OK, let's turn this around slightly. So far, 1, 2 & 4 have had positive comments.
So....what's wrong with number 3? I ask in all seriousness; is there anything obvious I could have done better with composition? Should I have spent longer on it with paintshop?

Thanks Peter. Yep, I came home with damp knees

And happy new year to you too

I finally got my act together and got out of bed early(ish).
Probably got to the woods too early as the sky was turning pink as I left, but I got a few shots.
C&C as always please.

I love the first of the "darker" shots. I found the motion blur a bit distracting in the lightened shot, but didn't notice it in the darker ones.
I really like the effect of the sparks.

Nice shots. I prefer number one, but as John said, I wouldn't have cropped number 3 quite so tightly at the bottom. (IMHO)

Nothing more to add really.

They were all in "Next".

We got to the new, lauded shopping centre in Liverpool about 10:25 and that's what it was like. Later in the day it was busy, but no-where near as busy as we expected ( except for Next ). The "credit crunch" I suppose

Mmm. was playing with curves with that one, trying to bring out the gold of the low sun. Might have another play with it.

Thanks.

So...did you come home broke? We were un-impressed with the sales. The most expensive thing we bought was lunch

Hi Oggy!
Look forward to seeing some shots of the Vulcan Great to see it is finally back in the air!

Well, the Mrs dragged me kicking and screaming to the sales. So I thought, if she is going to have fun, so will I, so I took my camera.

These are a selection of the shots I got. C&C welcome (in fact sought), as always
