I think Dr Mhuni is right. I also think he has expressed himself very well, ie very polite and respectful despite being critical. These are decent shots though Tim, and there is also no doubt you can reach the very high standard which we think PPG ought to be aspiring.

One of those shots that would have benefitted from being taken at a different time of day, with fewer bystanders milling around (only the woman in the foreground adds to the shot IMO), and softer light.

And as has been said, it looks like the photographer might have enjoyed a brown ale or two before taking the shot...

Sorry to add to your woes!

I know what you mean Mike. I'm a big fan of images which are intensely mundane, but through some sort of magic, take on a sublime quality. Gursky's 'Toys R Us' for example.

I love your flickr guy's stuff too. It's strength lies in being a series - like a vast platter of visual canapes.

Was going to suggest something like iberg's crop, but slightly more off the left and the bottom. This creates a more 'formal' composition with stronger geometry.

Perhaps this detracts from the qualities of pointlessness and neither-here-nor-there mundanity Mike set out to achieve? (Although in my view he achieved his objective a bit TOO well!)

Pentax really do provide a lot of bang for your buck with their entry level cameras - the K-x won entry level camera of the year and for good reason. I don't think you could in wrong with one of those.

I've changed my mind about shot 1 Andrew - I think it's fine as it is. I'm afraid I was viewing it on a rather small (smartphone) screen. I really ought to stop doing that!

I don't think no. 2 is a complete miss... I can see what drew you to the shot.

The backgrounds are a little distracting. Sharp shots though, it's a nice wee lens.

Multicoloured ones, that's really funny!

I think the reason I heard for the Japan-only release is because Pentax want a proper customer support system in place. But I wonder if anyone has imported one into the UK yet?
