Quite sci-fi - I like it, particularly the halo effect around the figure.

Great shots, Chris.

(Similar thoughts as Peter's - and convicts might start requesting longer sentences!)

The mono looks good but I think the colour is a significant feature of this subject. Also, for that reason, the saturation and brightness of the backgound should be more muted.

...making a good photo great!

But I scream at the inadequacy of the so-called artwork.......no flake? Unthinkable.

It isn't open very often outside of services but worth it when it is. Here is a shot of the inside taken during Heritage weekend last year.
Very impressive - thank you, Kris.

Good shot, Kris. This is one I visited a couple of years ago but sadly it was locked up. Still, the outside was worth photographing for its interesting shape and wonderful brickwork. The two nearby Ayot St Lawrence churches are also interesting places for photography.

I'm enjoying images 3 to 8 David and, as I know little about fungi, thank you for the interesting and informative captions.

For the holly image, I can imagine some club judges commenting on the distracting bright bokeh, but I like the way it almost copies the pattern of the berries!

I'll be with the 80% Gareth. I like what's here but it would be better to see more of it. The tree does seem too truncated, if that's the right word.

When using a manual only Pentax lens (e.g. K or M), there seems to be no difference in the way the camera works whether the focus switch is set to MF or AF. So, apologies if these are daft questions, but is there anything wrong with leaving the setting on AF, and/or is there any advantage in switching to MF? I'm using a Pentax KP, the OVF, centre point focus, recompose when required.

Thanks in advance for your helpful replies.
