Poseidons Nuts
This has element I find interesting although I would have preferred that the main focus was on the foreground nuts rather than the back set, cropped a little tighter loosing some of the background rocks and taken just a little lower so that the nuts & assorted hangers on became more dominant in the ...

Critique Thread No. 1
The idea of this thread is for someone (in this case me) to post an image for discussion. The poster should explain what they thought they were trying to achieve and why, along with any pertinent technical details. Anyone who wishes can then comment on the image saying what they like and why, what...

Critique Thread No. 1
I liked the colour of the (birch?) in the window and although I think the rest of the picture looks quite mono anyway I wanted to see if I could bring out both the colour and monotone elements of the picture. I had a go at the RAW image, masked off the orangish tree trunk and the view through ...

I just came back to delete the post actually but it had better stay now. Square crop has a certain something and the original seemed to have a lot of redundant edge. Mike

Pentax X70
I sold my Pentax X70 to my wife's mate who has just come back from her World cruse, here are 3 photos she had taken that I thought were ok, there are lots more, you might recognize someone in the 3rd photo, Jack.

Walk the world
Thanks for the feedback chaps. Gareth it was the DA17-70, so only f4 (the only thing I don't really like about this lens). I think WFP probably prefer people in focus. I know what you mean though, and from a purely aesthetic point of view you're right. You're probably right about the crops too (c...

Service Station Llanrug
I think as you found this spot Andrew it's down to you to go back and wring some good shots out of it?

Cwm Idwal
Agree with Gareth, Colour is better, on this, than B&W. But.. I find the presence of the gate in the frame doesn't work. No sooner has the wall started to do its job of leading the eye into the (lovely colours of) the scene but the open gate drags it back, & there it gets stuck! Crop? Th...

Roman Festival in Chester
Both portraits are improved, imho. Great expressions, and the right choice between colour and b/w. The background in the second portrait I find a little disturbing (too busy). Could have been thrown more out of focus me thinks.

Goldfields
Nice set, i-Berg. Surely a place in decay. Exposure and focus spot on. We have a brand called Regal in Norway, may be a descedent :wink:. The (almost) duo-tone from Main Street appeals. (At least it has a decent Yale lock). I like the dreamy impression of the last one.

Wasp - Mexican stand off
I prefer No 2. The black surface complements the black parts of the wasp, and there's more of it in focus as it's side-on. You're game Mike!

A few from the Lake District
Thanks for the feedback/comments although the ones commenting on shot 4 as "not right" are a bit strange, it's pretty much as shot with virtually no PP. 2 & 3 needed some hefty processing to "rescue" them due to the haze at 3000ft, my PP skills are a bit limited which probably accounts for the c...

my countryside
Thousands of pictures, but not digital unfortunately (my trip was in 1998!). Also I was a pretty crappy photographer back then, so the only good shots were mostly by accident :D A few years ago I scanned a few dozen on a really low budget scanner, here is one of a Mentawai tribesman in Siberut. His ...

Parc Glynllifon
The Manor House at Glynllifon dates back to the 18th century, and was the home for Lord Newborough. It's now in private ownership and is open for civic events. There are acres of beautiful gardens, which includes flowers and trees from all over the world. Whilst walking around I found it hard to...

4th one for me, I like the bands of colour and focus.

Kielder at 24mm
I bought an "as new" MF Sigma 24mm f2.8 Super-wide II a month or so back and took it with me on holiday to Kielder Campsite in Northumberland at the end of May. I decided that, for the whole holiday, I would use nothing else and so it stayed on my K200D for about 10 days. These are a few of the...

I bought an "as new" MF Sigma 24mm f2.8 Super-wide II a month or so back and took it with me on holiday to Kielder Campsite in Northumberland at the end of May.......... I don't know whether you've seen Kielder Skyspace (rather pretentious name for a building with a hole in the roof). Ins...

Kielder at 24mm
A lens I'm looking for, at the right price. A most useful length. No wonder you managed with that alone for ten days. It's something I'm often tempted to do... Back to the pictures. The study of the tree has the most potential but the light was very "English": great for portraits; lousy for punch...

I really like this image, hope you don't mind. Please feel free to play with any image I post. I really like the "infra red" version - how did you do that? (NOTE: I was burgled whilst away on holiday and my PC went walkies. I've now bought a new one with Windows 7. As a temporary measure, I've ...
