4 Jun 18 Reply Didn't spot one! Jun 16th
4 Jun 18 Reply Barbara, I have often looked at other groups but not commented because I didn't like to intrude (English reserve?). Your comment is encouraging me to join in more. Jun 10th
4 Jun 18 Reply I like the flip. Jun 9th
4 Jun 18 Reply 2000 shots in one day! Your shutter finger needs physiotherapy! Jun 9th
4 Jun 18 Comment Bill, this is a very dramatic shot. The word 'stark' came to my mind and then I saw that David had beaten me to it! The hard black and white treatment really suits this shot. I agree with David about the Tampa Convention sign, but that can happen when resampling down to the size for the web. Just two small points. I would take out the bright light in the middle of the left hand edge, and I feel that the verticals at the right are leaning slightly to the left. Jun 9th
4 Jun 18 Reply It didn't really worry me. It shows continuity of the pattern on the wall. Jun 9th
4 Jun 18 Reply Isaac, I think that is what was really wanted. My suggested crop was a little too tight but I couldn't think of any alternative at the time. I do enjoy the very low key aspect of this image. Jun 9th
4 Jun 18 Comment Great shot Ian. I envy you having the opportunity to be there. Exposure, focus and lighting are dead right and you have chosen a position where you can just see the pilot's position (and he can see you!). I wouldn't bother trying to clone out the caravans as that would be very difficult. I suggest you simply darken them a little so that they merge more into the background. Would you consider cropping some of the foreground tarmac? I can't decide whether I would prefer that or not. Jun 9th
4 Jun 18 Reply Hi Stephen. Funnily enough I spotted that image in Group 08 just before I shut down for the night yesterday. I will take up your suggestion. Jun 5th
4 Jun 18 Reply Thanks David. I might try lightening those dark areas, but I quite liked the little highlight on the 'nose' of the building. Jun 5th
4 Jun 18 Comment Good capture, Erik. The bird's eye is sharp and there is much good detail in the body feathers. The plain, out of focus background has just enough detail for us to see that it is real. Composition is good too, with the line of the body and neck coming from the corner of the frame. Jun 3rd
4 Jun 18 Comment David, you have caught the moment with this shot. The smile is certainly spontaneous and really shows what the lady is feeling at that moment.It is sharp and well exposed, and well framed with a nicely out of focus background. Getting all these things right is something that only comes with lots of practice in these circumstances. The fill flash has worked well, though I'm not sure how you do that discreetly! Jun 3rd
4 Jun 18 Comment A very eye-catching image Joe. The vertical bars, the balls and the floor tiles all demand inspection in their own right as well as being components of the composition as a whole. This is an image which I keep coming back to. Jun 3rd
4 Jun 18 Comment A very different picture from what you normally do, Isaac! There is a wonderful air of mystery about this image, created by shooting through the glass door and the curtain. This is enhanced by the conversion to mono which creates a timeless feel. I like it vey much but I would prefer it to be cropped on the left to eliminate the glass to the left of the frame. I find the uncontained light area at the left to be quite distracting. Jun 3rd

8 Jun 18 Comment Hi Marcus. You have a super shot of this iconic building with excellent evening light. I like the way the lights inside show up the interior of the building. My image in Group 04 was taken in the hard light of midday. Looks like I'll have to go back! My shot was taken on 20th May and I am still working through the images having only just got home. When were you there? Jun 5th

12 Jun 18 Comment Nice shot with wonderful light, Ally. I like the blurred motion of the waves, and the gull was the icing on the cake. I have a friend who pans along the line of the waves with a slow shutter speed to get some quite unusual shots. Maybe worth a try sometime? Jun 6th

15 Jun 18 Comment Rick, how could you not like that superb cloud? You have got a nice base with the land in the foreground, and allowed that beautifully lit cloud to dominate the scene. I have just a couple of suggestions. You could use the Shadows/Highlights adjustment in Photoshop to lighten the foreground a little, and I would just crop out that half tree on the right. Jun 13th
15 Jun 18 Comment Great image, Carmen. It reminds me of the Polar Co-ordinates filter in Photoshop, but this is better. Keep up the playing! Jun 13th

30 Jun 18 Comment I like the overall mood and I would keep the window and the bartender. I would just take out the four ceiling lights (Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop). Jun 10th

31 Jun 18 Comment I find the Shadows/Highlights adjustment in Photoshop to be very useful in lifting the shadows, usually followed by a contrast boost in Curves. Super waterfall shot. Jun 16th
31 Jun 18 Comment John, you could create an interesting abstract by using Find Edges (Filter>Stylise>Find Edges) and then using an Invert adjustment layer. Jun 16th

76 Jun 18 Reply Phew! I thought the B1 must have grown an extra tail plane - hardly compatible with Mach 1.2. Nice shot Trey. Your grunge effect works nicely on the aircraft though I agree with the others about the sky. Jun 10th
