Excellent images. As previous comments, #2 is worthy of a well deserved pat on the back. Regards

some more New Years Day
Frozen sea! Now thats what I call weather! I understand what you mean about the colour-balance and the focus. I wasn't sure if the crop was an improvement, just an attemt.

Murky day
Thanks for the comments guys; The star was an excuse to have the red light out of focus so I am happy if your eye slides away to that area. Not sure about losing that single red circle - I think I'll try that and see how it goes. I wish I could have had some life in the water droplets but i...

Robin Cropping!
Good capture! I am torn... I actually like the original full frame picture; maybe because the point of focus is just right, the blurring each side draws attention to the Robin. On that basis I think the first crop works similarly. Regards Mat

Number two. I like the out of focus front and back with the Robin in the middle.

Robin Cropping!
Thanks for all the positive comments guys, and the laugh! Think Alan is right though, it is one I will keep coming back too and still won't make my mind up! The -0.7EV was dialled in for a previous shot with a lot of reflections in it, didn't get chance to change it though, as I would have mis...

Just Playing
I have no good result... Maybe working with the small pic, but it went even more soft :( totally out of focus :( But I think the contrast is on the way to be better. BTW, I think cropping work is the better part of the pic. I usually try to get the pic into better colors or tones and only the...

Thanks for the comments guys, this was a jpeg and I think shot with the K20D set to "bright", I dont particularly like the setting so I've reverted back to "natural" I believe I actually reduced the saturation during processing, maybe I should drop it a little more or stop being lazy and play around...

Gold Mining Relics...
Perhaps it's a validation thing? Maybe if you log on to to pbase then your account is 'active' so the images are visible and if you're not they're not? Can't see how that would work but try logging onto the pbase account and the switch to the forum and refresh? Mike, great thought for eliminating po...

Icicles in Durham today
Thanks for all your comments. The blue in No. 3 is less pronounced because of the angle at which I took the picture, I was looking more towards the sun so the intensity of the blue decreased. The blue in the other pictures, other than Aiki's modification, was natural with no extra saturation added....

I went shooting more icicles on my conservatory roof today (Wednesday) and here's one of them. K10+A series 50mm 1.7 manual focus lens. David

Icicles in Durham today
Hi David, sorry for crashing in on your thread but I happened to take a couple of snaps of icicles today which were hanging outside my back door. They are nowhere near as good as yours (which are fab by the way), but I like to get feedback anyway. Both were taken using a Tamron 70-300mm...

Icicles in Durham today
I considered increasing the saturation of the laat shot but held back because I wanted it to look light and airy and not overdone. I'm soemtimes accused by camera club friends of overdoing the saturation. But I might have another play with it to see how it looks. As for how far was I away from the s...

I like the colors of nr 1, Lennardinio !!! Much better than the blue. But the lower top of the icicle is not in focus, and this is pity.

Yes, I know the focus issue is a shame. I took them hand held and with the sun setting there was not enough light to use a much higher aperture. I may try again tomorrow. Glad you both like number 1, that is may favourite too. Thanks Andrew

I have a new fav as well :) BW lets the sparkle to be more visible. I guess I overdid with the blue, because I was missing the sparkle. It needs to be perfect focus too.

Seagull on the beach
Lovely. The pinpricks of reflected light in the in-focus section of sand look great.

What a fantastic image Kris, the more you look the more there is to see. I keep coming back to have a look :D

Cockatoo
The sharpness of the eye is better in the 3rd and 4th, I presume just because you pulled back from 300 a bit for those. But nevertheless it's the first one for me too. The 2nd one is almost as good but the green seems a bit overdone in that one (slight green tint on the edge of the bird's yellow plu...

New type of snow flower
Colin, I thought that C&C might be facilitated if I had a dabble with your image - I hope you don't mind! Not sure what software you use for your images - what I have done is with Lightroom 3 beta. My aim was to give the image a bit of a lift, and a bit more life / zing etc. Essentially, wh...
