Number 4 for me. there is something about the colours that appeal to me.
But they all are good shots.

What lens did you use for no.4 :

hello. A few quick question , Did you crop the final image, Also was a tripod used, And finaly how did you apply the border to the images?(photoshop)

I was actually on the ferris wheel (with my daughter) at the time - so no, no tripod used! Was quite pleased, given the circumstances, with the relative sharpness.

The final image was very minimally cropped - a tad off the right if I recall correctly.

Re. the border, it's very simple:

In Elements (I guess Photoshop is the same) go to:
Image>Resize>Canvas size

In the box that pops up select the measurement you want from the drop down menus next to Width/Height - Pixels is easiest.

Enter the width of border you want. Then select the colour of the frame you want from the drop down menu next to Canvas extension colour. It gives you the option of White, Grey & Black - but if you click on the box showing the colour another window opens in which you can create your own colour.

In the case of the all white ones above I put in between 90-130 pixels - it depends on the size of the image and the width you think suitable for the shot.

In the case of those with a white inner and black outer frame above, I first put in a width of 10-20 pixels White and then repeat the process adding 90-110 Black.

HTH.

No. 4 for me as well Andrew. I like the way the houses of the village are clinging to the rocks on the water's edge, it tells a story about a way of life. The detail is sharp throughout the picture. The ferris wheel picture is also eye catching and makes a good graphic image.
The quality of all the pictures is first class.

The fourth image is fantastic, there are some lovely layers in this. Its quite breathtaking for me. Nice one, indeed.

Well the standout shot for me is number two. It demonstrates fractals perfectly. Use your thumb to obscure the figure. Without the man, the scene could be 1 metre or a hundred metres across, you just can't tell! (Give or take...:wink A nice set.
