Common Tern
Went back to the same place as last week to see if I could get a better shot of this bird. Last time I used the K20D and 60-250mm .. this week it was the Sigma 100-300mm f4. Just the one shot :wink:

Common Tern
Not really if he was THAT good there would be a catchlight in the birds eye and a fish in its mouth Focus not quite there and the pose wasn't as good but ....

Blue poppies
I like flower pictures, therefore this one appeals to me. The blue colour is nice and delicate. Overall a good portrait of a blue poppy. Exposure seems spot on. However, I feel it lacks a little in sharpness. At the same time I would have thrown the background more out of focus by using a larger...

Blue poppies
Agree with the above but also feel that overall impact of the image would have been greater had the point of focus been adjusted to include more detail in the stigma and stamens. This would have had the additional benefit of helping to throw the background more out of focus. Is it too late to go ...

Blue poppies
Is it too late to go back for a 'second bite of the cherry'? Sadly yes until next year maybe. Taken at Coleton Fishacre garden in Devon.

red lips
Lovely and sharp, perhaps you could back it down even further. I see the lips, almost as though they are dehydrated by the flash. Faded/aged glory. There's a nice series of different slightly past their best blooms. You won't sell many on mother's day though.

Clarinet in black and white major (only one image @ 800x800 pix)
Hi Matthew. I like the composition, you've kept it simple with the three elements (clarinet, pen and sheet music) and that makes for a strong image. I do agree with Andrew though that moving the pen lid away form the pen body a bit might help (minor point though). All the key elements seem sharp ...

From the band stand
Well exposed, sharp and good colour. If you want to think about ways to lift it to another level, then lets look at the subject. What is the subject? If the subject is part of a railing that's one thing, but if, as I suspect, it's of a house framed by a railing that's another. Assuming the lat...

From the band stand
Thanks guys for the feed back the veiw just caught my eye as I passed the band stand. My aim was to show the detail in the metal work as well as maintaing the DOF throught the photo leading right to the house in the background. The sun was comming in from the left of the photo it was taken with the...

From the band stand
I am not sure that I agree entirely with JR, though his critique was a model of its kind. I suspect that the metalwork was what first caught the photographer's eye, and he then thought that he could gild the lily by using it to frame the house. As it turned out, the house was too strong a subj...

I like the colours and the focus effect very much but it's a little too abstract for my taste. But I'm sure other will love it, for that very reason!

3 photos Vøringsfossen Norway
I have just come back from a visit to Stavanger, where a drove through some of my favorite parts of Norway. These photos are of the waterfall "Vøringsfossen" situated between Eidfjord and Hardangervidda, the waterfall is maybe the most famous waterfall in the country and has a total fall of 183 met...

isolated suspension
Good rich colour and effetive use of focus. The main problem is the petals at the top which are a distraction. Perhaps they could be cloned out.

isolated suspension
Gary, Yes - for me they do come and go with the focus. There's only texture to the extent that the subject is in focus. Your title says it - the isolation needs to be effective, thus the periphery needs to act to complete that isolation.

isolated suspension
I find one of THE quickest isolation methods around is this: * Add a new layer in Photoshop * Change the layer blend mode to "Color" * Now select the green colour around and paint over the troublesome red petals... they'll go green :D I have even found that painting all one colour (or a tight ...

Andrew it's not clickeable and there seems to be another problem with it as well :( Photobucket said The action that you were trying to perform has failed. Click here to go back to what you were doing.

Dream-seller No.2
Roger, to me these pods all compete for my attention? I like your idea of the flower amongst the pods in the 2nd. To have the stalk in front of it takes the focus away from it though. It's the composition in these that's worth thinking over IMO. :)

Are grab shots of value?
Are Grab SHots of Value? Well, I think they can be. Looking at the question, I imnmediately thought of HCB and his shot of the man running in the rain. Yes, Henri must have already been there with his camera and tripod etc, but the shot itself must have been a "grab shot" as he couldn't have known...
