Pied currawong
Nice bird, how far did you take this picture? Probably close to 5 meters, I had to step back initially to fit the bird in the frame using the Pentax Da 300. Regards Don.

Cosmos in a vase
Hi, I don't often comment on photos in the forum but I have to say with this the flower head is great, but not sure about the out of focus vase. It creates something of a distraction and spoils the effect. A painting by one of the great masters surely wouldn't emulate that?

Cosmos in a vase
Agreed, the vase make the picture unbalanced, as does the flower looking out of the frame. I wonder whether flower in focus/vase out of focus would work if the flower were above the vase and facing the camera so the picture is symmetrical? Do you still have the flower and vase?? :wink: Steve

Cosmos in a vase
Try one with the flower in the same plane as the vase to get both in focus. A re-edit of your original doesn't look so bad if it's cropped to just include the top of the vase from around the water level in the vase. The OOF effect isn't so prominent then and may even help.

Cosmos in a vase
I think the vase works quite well with it being a little out of focus - it enhances the crispness and colour of the flower head - if I were to criticise anything it would be the crumpled cloth :wink:

I'm going against the grain and saying I like that limited DOF. For me, it works better than if it was all in focus 8)

During my tidy-up and sort-out the other day I found a roll of Rollei Retro 80S that had been exposed. I had no memory of when I used it, so I sent it off to be developed. When it came back, I found it was from 2015! This was the last frame. par , on ipernity Pentax MX, SMC Pentax "K"...

Viaduct and dead tree
First for me - although agree that the crop on the second image shifts the focus away from the viaduct. Both images work

Museum d'histoire naturelle - La Rochelle
Really interesting. I have come back to look at these photos several times and found more to spark my imagination. Monochrome works and the contrast balance is great. Number 5 is the stand out shot for me. Thanks, Peter

Good to see your edits Nigel, thanks for putting the effort in - and yes they do have more punch to them! I prefer your version of the second photo and like both versions of the first equally. I was expecting a lot more vibrancy, but you've kept the colour range pretty much as is 8) I have been ...

Lunch...
Reminds me very much of something that happened to me around 45 yrs ago! Just started a new job (EMI Medical in Hayes, if anyone remembers that!) and 3-4 days later my boss took 2 newly-arrived US safety certification test engineers with several of his staff, including me, out for lunch at a larg...

Beach people and a dog (DA* 60-250mm & K1)
Many a happy childhood memory there. Back then I just assumed all the beaches were as beautiful as they are in that part of the country - how wrong I was! Thanks for sharing

Miscellaneous images from Brownsea island (image heavy)

Some interesting images, but light has helped much, I'd convert the lot to Black & White and also boost the contrast for some really graphic shots. No, IMHO. The subtle (and not so subtle) contrast between the stone and 'greenery' in 1 and 3 is what makes them. Totally agree - a couple of years b...
