33 Oct 23 Reply To be honest I don't blame you. It is wonder place. Oct 15th
33 Oct 23 Reply I quite liked them slightly behind the branch as I got the feeling of the secret bridge in the woods. Oct 11th
33 Oct 23 Comment People are most welcome in building shot, one they give another focal point to allow the viewer to settle in the image, two they give great scale to your building.
Your issue here is the camera has concentrated on the people and forgot about the building, ways around it, take two image one for the people and one for the building, the other up your F stop to F11 and focus on the bridge edge to get both.
Try this image in black and white.		 Oct 11th
33 Oct 23 Comment Can I give a little bit of advice, when taking images in this sort of light you should not completely trust your camera. It will do a good job, but never do a great job as it is fighting the light and will over compensate and will always blow the whitest white's.
It is always a good idea to have your camera EV set to half a stop to even a stop under exposed to compensate for the light leak. I always have my camera set to half a stop under in all conditions. You can always bring the shadows back but you cannot save to whites. If you had that the boat would not have been blown out.
Otherwise this is a lovely image with a good balance and some nice colours. If you have lightroom you can tone down a touch quite easy on the sky.
Its a better than the rain we have.		 Oct 11th
33 Oct 23 Comment The first question, is the bell tower the original as it is built our of old stone where the church seems to be built out of a more modern stone. The image does have a nice feel to it and you do have just the right reflection on the water to bring the viewer into the image. If it was mine I would agree and desaturate the sky a touch as it is very powerful. Great record of the building.
I would love to see a much wider shot to see how it sits in the landscape.		 Oct 11th
33 Oct 23 Comment This is another lovely timed seascape, your timing is just about right, you could brighten the white surf parts a touch but that is minor. I do look at this a wonder if you actually need the stuff on the right and make it more of a simple image with the rocks in the foreground and that rock in the distance. The shape of that water holds the image. Oct 11th
33 Oct 23 Comment Wow you were lucky, normally you cannot get an image this clear as there is so many people around it. It is a shame that the scaffold, but your light and colour control is perfect. That is one you can tick off your bucket list. Petra next then lol. Oct 11th
33 Oct 23 Comment As a geological shot showing off the striation of the earth in that spot it is fantastic and has some wonderful colours and textures to view. But it is hard to hold your view. But if you had done a more square format and included more of the river and the broken reflection it would of given the lead and head the views eye. Must be fabulous to see. Oct 11th

39 Oct 23 Reply I love it. I got to hung up with the windows. Oct 15th
39 Oct 23 Comment I think your set-up and subject is great and the see-through of the Hosta is great. But I have simple taste and I like the see what I am looking at. I find that border detracts from the image and I would like to see the image without it. Oct 11th
39 Oct 23 Comment I have to agree this is great for being that close to get this shot, I do have to agree it does come across a touch busy in the frame in monochrome as the differentials are not strong enough to hold, but the colour is much better and may be the way to go with this image. Must have been wonderful. Oct 11th
39 Oct 23 Comment What camera?
This is wonderful for me and is a stunning Cathedral ceiling. I think this would be worth a train journey just to shot this Cathedral based on this image. Is this hand held? Looks special and another to add to the list, Thank you for sharing.		 Oct 11th
39 Oct 23 Comment Well done, you have controlled the lighting well as those lights would have made it difficult. The detail is spot on and the tones are just right for the chapel. Considering this is an iPhone this is very good. Oct 11th
39 Oct 23 Comment Shame the light was so harsh on the day, but you have done well and have nearly all the heads separated, The B&W conversion is a step up from the colour, but I thick the poor Scotsman on the end may not think so. Good honour to be chosen, hope it went well. Oct 11th
39 Oct 23 Comment This has the potential to be a lovely image and the flowers at the back are lovely and your little visitor is just right.
I like the varying decay of the heads and the focus is spot on. But I cannot get away from that horror in the right corner that just stops you from entering the image and enjoy what's there. But a few mins work with the remove tool and the clone stamp tool so no AI. you can resolve. He is a quick show.		 Oct 11th
