Bee harvesting
Hi Colin, Main area for improvement based on this shot is sharpness. A lack of sharpness can result from camera movement/shake, incorrect focus and/or the use of too large an aperture. The extent to which one or all were contributory factors in this shot is difficult to say without more informati...

I agree with ChrisA in regard to the over-processing. This is a very good portrait, why the need for it? Those horrible highlights just create a barrier between me appreciating the portrait. 'Fraid this says it all for me, Shane. It's such a powerful original with that strong, direct look. But I am ...

Here you go - here's the Guiness face I was talking about ~ from the campaign called (I think) , by In my humble opinion, either of Shane's is actually better (though I *still* prefer his first). Okay, so Glazer's offering is a movie, and a therefore lot harder to retouch and stay consist...

I'd say go back to the first cut, maybe (for Chris's sake) dim those highlights ... Please don't anyone feel they need to do anything to a picture for my sake. The OP asked for opinions, I gave mine. No one's under any obligation to agree with them, defend their own preferences, or indeed pay an...

A future project...
ChrisA has pretty much said it all really. All I can add is that I keep coming back to this photo and staring at it again and again. I look forward to seeing more in the series later.

A future project...
ChrisA has pretty much said it all really. Actually there's one more thing that I had at the back of my mind last night, but I couldn't remember the details. I've found it now... There's a quote from the bible... In Matthew chapter 7, vv 13-14, it says this: ... For wide is the gate and ...

Thank you to everyone. I did not use a tripod. It would not have worked in this situation, I was low to the ground for almost all shots, doing the army crawl. I wore a large white Tilly hat, and it gave me a certian camoflage....it also got me very close to these funny little birds. IJudith...

No smokeless zone here
I know this isn't a high quality photo but it illustrates how the world's railways were showering coal smoke across the landscape until the mid 20th centiury, before anyone had heard of global warming. This shot was taken earlier this year at Durham when a charter steam special hauled by the ex-LMS ...

Cor blimey! There it was, gone! :) I saw it yesterday - and thought about commenting, but didn't want to be first! :lol: For what it's worth, I thought it was a fine photo! Equal of many I've seen in my (warning, geek-alert) books on trains, of which I have a few (ahem). I was going to comm...

Well it's back, thanks for the vote of confidence. It seems if you remove your photo its a good way to stir up some support.:D:D:D Neil I thought the firemen laid on the smoke specially for us photographers. This was some experience, a massive scarey engine belching smoke and bearing down on you at...

Lovely limpid light and soft colours, Ems. Dramatic sky and nice composition, particularly with second crop. I might be inclined to cut out a bit of sky as well, to balance things up a bit. Good to see you back in action.
