33 Dec 18 Reply I do feel for you as we has a situation similar but not to your extreme in 2007. It rained for weeks and the drains could not take any more and burst and the natural path was through our house and about 30 other houses on route to the river Chelt. Took us a few months to dry it out, but our neighbours were out for over a year. Do hope you sort it out soon. Dec 10th
33 Dec 18 Comment You have capture a lovely Autumn view of the vast woodland of Wolf Creek. Pin sharp to the front with all the layers showing off. The only thing visual that is wrong is the heads of the clouds are burnt out and chopped off, but the colours and trees are lovely.

I have tired the image with the head of the clouds cropped off and I have put a two layer Vignette, Lighter one the foreground and a darker one laid over the enhance the shadows. But your image works as it is but I would go back to the original to see if you have any detail in the clouds. 		Dec 8th
33 Dec 18 Comment There is a house that we drive past often that we have coveted for a very long time and have always said that if we won the Lottery we would go a buy it. It's a big art's an craft house set in six aches of gardens and the front of the house has this beautiful woodland full of wildlife. It was sold six months ago for £175 million. About $200mil. The first thing they did was chop the woodland down, then then dug the garden up and now are building two more houses in the garden. All under the guise of progress and money. It has ruin the neighbourhood and displace all the nature from the woodland.
Your picture sums this up. I think we need to take a step back and stop. Some progress is ridiculous. Thank you for sharing. Nice house by the way.		 Dec 8th
33 Dec 18 Comment I am hearing that from quite a few people that have visited the Arches and have come back disappointed owing to the number of people there.
Here you have captured a very simple image that shows off the majesty of the stacks against the vastness of the open space you have there. The small moon adds to the image. If the image was mine I would have a look at the original to see if I could draw a touch more detail out of the base.
But as for the Arches, maybe the trick is looking for other images around the area than stick with that one famous image that everyone is taking. 		Dec 8th
33 Dec 18 Comment I love the way the natural shape of the landscape draws you into the centre and the focal point of the image. Your composition is very good and I like the amount of sky you have allowed us to see. The two main colour groups compete and compliment each other and your DOF is just right for the image at F11. But I do wish those first trees were pin sharp as that would lift this image to the next level and make this image really pop. But very good choice for an image. Dec 8th

39 Dec 18 Comment This is sad to me as I had a really nice display right up till the first frost and then I walk out one morning and they were all gone.
This is very gritty and has some lovely tones in the head. I agree about that left hand corner leaf catches the eye. and if you were very good with PS I would tone down the far background. Otherwise very nice image.		 Dec 15th
39 Dec 18 Comment A lovely Architectural image showing off the lines and structure of the different shapes and designs. Great tonality. All I do know, I do not want to be on the top floor of that building. Vertigo or what. Dec 15th
39 Dec 18 Comment The shape and lines you have composed here leads you the viewer to the beauty of that mountain top just appearing through the clouds which is very lovely. In the monochrome version I fine the left hand side loses its strength, where with the colour it is held by the blue.


I have tried a crop for the mono version just as an idea, but I agree I think the colour version is much stronger.		 Dec 15th
39 Dec 18 Comment Photographically this is a wonderful picture that has been produced and presented perfectly and tells a story of our time in so many way and that is a sad thing. You vignetting is perfect for the lovely shape that he makes.

Sadly this is now becoming to common, every week I visit Cheltenham Highstreet and there seems to be another one or two new person moved into a doorway or alleyway and in this modern times this gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider by the day.

Really beautiful sad image. Thank you for sharing. 		Dec 7th
39 Dec 18 Comment I have to agree with David this does look like a place I would not want to be when it was in full operation. But it is very nice of them to leave it in this state for the photographers to come along. In the UK this would have been flattened and 200 houses would have been up by now.

Now I am a lover of monochrome, but on this occasion I think the colour is stronger as I think the colour holds the image together. When you remove the colour the image becomes very busy for my eyes and the base of the pillar in red is so strong. But in the monochrome the pillar and the machine far right fight for your attention. Then the motteled light just makes it very busy where the colour helped to hide this light.
I have done an idea for a crop but you lose the machine on the right.
