In light of there not being many entries, is a sunrise acceptable?

Great capture!

Really nice shot, but I agree with the comments about the background. Maybe a different coloured background would make the subject stnd out more? Black would probably be too much, red too tacky, maybe cream?

Yep! You should have seen the state of me by the time I left the party!

A long time ago (1980ish)I got lost on the way to a party. I found myself in a place called Alien Grove... it took me over an hour to find my way out out of there. Though it turned out someone had painted out part of the second I in Allen Grove. I liked the name and registered it as a domain name when the web got going.

Nice one!

I am sorry to say I agree with all the above comments, it's all a bit too busy with no particular focal point. I also find the top of the gate a bit distracting.

I like the processing on the first one though.

Very nice set AG, I like all of them!

I can also see the glow at the edge of the two outermost columns in 1, I usually get that sort of glow when I've reduced the sky highlights a bit too much.

I think the glow is perhaps from a levels adjustment, also the shot was a jpeg, I shot a load of pics before realising I was shooting jpegs.

Very difficult to avoid including people in any views in and around the site. Also, you chose the right day as a cloudy sky is always a rarity here during the tourist season. Well done

I managed to avoid people but cloned out a fence and about ten lights from the foreground of the temple shot!

Thanks for the comments!

I love the poppy shot. I had a load of 20+ year old Kodachrome 64 pics scanned last year but the colours on a lot of them had gone funny. I also ended up with lines from the scanner, which was annoying as I had them done "professionally".

Here's two of them, circa 1981, taken on a Spotmatic, not sure what lens.
