Purdah in Shekhawati
I love the funky angle on this picture - looks like it was taken in the middle of an earthquake! Lots of really nice tones in the masonry too - well spotted.

Have a good Christmas in India
I really like the shot and the conversion. Just spent a while looking at it to think of some honest C&C but the only suggestion is to perhaps crop a slither from the left hand edge to get rid of some of the halved odds and sods.
Glad the trip is going well.
Best wishes, K.

Feel free to edit any of my posted photos! If I post a photo for critique, I want brutal honesty. If you don't like it, please say so and tell me why!
My instant reaction when I could only see the top third of the photo was: 'why isn't it square to the frame?' Then I scrolled down and realised that nothing is square to anything else.

Hi Kris, Thanks, I did actually try what you suggest but what happenned was, was! I had to trim off top or bottom as well to keep the square format, which I preferred. But I will do another and compare!

Just a quick and quite severe 'rotate canvas' followed by a crop. Does the building look better straight with the woman now walking downhill or perhaps you think the original shot was far more idiosyncratic and charming?
Best wishes for the rest of your trip, David.
PS: Love ther black and white conversion.

It's a picture now , yes a charming one , but it doesn't have the wow factor that the first one had
proud owner of a couple of cameras and a few bits and bobs
The way I tilted the lens at an angle was automatic, as some of you know I tend to do, I think it gives it drama as well.
Thamks David, Interesting though isn't it how important cropping & framing can make or break an image?

I did say I wd try to resist to do much editing but just load them up and store on disc and HD. But it is hard, especially at nighttime and it is quite cold here now 5 degrees at night, not to open up a few images and play.
Not seeing them on a normal size screen I thought I would post up this one I did tonight, for some honest c & c?
Sigma 10-20 K20D
All the best for Christmas, it is kinda low key here, great!
