Samyang portraits
It looks like you have gone for a soft focus approach and there is nothing wrong with that. But I think you have lost a bit of life in the eyes. "My 3 crazy kids!" .....do they take after there dad:twisted:

Samyang portraits
They sure do! When you say lost life in the eyes, do you mean the white points? Asking as from memory they're sharp and in focus?

A trip to the florist
The last one makes the most of the back light and reveals the delicacy and softness of the petals. Lovely colour as well. The effect is more forced in the others with very high contrast making a harsher look and perhaps pushing the red/orange tones too much. But beautiful specimens.... Did you have...

It was never all going to be in focus but you nailed the eyes! Well done. Best regards

Mr sunbird
I think you read too much into my comment, Nigel. Simply put, when trying to capture a fast moving bird such as our Sunbirds, you grab what you can and not think about composing the shot at that time because there rarely is time, you're lucky to even get focus. But yes, you can fiddle around in po...

Hello Peter, Glad to see you are still shooting, me too. I remember you from back in the 70s/80s when I was a staff photographer on The Brentwood Gazette and you had your brown Ford Capri, a super car

Autumn Portrait
It's a classic clanger, that's for sure. Such a pity because you've got so much else working beautifully really .... Pose, angle, expression, focus, DOF all great. Its so easy not to see this issue at the time, focused as we are on engaging the subject and focusing (especially with manual). You mi...

Spiders + mist = Art
Very good, yes, and arty that's true. Great focus and super-low DOF.

A day at Sidmouth
What a fantastic set. If I'd gone out for the day and came back with a couple like these I'd be delighted. To come back with a set that full and strong. Am :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: 3,5,8 and 14. 5 and 14 for me are just gorgeous.

A day at Sidmouth
a very good varied set, all of which i have never been able to see in many holidays in that area over the years. always thought of Sidmouth as pretty boring photography wise, will have to go back and look again.

Advice on composition
It improves it. However, the other two are not interacting with each other in any way and the nearer bird doesn't benefit from the same plane of focus as the farther so the composition isn't really working for me. Two in some way related or just the one.

spider jewellery
These foggy days at least have the benefit of producing wonderful effects with water droplets on spider webs. Michaelblue's earlier posting, taken with a Tamron macro prompted me to search out a few subjects and have a go as well .... 1 This has already appeared on the main gallery 2 here...

Then 11th of 11th Month is 'Armis...

Great shots Neil, which lenny did you use for these? And were they manual focus?
