Mark that's a Parhelic Circle and boy oh boy, what a shot! I think there's scope to improve the tones though, and perhaps cropping to landscape format would improve the composition IMHO.

Shaun, the collection of images there are superb - although I don't find YT the best way of viewing stills to be honest... the picture quality isn't quite as good as viewing an online slide show etc, and there's less control on the speed.

Perhaps less strident music might work better with your images... it's verging on the innappropriately dramatic! The music on your website is MUCH nicer!

Lastly if you want to use YT for marketing, yep you need to cover what services you offer and reflect that in your video... I presume your core income will be wedding and portrait photography, so wouldn't a selection of images and a bit of a behind the scenes mini-documentary about who you are and how you work, be more effective. Put the video function on your K5 to good use!

PS.. the image at 0:42 - quite Gursky-esque don't you think?

Ever hopeful of a 3,000,000 cash injection, which would certainly buy a lot of K lenses, here is my contribution.

K, I reckon you've got it licked and I really like that shot!

As for the rest of you... You bunch of Daily Mail reading philistines

That is exactly how the other forum raises revenue. That is why it is relatively free of annoying ads, and all areas are available without restriction, whether you have contributed or not. They do not have a business model and just aim to cover costs. They make the revenues raised public, and plough any surplus into increasing server space - increasing the size and number of uploads for everyone.

Very good shots. The last is my favourite although I'm incredibly impressed by the scale of the place in shot 1.

OK, I challenge anyone to take an equally minimalistic and sober looking photograph!

No originality or intellectual rigour Sean, and you have not built an international reputation for yourself... sorry! It's maybe worth £15 as an A3 print

It is very nice though and I would have been delighted to have taken it.

I love this sort of photograph, which sort of transcends mundanity... its an antidote to those lovely 'pretty' landscape photographs we are saturated with. I like the subtlety of the colours and tones, and the simplicity of the horizontal lines.

I was a bit surprised and slightly disappointed that he cloned elements out though, I thought the whole point of his pictures was that they are so real and unadorned. The fact that reality can look so much like an abstract painting would be more impressive than photoshopping reality to look like an abstract painting.

Would I pay 4.3 mill? Hell no, it's a photograph at the end of the day. It is reproducable. I would however buy a print of it to hang on my wall.

I wouldn't take Gursky as a general example of how to improve your landscape photography Chris! It's a different sort of photography entirely IMHO.

And as I said before, your shots here are reportage really, you are recording an unusual environmental event. In my view what is needed is another element like a beached boat, a bewildered and frustrated fisherman unable to reach the water, or something else to help convey the extreme dryness of the river.
