Fantastic skies Gary - and I especially like the city scape shots with the modern architecture.

They're all good but #2 is the standout for me. Superb expression on your son's face.

Yes that's good Mark. I'll have to do a mono version.

Thanks for all your comments.
Mark: I was concerned at the lack of contrast in the steps picture and considered mono which I may yet do. I haven't had much time yet to play with them as I was rushing out the images to get them over to Durham Rowing Club.
I'd be happy to see your version. I deliberately left in the trainers but I agree they are too peripheral to add much to the story.

It was Durham's annual regatta at the weekend with teams entering from a wide area of the North.
Several members of Durham Photographic Society had passes to snap away, and we'll be providing shots for Durham Rowing Club's website.
Mine were mostly taken on the K3 with a DA*200mm lens. A few were on the K5 with the DA*50-135mm lens.
The K3 was set at 1000 ISO and the K5 at 800 ISO.

I have also used DS Colour Labs. they are very efficient and the print quality is excellent.

Colour or mono? Its six and two threes for me. Both work well as a 'street' photo and there are those who say black and white is best for street photography but I'm not one of them. As has already been suggested, take down the too bright highlights and it works even better. The highlights bother me more than the moire. Whatever you do don't crop out the woman in the doorway.

I'm also wondering if this is the English Malvern. Its years since I've been to the top of the Worcestershire/Herefordshire Malvern Hills to enjoy one of the most magnificent views in all England but somehow this all looks a little too green. Fine for the surrounding countryside but my memory, admittedly suspect after all these years, suggests the tops of the Malverns are not quite so green and grassy as this but more moorland-like.
However its a fine view and I'm not going to engage in the technical debate over this enjoyable image.

I haven't a clue what all this is about, not having see Louise's original post or having the faintest idea for the reason behind the Mod's action. Perhaps there were legal implications that can't be discussed publically?
But one good thing appears to have come of it - Louise can now be in no doubt about the tremendous support and friendship she can enjoy on this Forum. I hope she has gained some comfort from this.

I just love looking at natural history macros, especially when they are done so expertly as these. Thanks for opening another world.
