33 Jul 24 Comment What this does for me is show how much camera's have moved on in the past five years, where now you have shoot this with no noise at 5000 ISO. I am sorry for me this does not work, the cars are cropped and the buildings are filled in to much, I also dislike noise. This is not one for me. Jul 9th
33 Jul 24 Comment There are some lovely rock formations, your tonal work is pretty good but your whites are just going over, your composition leads the viewers eye to the flat water in the center, if you had move the camera to the right a touch and separated the furthest rock out it would have been drawn there which would have been stronger. Good effort. Jul 9th
33 Jul 24 Comment When you first open this image it impacts your senses with great effect, you struggle to see where to go first. But then you start to see the individual wonders, the patterns, the shapes, the colours and those wonderful three pigeons sitting there waiting for you to take their picture. Oh I wish I had taken this one, right up my street. That central drain pipe holds the image together so well. Well done and well spotted. Jul 9th
33 Jul 24 Comment This is a great scene and well composed, the main rock is well placed in the frame and works just right. The spray is lovely, For me I would like just a touch more tonality, but that is just my taste's. This will serve you well with whatever you want to do with this. Jul 9th

33 Jul 24 Comment This is a lovely scene and shows off the Church well, was it not used in a film of the WW2 starring Roger Moore. You have chosen a cinematic view that shows off how it sits in its environment. The water and the far land does give it the scale you need for the area it sits, cropping the image would spoil it, you would need a different angle to achieve the crop. That little boat speeding away does give great scale.
But to show what I mean here are two examples, photoshop doing it thing. Then cropped.		 Jul 9th
33 Jul 24 Comment You have been very lucky to have the opportunity to visit this place, seen many lectures of this amazing place and this log has featured in most of them.
The light and colours are fantastic and are a photographers dream and you have placed this in the frame well.
Thank you for sharing and hope to see more. 		Jul 9th

39 Jul 24 Comment Hello and welcome to our group, good first image. The tree is nicely placed on the third but kept in the centre line and the bright patch of grass in the foreground holds the image together. There is a nice wispy sky. When doing black and white use your histogram and insure there is a black and white then give the tones in the middle.
I have done two versions done through Silver Efex 6 using more silver. The first is straight the second is cleaned. As you can see from the first your sensor needs a clean as you have a lot of micro dust on it. black and white conversion does show it up in the sky.
Good starting image.		 Jul 23rd
39 Jul 24 Comment Another nice stage shot with the dancer in a good position, shame you are not in more of a straight angle to the face. There is potential in this but it depends on your photoshop skills. I had a quick fiddle to give you an idea, hope you like. Jul 9th
39 Jul 24 Comment This is where the phone comes into its own, catches this type of shot better than a camera I think. You show it off so well, and I love that guttering edge. Just adds something. Its a lovely shop. Jul 9th
39 Jul 24 Comment The conversion is brilliant, the detail and tonality you have gained from going mono is brilliant. There are some lovely tones in the grasses and those eyes grab you. Nice catch. Jul 9th
