The Lakes at the weekend
I'm with Ems82 here; sorry mikew, IMO if you offer such negative feedback it would be useful to back this up with some helpful advice, which is the purpose of this forum. To this extent, RR, take a bow in showing how it should be done :D What is the definition of 'lavish praise'; if somebody l...

Emma, the original is very contrasty which has been amplified by your original conversion. Try shooting on standard jpeg settings (currently you have contrast & sharpness maxed out in your settings) - as you are not afraid of some post processing you can always add some contrast or sharpening to the...

Waiting for No.4
Thanks all, I was quite nervous about posting these! Considering the speed all this happened at and how many things I had to do in a short period of time with very limited resources, remarkable I got any photographs at all! Mikew - these were either shot in rehearsal or just before performance (n...

Waiting for No.4
If anyone is interested, I've quickly done a (very) draft with these pics and more - will return to them and improve when I get back from holiday!

3 Flowers with A35-105
Nice shots from a great lens. I decided that mine was so good that I sold the 50-135DA*. The 35-105 has exceptional image quality and is much smaller (not much lighter though... it's a tank!). It's a very cost-effective high quality zoom to buy as an alternative to the DA* if you don't mind manua...

3 Flowers with A35-105
I should say the background, although blurred, is important and shouldn't be distracting. Therefore the second two of your pictures are more acceptable than the first one, in this respect. Secondly, sharpness is, almost, everything. In this branch of photography any lack of sharpness is immediate...

twins
Definitely the 2nd one. Interesting angle (shame you cropped the wing though), and the face is in focus. The heads in the first shot are too soft.

A Day at the Seaside
Then I should have been able to borrow their 8mm lens instead of having to back up!

Little bridge
It's a decent shot, nothing to be nervous about :) Nice and sharp, good exposure, level horizon, all good! The subject matter isn't completely to my taste but hey you can't please everyone right? :D I like the lines of the bricks and railings, and the shadow of the railings is especially cool...

Grasses
Welcome back, Kris. Lovely set. I'm drawn to the lighting in 3 but love the blue in the first two. Well seen.

some shots of my guitar
I agree they are dark. Also on the third one the focus point seems to be either the last couple of frets or the top element (hard to tell on my monitor) which leaves the bulk of the photo out of focus. I don't like that. Shallow depth of field fine, but to have the focus point so far to the right ju...

some shots of my guitar
I like this one better, but to be really picky I'd like to see more of the body curve highlighted. As it is it is a fine photo of strings, a couple of elements and a whammy bar, but the Strat is a very curvy, sexy guitar and it needs those curves showing. The depth of field is still shallow too s...

some shots of my guitar
The first of the new ones I like very much but I think Gwyn is right about showing more outline curves, the second is well lit but just a touch over exposed, the highlights are starting to blow; if the original is OK I'd be inclined just to pull the highlights back a little

Golden eyes
This is a shot of our neighbours cat, it has very bad vision (I know a cat with bad eyes !!!) and is very timid it runs at the slightest noise. It was sat on our dustbin, so I grabbed the cam which had the 70-200 on and got off about 4 frames. Not the sharpest of shots, missed focus on the eye...

Four From Today
I like the crop of No 1 Andrew - it works for me 'as is' also. No 2 seems to lack a relationship in space, time or type, that binds the three objects? I can't pin it better than that, the conversion is fine BTW. I agree on the rendering of No 3, although the focus is in an odd location in th...

Four From Today
Thanks i-Berg Interesting comments. I really enjoy what you have to say about images. In no.2 it was the very incongruity which drew me to the three objects. The result is not happy or harmonious, nor is it pleasing to the eye, but will we remember it? I wanted to daisies to recede using fo...

Birding with the 50-135DA*
Oh dear, time to get a new laptop methinks:oops: burning out on the leaves, I missed that out of focus leaf on the birds body, and I think it looks a bit fuzzy on the birds back. Eye and beak nice and sharp Thank you Stepehn, how kind of you to only mention the good bits:D:D:D But I did say it ...
