One for Alan.
Your shots all look a lot smoother ( for want of a better word) than mine. Is that a PP effect, or due to lens, or camera?
If it is PP, can you point me in the right direction of what I can do to achieve this effect?

I love number 1. Don't think it works as well in B&W (IMHO).
Unsure about number 3, too much sky?

Some more from me.
Possibly the only pic of this girl with her clothes on ( does that make me strange? )

You are right, so I've left it. I must say, i was surprised at spider noticing the horizon, when a good looking girl was the main subject

That's it Alan..I give up!!!
Looks like I'll have to go back next year for more practice

Thanks Alan.
D'you know, I hadn't spotted that horizon!! Soon sort that out.
Number 4...the model was cold and detached...ask David
Number 5 was taken at 300mm, with the camera balanced on something, I think it might have been a bench, bat can't remember.


Oh; and virgin?!! I'm a man of the cloth don't Y know

I like them all, but tend to agree with Pauly that they are a little flat.
I'd also crop the first one to the top of the rocks, to my mind it focuses attention to the waterfall.

I'm really hoping we get snow again this year! It NEVER snows round here, so last year's snow was brilliant. Even if it did shut Liverpool down for a day.

Inspired by David yesterday, I took this shot of my daughter today.
It is more heavily PP'd than I'd usually like, but the background is vertical blinds and I needed to get rid of the lines.
