Thabks for all the comments on the colour. I took my version of the image from the website back into Photoshop and analysed four points. These are on the clouds and circled in red. The RGB colours are given alongside. As you can see, there is on all points an overall blue cast with a very small amount of red, which might well look like a magenta tinge. For the clouds to be pure white, all RGB values should be the same. However, a slight blue cast in the clouds seems to be acceptable. My apologies for the tiny amount of red getting through. |

My favourite non-alc drink in the USA was root beer. |

Happy Birthday for Friday!
Next time you're at Cosford, take a look at the TSR2. I was the engineer allocated to that aircraft (XR220) when I was in Flight Test at Warton. |

Looks like a difference in monitor displays between us. I have an Eizo which has a built-in calibrator and I do it every 200 hours (when it reminds me). Maybe others in the group can say what the two images look like to them? |

What do you do with all the beers afterwards? :) |

Excellent shot Ian, all the more so since you had to lash up a temporary attachment for the camera to the tripod. It has all the atmosphere of a night-time 'readiness' situation. It is well composed and cropped, and there is just the right amount of light in the sky. I feel a certain affinity for the Phantom because on my 70th birthday Paula gave me an hour flying a genuine ex-RAF Phantom simulator. I had flown light aircraft many years previously and had a wonderful hour in the Phantom, even landing on an aircraft carrier. |

Erik, for a moment when I looked at this image I thought you had been to England, until I took a closer look at the farm buildings! The colours are restful and the composition is great with the road leading the eye into the image. As Bill says, an iconic calendar shot. Should look good as a large print. |

It's all good, David - the lighting, the focus, the colour, the background. I find it interesting that something as delicate as a rose can be portrayed as a strong powerful image, and it comes over very well. I must say that if I were doing this kind of work I would have to use a tripod, otherwise I would have problems with focus and composition. The flower may not move around, but I do! |

Bill, the treatment suits the image very well and has produced a delicate painterly effect that results in a very restful picture. I think it will look very good as a large print, especially on an art paper. I think you were right to flip it ot suit our western way of seeing from left to right, following the line of the head. The change from green in the foreground to orange/brown in the background also works very well. |

You've done a very good job here to photograph this famous building. I think it's inevitable with something this high that you will end up with perspective distortion, so you might as well not try to correct it (funny how the camera sees it but the eye doesn't). The sky is quite dramatic and is equally as strong as the mian subject, so I tried an increase in contrast (Curves S-shape) to provide more tonal separation. Also, I feel that there is a slight cyan cast on the image so I applied a little colour correction, and then I pulled down the brightness of the sky in the lower left. |

There are some wonderful colours in the structure of this mausoleum, really showing up the degree of neglect. One presumes that the occupant has no remaining relatives or friends to look after it. This image without the explanation is rather enigmatic and makes one wonder about the situation. It would work well in a set of images showing the context, and also the contrast with other graves. As it stands, it combines the beauty of the faded structure with the macabre aura of the exposed skull. It's not an image you can ignore. |
