Great contrasting images. I like them all, but particularly love the depth in the waterfall... and the pit head shot has a certain something

Really nice set George. Particularly like 4 and 6 where you've used DOF so cleverly. The portrait crops work superbly here.

Another shout for the last one - the light is great

Woodland pictures are very hard to do well. It's one of those places where it's nice to be but difficult to photograph.

Second to that. You see some great woodland shots on Flickr, particularly abstracts, but only realise the skill and 'eye' involved when you give it a go.

Thanks Bill too for your comments... really appreciated !

For me, the ferns do nothing for me sorry, my eyes don't settle on anything and they look messy. Things started to get better with the directional light image (although for me it's stronger square cropped with the top area of trees and sky ditched) but then you saved the best till last BAM! The birch tree image! Love love love that! It's almost like a painted abstract image you'd see in a gallery somewhere. Really nice that one

Thanks Gareth, really helpful critique

Very good Tim, I really like how close you got in to the ferns and those shots have a great depth. I think you have finally got that good shot of the tree, its really rather painterly. Perhaps I'd go for a little bit darker exposure with it.

Thanks Nigel . I'll definitely have a play with the exposure on the birch shot.

Howdy All

Not posted much recently, but I've been dipping in to the forum every now and again . Good to see it's still so healthy!

Here are a few from my local woods - the regular dog walk spot. All a bit random, but nice to catch some of the amazing autumn colour. I suspect we'll only get a few more days now before the leaves plunge on mass to the ground (just like that Terry Gilliam cartoon, Monty Python fans!)
