If I can offer an opinion?
Picture one could live with the top third cropped off and both sunsets would look great..if it wasn't for the roofs in the way.
But then, it'd be taking things too far to knock a few houses down for the sunset...or would it

If you mean the black "dots" then that is the way the seed heads are, ( but I had to go back to the original to check )

I agree. No-one should object to constructive criticism but I agree it pays to be careful!

I remember having my first shots (constructively) torn apart and reassembled. My ego took a bash...but I learnt a lot from that.

I have spent quite a lot of time recently commenting on pictures in the Gallery, not necessarily on their photo merit but being honest on how I responded to the image but then had very little comeback from the poster. This has discouraged me to the point that I have not posted or commented on any pictures in the last few days, coming to the conclusion that the Gallery is not there for comment. Am I right??
That's my understanding. "Your Photos" is for C&C. The gallery is to display your best work. Which is why I've only put shots in there which have had positive comments elsewhere on the forum.I have spent quite a lot of time recently commenting on pictures in the Gallery, not necessarily on their photo merit but being honest on how I responded to the image but then had very little comeback from the poster.

But I could be wrong

I like number one, the zoom does give it added dynamism. I also like the Lancaster with the chimneys.
The marina shot..I too thought he was having a pee
Is the horizon straight on that one?

I went to Chirk Castle on Saturday. Couldn't really get inspired in the gardens, but took a couple of shots at the old farm buildings on the way in.
C&C welcome

I'll respond by saying; maybe you have answered your own question.I must admit I hardly ever comment on other people's images as I don't think I have the right to criticise work that is better than mine
PS I wonder if this will get a response
If we all decided we don't know enough to comment, maybe no-one will comment.
BTW, I'm as guitly as you for doing that

OK guys.
So, some of the shots will be out of focus, not too surprised at that with dull lighting and fast moving targets and others might need more tweaking than I'm used to doing because I normally shoot in JPEG.
I generally use centre focusing and I have it set to AF-S to stop the camera "hunting" for the focus.
I'll go through all the images tonight, ( only chose some at random last night ), and see what's what

Morning Amin!Good one Father Ted Glad all worked so well.
Now let's see some of those shots so that we can throw an avalanche of criticism at them
I hope that'd be an avalanche of constructive criticism
I have some work to do on them as someone convinced me to shoot in RAW

But, I'll get some posted later this evening hopefully

Back on topic
I had a word with the guys at the cricket club. They were more than happy for me to take photos. I gave them a few prints from the adult match I watched a couple of weeks ago, to win them over.
I also offered to email them any decent shots I got, at this stage I'm not too bothered about selling images, (but I will stick my name on the bottom).
The kids came over and asked to see the shots and were impressed when I showed them, so, all in all, a success!
Just need to go through all the shots and see which worked

I might try that, to see what it looks like.
