The other reason for playing with mono - you can develop the film at home very easily indeed, which is great fun!
I just develop to negatives and then use a film scanner to digitise them, it gives me an excuse to play with old cameras and produces decent results.

As an aside, Father Ted - most of the photos I take don't do much for me either. I've got very few (in about 4000 since I bought the K200D) that I would describe as keepers. It's high time that I started posting some on here - maybe if I listen to what folks say, I might improve a bit eventually. One of the main problems I have, I think, is that I don't spend enough time thinking about what I want to achieve before I fire the shutter - so it's usually entirely accidental if anything useful is captured.

They don't do much for me, I'm afraid, except for the tree. I think a tweak in PS, maybe alter the contrast a bit and that may come to life. I certainly like the composition of it.

Don't worry about posting pics. They are a very friendly bunch on here and will help you a lot ( they did with me! ).

I tried covering over the white wall of the building and think cropping that out and a little of the top makes it a stronger image ( IMHO ).

Mike's original post betrayed a little irritation, I feel, at the uniformly upbeat comments that proceeded his. He was really criticising the critics more than the pictures.

I am guilty of not leaving comments if I don't like something, or not explaining when I do. I should get my act together as I ask this of others when I post in here
Poor Andrew though. I bet you really never expected to start a discussion like this.

Let us confine technical nit-picking to the competition sections. Here, if a photographer thought a shot worthy of taking, and sharing... That's enough for it to be here.
