Is that good, bad or even worse...mediocre??
I know how you feel Hope it was a good holiday.

So here is my inexpert opinion - sorry but the only one that I really like is the last, the B&W , it's quite dramatic, but would it be better cropped as a portrait: I like the sky in the castle one but I'm not sure about the composition, is it Harlech?? I'm never taken by such as the ball and chain.

Cheers,

Howard

I quite like the first - it's almost like a musical instrument. The second does nothing for me and I don't understand the third. It seems to be two ends of the bridge side by side. I went over the bridge within a few weeks of it being opened but as it happened didn't have a camera with me, I also see it from A55 going to and from Anglesey each week. One day I'll take the coast road back and go over it again.

Cheers.

Thank you all for your comments. I thought about a different crop for the second, especially off the top but decided to leave it as was.

Thanks to John(John941) for the tip about focussing when we met last week and to Mike(mikew) for the resizing/resharpening tip, both have helped considerably.

It's a minature sunflower. I waited seemingly ages for the hoverfly to land and evetually it obliged.

Darlene, be my guest if you want to take a copy of either or both.

Prefer the colour, but why have you flipped it?

Cheers,

I, too, prefer the first - lovely bright colours. Are they a type of fuschia (is that the correct spelling??)?
