Jerome, love the colours in your shot but not sure about the framing as I would like to see more of the shot, but each to there own and if you are happy with your street scene that is all that matters really.

Oh! manners, welcome to the forum hope to see more of your work soon.

Well of late I have been guilty of a flower fetish but it depends on what is available and what you are working on a any one time, I have a new macro lens and I want to learn to use it and you lot are going to have to put up with the results.

Gosh! just noted I am no longer venerable, if that because I posted oversize?

Oh! no, it may be many a long day before I have the courage and a shot I like at the same time, so please don't hold your breath

Congratulations to the winners and my thanks to Martin for his very helpful comments on my work, who knows I may try again one day.

PS sorry I broke size rules I did not realise I had, will make sure if I try again that I get it right.

Some images, very few for me, seem to need to be converted from colour to B & W. I am just setting out to find out the best way to do this and for the shot below used the B & W adjustment offered in CS3 I adjusted the red and the magenta a bit.

Help and tips welcome and I have included the original so you can see what I was trying to do a bit clearer. Many thanks.

Well thank you folks, this one will now be saved. After all I take note of constructive criticism so I should do the same in this case of unexpected success of a unintentional shot. You will see it entered in a competition next

My husband was telling me about some Camo fishing hooks and I thought it was an April fool joke - sad thing is, it wasn't.

Hi and welcome, let us know when you get that nice new toy and lets see loads of your shots.

If it is wide angle you want you may find the 24 a bit disappointing as it is not as wide as you may hope, I am looking for a wide end zoom and would be happy with say 14-30 but there isn't one so I am still thinking about it.
