Rose
Lovely flower Phil, some post-processing to help the background recede further would assist to retain focus on the subject, IMO. It's a challenge to keep light-colured petals (like on this rose) from blowing out the highlights when in direct light, so you've done well with that.

And here are some of the 'Dutch' great crested grebes
No 2 is my pick of the three, as the birds are filling the frame. Nice colours, and the focus seems good, down to the beads of water on the back of the first bird. If anything, perhaps the crop on the right side could be less tight, so as to include the whole foot?

And here are some of the 'Dutch' great crested grebes
Ok, thanks for checking. My old monitor then is to blame. I need to try calibrate the monitor somehow. Regards, Tobio Try this. Takes no more than a minute and is free. It's very simple, but it might do the job. If not, you'll want something more complicated. http://www.calibrize.com/inde...

Oranje boven
It cetainly is oranje, Lidy. I might have taken that shot from a slighter higher position - that way, you would have more of the in-focus area exposed for our admiration!

Two Tiny Tasty Toms
Not sure on this one, the brightness of the blue clashes with the red to my eyes. Maybe a black background? Would look better with a nice covering of water droplets. Compositionally I would have placed one bottom right and the second one top left, the top left one slightly out of focus as well. The ...

A 33-year-old lens
Wow, these are fantastic shots. I first read about the Jupiter lenses a couple of weeks back and tried to get my hands on one of them, but lost out unfortunately. These great shots make me want to try harder to get a Jupiter lens now :) Kev

A 33-year-old lens
Obviously a wonderful lens which you've made good use of. 135 is very "long" I find on a digital camera. You must have had to back off quite a long way to get these!

A 33-year-old lens
Thanks everybody! Andrew: yes, Id have to back off quite a bit and this focal length (new to me) will take some getting used to. Sometimes convenient, sometimes the opposite. :wink: Tobio: this dog is definitely NOT camera shy. Heá also quite lazy (read: won't budge).These two characteristic...

Spitfire Flypast (3 pics)
Leave SR on, you know you want to!! To be honest I don't know why I took any notice .. I have always had good results with it on and never once switched it off when using the K10D. Daft time to try really :roll: :D I *so* know what you mean. I'm chucking stones around in my own glass house, I...

advice on crop St Michaels mount at the time of opening this thread there is only one image
Ok well i'm back from holiday with some images some are ok and some are average This is my first go with my new ND filters and to be honest it's harder to get feed back from your camera when the sun is on the LCD screen so I just took some images and then altered the exposer and snapped away...

First couple shoot - CC's please
I like #1 a lot. Just perhaps a crop off the bottom, just below the hand? So that the tops of the cups fall along the bottom third. For me, you've gone too far with the 'blur effect' in #2. The blurred area would be more realistic if it faded in and out gradually. #6 would have been excellent ...

Trondheimsfjord by night
Nice! I think the crop works well. Agree that more sky would be better though. I just noticed your location. Trondheim's a lovely town. Nice harbour and cathedral. I'd love to go back - with a camera. The light nights were hard to sleep through though!

Advice on my oats (four images)
I like no.4, Kris, but with the brightening applied. The out of focus background helps give it context in my opinion. America or Hertfordshire?

So a chance of going back to the abandoned factory, then, Kris. Have a good trip. I think we're going to Somerset this summer.

The Loch
The man who shall not be named used a donkey to carry his LF gear up the mountains. I was carting my gear on my back and boy was I tired at the end of the day. Mind you, I only have two LF lenses so quite a weight saving there, but the tripod, ohh the tripod. Definitely need a donkey...

Ryton Gardens
I like the 3rd and 4th ones best. In the 4th one I think focussing on the red raspberry (and having it in the same position as the green in-focus one) would make for a stronger image. I would also be tempted to crop off as much of that right-side wall as possible and just have a green and red OOF ba...
