Baby sheep set - looking for C&C
Would love as much comments and criticism as possible. Anything from PP methods, composition, sharpness, colour, content, or anything else that you can think of - I'm looking to get better and the only way is to know where I failed. Shots with a K10d at iso800 and my Tamron 400mm f4 LD-IF Model 65...

Baby sheep set - looking for C&C
Well must admit I very rarely comment. However, I have to agree with what has been said. All of the photos seem to be very "Messy". Bits chopped off all over the place. No1 appears to be catching the subject matter, but a bit of cloning to tidy up the image would not go amiss in my opinion. The ...

Baby sheep set - looking for C&C
Tend to agree on some of the cropping issues. I really like the last one (10) though, with the group of running lambs. That was nicely captured and well framed. The small amount of motion blur is fine in my opinion. It's minor enough to be subtle and give the image a little more dynamism. Stopping m...

Baby sheep set - looking for C&C
Now, get back out there, compose the shots, take a little time, I think you have the gear, so show us the next batch !!!! I know it is sometimes hard to get back up from, "being put down'", but, the focus was good, the exposure was good, the idea was good, the subject was good, just a little refi...

Caroline
I think it lacks focus. Her expression doesn't draw any attention in this shot nor do her eyes which makes her seem a bit distant. Don't like that she is hunched over either as it is not the best pose, looks uncomfortable. Had she had her head up and been sitting up straight then it would tell a ...

I generally like your your photos a lot JR, but this one, not so much... the lighting is fine, but the background is a little distracting.... I think the lighting, and the pose would work in a different setting with a better backdrop... kneeling on a beach with a palm tree in the back, with some k...

I'm no expert in studio work of this kind, but I do have some general observations. I agree entirely with Tyr's comments about pose etc. but there are two other points that I find a bit distracting. 1: The backdrop is creased, and it shows. It's relatively easy to fix this in PP, but it might...

A few from North wales and Bath
I think the street shot has potential. I'd be tempted to crop it down a bit to focus more on the walking group, watcher from the bench and the sausage stall. OTOH wide gives some context. I always have the dilemma with my street shots. I usual create two versions. A wide and cropped in

A few from North wales and Bath
*sigh* Really takes me back. I've not been to Bath for years. Have a lot of fond memories there and in the surrounding countryside. Seeing the way it is captured on film reminds me even more as all the photos we have from there were taken on film.

A few from North wales and Bath
Smeggypants, thanks, I think that as well, I just don't have a tendency to crop pictures, I quite like the man and dog on the right in the picture, though it probably destroys the focus of the photo. Simon, it was taken last weekend, on the Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was a glorious day in the Llan...

Birds 12.03.2011
Numbers 2 and 3 are the stand out ones for due to the focus being on the eyes, and the added interest of the nut in number 3. All good captures though.

Ducks 12.3.11
I like them. A bit of cropping might improve. Less wasted space in 1, 2 and 4. I like the way in 1 and 4 you have the other out of focus duck appearing. A bit of clone tool to remove the stray background twiggery might help as might a quick enhance with a touch of curves/contrast and a trip thro...

winter and hoar frost
There was another hoar frost this morning (which doesn't happen that often here) and we were back at the stables. Comments welcome.... - Bret

Red Kites - Again!
Let's hope I get some clear skies and a chance to get out to Stokenchurch. Shouldn't be too much of a problem - my husband spent a year at a school in Horsley's Green and likes to go back there and relive his youth:lol::lol:. Oh and definitely a bit of flirting going on in #4:wink:.

Red Kites - Again!
Nice set, 3 and 4 are excellent. Love the light on his head in 3, and great dynamics in 4. Nice to see the bird's back as well, what lovely colours.

Red Kites - Again!
The 1st shot at the start of the thread was UNCROPPED with NO PP!! This is uncropped at 600mm! Now where's that 'blowing a raspberry' smiley when you need it?! :wink: PS. Had to pull it out of the reject bin to post it! :D Is that thunder stolen back?! :D:D

Red Kites - Again!
Thought I would actually get off my backside and get up before dawn this morning to try for some more action shots and found out that Red Kites like a lie in as much as I do! After walking through woods for 2 miles, changing location 3 times and driving 40 + miles the first kite I saw was soarin...

Cats by Kev
Thanks, Tim. I do tend to find myself preferring the landscape shots myself, in particular because of the cinematic framing, I find it works for most of my shots, a stylistic choice that I'm happy with. The focus on the two cat shots with leaves are slightly different, it's a little further back ...
