Another portrait attempt
Looks a little out of focus?

Church in Autumn
I prefer the wall to be in the shot. The colours are nice but I agree with Nigel regarding the top right. Also, except when an image has been captured at an unusual angle or with extreme perspective (usually for artistic reasons), I expect to see vertical lines in a building like this church. So, in...

"all comments and ideas gratefully received! " Phew, because I'll be brutally honest ...... The locations are obviously scenic enough and complex enough to provide a huge opportunity for some inspiring and diverse photographic snappings, but what you've presented here is a total failure to c...

Surrey Gardens
It's not often I've agreed with Smeggy on this Forum :wink: but on this occasion, I think he has summarised it very well. I would recommend similarly, forget about the technicalities, go out there with your camera and shoot instinctively. I actually don't think the locations have helped you here,...

Surrey Gardens
I've had similar nightmares with colour, Nigel, which is why these days I tend to shoot using one of the white balance presets in Raw+ mode. I just use the jpegs unless I really need to go back to the Raw file. I agree with the previous comments on composition. Try visualizing the scene as an ab...

Wow, if that's a bit rusty then I quit, don't usually like to give comment on other peoples work, but this is the second time I have come back to view this set, just for pleasure:D

Along with many others, I too enjoy viewing your gig pictures, rusty or otherwise! Such pictures provide plenty of inspiration for the average guy such as myself. As someone who enjoys a few gigs each year as funds allow (will be seeing the Stereophonics at the Leeds Arena in a few weeks), I a...

Polesden Lacy Showcase
After the utter pasting I took yesterday with my Surrey Gardens selection - (colours, DOF, compositions, intrusions, overhangs, geese, too much grass, wrong kind of leaves ... :D :( :? ) you'd be thinking my K7 would be up for grabs in the classifieds.... but, no :P... I'm leaping straight back into...

McGregNi After the utter pasting I took yesterday It's a shame you feel like that Nigel, you asked for feedback on your images and that is what you got. :? I will leave any thoughts and observations I have on your images for others to comment on. :D Jim, please don't. You have simply mis-interp...

A Set with the K-01 - T-fest 2013
Here's the last of my three sets from T-fest 2013, this with the K-01, after posting some with the K-5 and K-5IIs previously. This set is a little more limited in scope as I restricted the K-01 to a couple of lenses (Samsung D-Xenon 12-24 and Pentax-A 50mm). CC welcomed. Summerlin - 12-24 ...

Our new best friend
I know what you mean about the white balance, the first was on auto and the second on tungsten which was better. I must admit i do forget about it when indoors, something I must work on. Shoot RAW+ and then you can go back and modify them. And you probably need something in between as the second...

Big event in little Timperley.
Great stuff. I used to live in Timperley....rather a long while back!

Chelsea Harbour, The Thames
My initial observation is that, apart from the last two which start to stray, your colour in these is much, much better. Whatever you have done differently has worked well. Exactly what I was going to say John. :) They've got those classic "Postcard Blues" The last two: The penultimate pic is w...

My initial observation is that, apart from the last two which start to stray, your colour in these is much, much better. Whatever you have done differently has worked well. I'm glad the colours have reproduced well on other monitors now John, as its been a bit frustrating. I had a good look into my ...

Landscape Photographer of the Year 2013
Bill, very well done a fantastic photograph, will try and pop down to the exhibition before it closes. Love your pics of the Manchester architecture on your website, brought back a lot of memories as I used to live there for many years. Lenny

Arty high key?
I'm with Pentaxophile/Andrewk. Have you tried pulling back a bit - less burn-out and a bit more detail? I prefer B&W, but keep the whites white, not grey as in the first one! Also, I would have a symmetrical crop on the first two - horse centre. If you pull back the exposure then a vignette goin...

Beautiful Places Re-visited
I like to look back at my RAW files shot in the past to what I've missed as I often find some images that I should have processed. Here are four shot last year in the Lake District and Scotland that I've only just got around to processing; three of these have appeared on the Gallery in the past few...

Beautiful Places Re-visited
The light and colours in the first two scenes are great, but the compositions aren't really working for me. There's too much going on for me in the first. The lead-in line (which here I find rather divisive) leads me to the tree then the sunken tree tries to pull me away then the background boats ...
