Something I've been thinking about for a while. Didn't know there was software out there to do it. Was wondering how you guys, with year's worth of photos, kept things straight.

I like the idea...but then I would. I'm still heavily on the "Need Help" side of the fence.
I think it might become a burden to those on the "Able to Help " side; and, to be honest, the C&C in "Your Photos" seems to work quite well, when C&C is asked for.

I love the skies in 1, 5 & 6

Doh!!

What a brilliant post! And I understood at least some of it

That did make a lot of sense and sort of explains how I feel. I miss things that other people seem to see instantly. But, having seen things on here, I then spot them ( sometimes ) when I'm out with my camera.

You comment about seeing new ideas and either taking them on board or rejecting them strikes a chord. One of the first weekly comps. I entered on here was "Blue". The winning pic was an old gate, painted blue and rotting.
I saw a rotting piece of timber. Martin ( I think it was ) saw a blue piece of timber with all of the texture of the grain standing out.

Only when this image won did I revisit it with fresh eyes to work out what everyone else saw in it. That is now another "tool" in my toolkit. I don't claim to be able to use it to the same standard, but I am now aware of it, hopefully, in time, that awareness will become subconscious.

Thanks again for a very useful post.

No idea about your question..but welcome to the forum

Thanks Simon. That you actualy like one of my shots means a lot. I love your work in North Wales.

Well, I took your advice regarding the mono pic. ( At least, I think I've followed the advice ), and it does make for a stronger image, so I have uploaded it to the gallery.

Thanks again guys

Wow...what a good shot!!
And another well deserved acceptance.

Number two for me.
