, like the 18-...

Down in Dagenham Dock
Thanks, K10D. Mhuni, my intention was to keep the fencin' out of focus, I didn't want it vyin' too much with the containers. As a result, I don't have an image with the fencin' in focus. Dave, the container colours were blue, grey and yellow. I'll post a colour shot too, so you can see. Tha...

Down in Dagenham Dock
Thumb's up for that, Gareth. Cheers, Lance. Cheers, MZ. I have family that live in the Dagenham East area. I know Barking, Upney, Becontree and Dagenham Heathway well. In fact, I walked all the way down to Dagenham Dock via the Heathway, and back again. :) There are some colourful flats/ apart...

Down in Dagenham Dock
Sorry for coming back in late Paul but I've just seen your colour version. Thanks for posting it. Having seen both I prefer the black and white. If the containers had been bright jazzy colours it might have been a different result. david

test of Tamron 28-75
2nd one for me too. Much sharper focus, and nice isolation of the subject. Could probably crop it slightly so the bud isn't right in the centre though. Edit: should read before i write. Sorry for repeating what TonyM already said... :oops:

test of Tamron 28-75
You're probably right Lidy, it's partly a matter of taste as well as perceived sharpness. For me the sharp parts in number 1 are the front edges of the petals but the rest is behind the focus plane. Whereas in number 2 the whole closest pink petal and several parts of the green petals are in the foc...

test of Tamron 28-75
Think you have made a good effort and number 2 is a cracking shot although as others have said perhaps could be better composed or cropped. I take a lot of flower shots and have taken hundreds like your first shot, it is, as you say, a matter of taste however to focus too tight on a flower will ofte...

test of Tamron 28-75
Haha okay it must be my eyes! I guess the difference is pretty subtle, it's most visible on the subject's left eye if you move your mouse back and forth quite quickly. Perhaps it's just me and I've looked at the original out of focus image for so long I'm imagining things! I'll crawl back into my ho...

Trying PSE7
I used the "magnetic lasso" tool to define the coloured area them took all of the saturation out of the background. Ahhh, so that's how you missed the grassy bits through the back windows! You may be interested in this video, which shows you how to make dead accurate selections using the pen tool...

Trying PSE7
Take three - I have had a go at lightening the shadow on the door and taken the saturation out of the back windows. I am not very happy with the border between the light and shadow on the door and am going to look into dodge and burn when I get a bit more time. I straightened the picture ...

Pentax Bellows
I've never understood what bellows are or what they do. Can anybody explain in layman's terms, please? And is it a bellows or just (the) bellows? Very simply, it's an infinitely adjustable extension tube, mostly (if not always) used for macro work. Some also include a slide copying attachment. It...

YooHoo Rain Today
Sounds like a very good reason to me! I lived in the south of France for a while (end seventies); shouldn't have come back - life is so different there. Anyway, you probably appreciate a bit of rain now:mrgreen:, so enjoy!
