The first and last for me, both good portraits. #2 is fine but the highlights on her white make up are dangerously close to being burned out. It seems you had some quite bright sunlight. When I was there two weeks ago it was dull and overcast and started to rain later. It was easier to control the light.

Jon, before deciding I would try to find out more about this organisation.
Questions like: What exactly is the project they are doing and are they going to make money out of it.
If its a commercial enterprise in which they make money they should pay you for your picture. If its a free website then the qudos you get from being published on it might be worth doing it for free.
Make sure they understand that whatever happens the copyright of the image remains yours. It seems they are prepared to give you full publicity, including a link to your website, in return.

They're very good indeed Richard. You say you haven't done trains before, well these look expert, and the IR treatment suits them fine.

Fantastic Gary, you must go back with a wide angle lens. Are there also pictures to be done of the shell of this concrete building? I imagine there are some good angles and shapes which might work well in mono.

Jon, I can only add to the praise already heaped on these pictures. As Adrian says they would make a great coffee table book - 'Views From My Office.'

Its a good all round set Will. Can I ask if the boarded up picturee is a result of the recent riots?
As for the discussion on colour vs I think each each picture has its own characteristics, sometimes colour and sometimes mono is better.

I agree with Tim. If you put yourself forward you could be suspected of being on an ego trip but if you're invited then it would be a great compliment.

I'd never heard of Trotter's World of Animals Gareth but it sounds good. Provisionally, I'm interested.
I'd also be keen on a trip to Ribblehead but that sounds like it would be just for steam train fans

Like quite a few old lags I lurk but don't post much.

Lilly I think you'll find is very, very busy but is still using Pentax to great effect check her ARPS portfolio.

Last time I communicated with Clarky he too was very busy, with grand children I think.

Yes Lilly has been very busy, she spent weeks in India doing photography and then worked on her ARPS distinction for the Royal Photographic Society. And she's been working on a gallery project down in deepest Cornwall.
Another regular who hasn't been on this site for a while is Aiki. She's a busy young working mum but is still active with her photography.
I miss Bonnipics who was a regular two-three years ago when I first joined. Then he vanished only to appear from time to time. I've not seen him posting lately.
Another regular in my early days as a member here was Giving Tree whose fine pictures and thoughtful comments have been missing for at least a year.

PS: Just checked, Markj, logged in today so he can't be listed 'missing.'
