17 Aug 20 Comment Just about got it spot on with this one. Sharp bird, great pose and composition and a perfect background. Aug 14th
17 Aug 20 Comment Not something you would like to meet on a dark night. I like the idea of including the museum in the image its architecture gives the scene a science fiction feel.Yo include all of the legs would have been nice, but you may of had to cut out some distractions. The mist adds to the scene. Aug 14th
17 Aug 20 Comment I love all the detail in this picture and it tells the story of Max. I do however like the cropped image that Joe has added, even if a lot of the story is cut out. Monochrome was the only way to do this. I hope he has a few Coventry made pocket watches in his collection, I volunteer at a local museum dedicated to the industry in my home town. Aug 14th
17 Aug 20 Comment A well caught moment, that look in the birds eye kind of says it all about what to do next. I like the close crop, and the sharpness, the background does not bother me. Aug 14th
17 Aug 20 Comment I like the story you are telling and the choice of monochrome helps. Just to add a bit of motion to the image how about setting on of the swings in action before getting the picture. I like the pool of water at the bottom. I think the position you took the image from is right. Aug 14th
17 Aug 20 Reply This reply covers a few of the comments. I appreciate that the locomotive is dark, it is dark green in colour. I had not noticed the cable spanning the whole image. I purposely composed the scene to include the lighthouse as it is so much a part of the location. My biggest bug is that in the mono version the smoke and steam is lost against the cloud. Aug 14th

19 Aug 20 Comment I like this the way it is, I do not feel the need to crop. The eye is led into the scene by the path, the bench a good place to rest. The hazy light is just fine. Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Comment I like the way you have captured the police car, the feeling of motion from the panning really works. I also would like to see a crop from the top. Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Comment I would agree with the crop from the right and I think you decision to turn it to mono was a good one. Overall the image is a touch on the dark side, a little more light would give a better idea of what is being discarded. Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Comment Often our black page means images with black backgrounds need a stroke round the edge to stop them blending into the page. This image works as it is, although I agree with Stan that you could do with a bit more space at the top. The backlighting has really made the details stand out. Well taken. Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Comment An interesting location for a portrait, with the addition of the dog to add more interest. Not sure on the positioning of the legs, it looks a touch uncomfortable and gives me the impression that she could unbalance into the water. Having said that it is well exposed, details in the blacks Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Comment I like this picture. The face peering from the foliage. As Stan says the rule breaking crop works. For me I would leave it as it is. Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Reply I agree about the tight crop, I will have another attempt when the conditions are right. Aug 15th
19 Aug 20 Reply Thanks Norm I will try a your suggestions, I just need to in position at the right time of day, the patterns are only there for around 30 mins if that, if the sun is out. Aug 15th
