33 Nov 21 Comment I am so amazed how nature can make such perfect spots to sit and just let the world pass you by for a couple of hours and just forget everything, may even have a little nap. That tree is looking so inviting, perfectly shaped for a nice rest and giving you a perfect picture to watch just develop over time. What more do you need? Thank you nature, see it gets it right if you leave it alone.
Raymond as you can imagine I love this one.

33 Nov 21 Comment This looks a fabulous place to have a play with a camera and you have shown us a lovely picture to wet our apatite.
When I first looked at this my first thought was the same as Lin and a crop would help the image, but I now changed my mind and this is the better way to show this off. Its all about those layers of rock that have been formed over the centuries.
I love the tones and colours that are formed in the rocks and in a way the waterfalls now come second. I do wonder if a touch more at the top to give a bit more perspective of the location may help.
Fabulous shot.

33 Nov 21 Comment A pleasing image of the Tower and how its sits in the surroundings. For this image and the amount of light you have around you F4 is to shallow. F8 or F11 would have been more suitable. If you are going to include the rocks in the foreground they should be in focus and F11 the tower would have been perfect. A touch more contrast would help as you are a touch shallow on the darks edge. These little things lift images. This tower would then stand proud in its surroundings. Nov 10th
33 Nov 21 Comment Very strong piece of long exposure imaging, 141s on Bulb is fun, so how many attempts did it take to get the right timing. Something to be very proud of. Nov 10th
33 Nov 21 Comment Nearly a perfect V image, simple in its construct and pleasant to view. The bird was very obliging to pop in and photobomb you.
Now I do wonder if you could crop the bottom and make this a perfect V image and there is either a damaged pixel or something nasty in the sky marked by red arrow.

33 Nov 21 Comment Yes this does look like a fantastic building to explore and photograph and there is many opportunities for some fantastic images, but you have chosen to show a small part of an image that moves it away from the building itself and more to the angles it makes. To this front I think you may have given us to much, the inclusion of the edge of the second set of the windows is breaking the angles of the images which is the lines of the windows to the line of the roof to the plane. Cropping this second set away makes the image stronger for me and work on the angles of the image. Nov 10th

39 Nov 21 Comment I look at this and all I can hear is the theme from the "Big Country" and a vision of John Wayne riding across the scene. Its big and beautiful and what I like to see. Personally I would only change one thing and its very little as it catches my eye, on the edges of the clouds in the way it forms is a blob and it stands out and now I have spotted it out better you cannot help but look at it.
I did try and see if bringing out the mountain touch, but I think the black mountains frame the tree. and I also bought back the highlights in the clouds. The red arrow is for the BLOB.
Lovely picture.

39 Nov 21 Comment Now you don't say where this is, this could be in any big town in the North of England specially if it was a mining town as this looks like a normal terrace house that we have thousands on thousands. Three things gave it away that its not the England, the windows, never see them in UK houses, lamppost would never be mounted to the houses and not a car in sight.
But I am going to have to disagree with the other two, this tone and darkness is just what these terrace houses look like. They have started to clean them up but a lot of them will have incased coal dust from the decades of miners walking home from work. I not sure if I would have included the turning mirror in the image.

39 Nov 21 Comment My first impression was WOA!. There is a lot in this image. The image overall has potential but you as the photographer has given us as the viewer a lot to look at and in my mind to much.
I find the tree encroaching at the top is to much and draws my eye, the rubbish and the drift wood at the bottom does not add to the image.
But that bit in the middle is lovely and draws you through the image with the lovely flow of the river. It needs some scissors.

39 Nov 21 Comment A good travel documentary shoot that shows off the young doing manual labor with the big sacks. You tell us what the situation is but this could be a village in any part of the poor India or Burma or any other country in that region. It is a shame that you have not got the image of them coming at you, that may have been more dramatic. But this is a strong and well taken image. Nov 10th
39 Nov 21 Comment This is a great capture of a moment in time that has two very important parts that's lift this image from the norm. The first is the perfect line of the cloud complementing the line of the cranes. The second is the second crane having the wings dropped. These two parts lift a good image a strong image.
Also the larger you view this the better it get as the Cranes get sharper in the frame. Well done.

39 Nov 21 Reply You should be ok on this one, I think to do one rotation of the wheel is 30 minutes so you get to enjoy the full view of London. Just remember to visit the convivence before boarding. Nov 10th
