VERY nice shots Scott

Poor old Post Office we all know that its digital and inkjet printers thats putting the labs out of business, why blame the PO?
[/quote]Of course it was the PO who ruined the FREE FILM business's £1.28 to post to the customer instead of 39p.... 228% increase plus the PO probably set the package thickness to catch the films due to the amount being posted.

Nice shots Craig, but as a cat lover I'm easily pleased

The focus isn't quite right on the first two, I'd have prefered to see both eyes pin sharp, and theyre not

I'm with Peter on this, the third shot is a cracker and makes you paws for a longer look

She's magnificent though, great subject.

Well just as I was scraping around the barrel for Docs night pic
I think you answered your own question

To be perfectly honest Lilly the shot does nothing for me. the benches, which are obviously the focal point are too central in the frame, in fact to be blunt this is not up to your usual standard, for me the shot is in the first bench and the play of light and shadow on it, crop everything off leaving just the bottom right quarter and I'd be happy.

Just my view of course, others may think its brilliant

As Mike suggests the shot is technically OK

The ball has bounced back after hitting the stumps
Ah I see:, its just that when I played cricket at school all those years ago the momentum of the ball would drive straight through the wickets knocking them aside, cant remember a ball ever bouncing back off it, unless they were drawn in chalk on a wall somewhere

But then again my knowledge of cricket would fill a postage stamp

Have seen these before, as Joe says, its a composite I wonder how much time they spend in photoshop

Its still very impressive but I feel this particular image turns the observer into a bit of a voyeur.....

PS; I couldn't find the naked woman

EDIT the link posted by Duncan is one I've seen before on another forum, not sure if it was me that posted the link on here some time ago?

Nice shot, but why are the bails flying up in the air when the ball appears to be in front of the wicket?

Put a plant pot full of variously coloured flowers in your garden, then snap then at different times of the day and under differing lighting conditions, then try and snap them as a the sky clouds over and a thunderstorm approaches and reproduce any of the aforetaken shots/colours....IMPOSSIBLE!

Dont worry about about your sons red top in this shot, take him wearing it again tomorrow at high noon and I bet the the red is a different colour/hue/saturation etc etc etc

Reds are notorious for digital sensors to reproduce anyway (as are yellows if I'm not mistaken) several shades of red may come out as one "block" under the "wrong" lighting conditions.
I wouldn't worry about this shot or your camera, different lighting affects different colours, lets face it you wouldn't photograph a black cat in a coal cellar at night just keep snapping away and learn what happens when and try and remember it for the next similar shot.
