I know your frustration and you are not alone in that. Your eyes see so much more that your camera lens. Your eyes have the ability to focus on what really interests you and ignores the rest up to as point. The skill in photography is to isolate that interest from the rest and to enable others to see what you have seen. That is what seperates a skilled photographer from a snapper and it i ...

My sentiments...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. can't put it better than that

What lens?..Manual focus or auto? Whichever, it is spot on. Way before your K10, I see.

This is the sort of pic you spend years trying to capture. Perfectly composed in my opinion. Just the right amount of body to support the head.

A personal opinion, for what it is worth. I would crop it tighter at the top and maybe the bottom. I find the flower colours detract from the main focus of the picture, which is a white butterfly which you have captured spot on

To be contrary..I think the black surround gives this portrait a real edge, but what the heck, just looking into her eyes is more that enough to win me over. a beautiful portrait. Was the lady pleased with it?

I like it. If you could have caught the seagull out of the cloud it would have added impact. I know!! it was not a remote control seagull. How we wish at times we could manipulate these things. If you crop the foregound into another pic it has interest in itself.

I don't get the point...(Just my humour) Your uploading is perfect. How about a real cracking shot next time. No!! not of a shotgun. Something with two or four legs, please.

Are you sure?? I have just checked with the other version and they both seem to be the same. Have you uploaded the cropped version?

This has much more going for it than the previous bridge scene which I thought was a bit fussy. The traces of the setting sun adds impact to an already interesting sky. I like the bridge in this pic. it takes my eye into the picture which is delicately lit and does give an atmosphere of tranquility. A very commendable pic.
