4 Feb 18 Comment Hi Erik
I would never have spotted the Coyote in a million years so for me this is a great spot as already said the animal is pin sharp which again is a feat in itself considering the amount of scrub around him amazing image that shows just hoe effective his camoflage is well done Erik.

4 Feb 18 Reply David I was just worried you didn't get it and you thought I had ignored you no problems about replying. You did correct it that upper right area and it just finishes off the image nicely good job.

4 Feb 18 Comment As always Gentlemen your advice has been taken on board and greatly appreciated. Feb 15th
4 Feb 18 Reply I may be biased but this makes a very good image a superb image well seen and well handled Isaac. Feb 15th
4 Feb 18 Comment Hi David
2 images in 2 months and you have introduced the group to 2 new techniques I certainly am very grateful for that.I really like this you have for me got the lighting spot on the shadows are really well controlled not jet black but detail within and the coloured spots add a real splash of colour contrast but do not overpower the image the lead in is spot on I may be a little OCD here but I would rather have seen the whole domino than it cropped part way through but thats me and you are the creator of this fine image I also like the way the dominoes are stacked at the back it gives a stop for the eye I might just see if I could darken the top right hand corner a touch more for uniformity but these are nit pics this is a very very well handled and superbly executed image you should be very proud of.
David i did e-mail you some detail of how I did my image and some editing info I hope you got it.

4 Feb 18 Comment Hi Guy
Normality resumed I was getting worried but at last another staircase and boy was it worth waiting for like you and Isaac I have to admit lying flat out to get a shot its the getting back up I need help with,the shapes within this image are superb and so strong that I hardly notice how bright the lights are even what I take to be a support bar does not detract but to me adds something to the image by your explanation of light and dark I can so see this but there are a myriad of interpretations more staircases please.

4 Feb 18 Comment Hi Isaac
The lighting on the pier really makes it stand out I love the textures on the pier and the encrusted barnacles really add to showing its age as Guy and Joe have already said I would crop the sky down to where those beautiful areas of colour start they add real interest and intensity to the image my other note the pylon in the very bottom of the picture just catches the eye and I find it a little distracting I would remove it unless you are entering it in photo travel.A very atmospheric image I really like.

4 Feb 18 Reply Many thanks Guy so appreciated I am going to enjoy trying out your final suggestion also looking forward to your talk at Hoylake early March. Feb 11th
4 Feb 18 Comment Hi Joe
Firstly an education I had never heard of a cenote before so thank you for your detailed description of it I do not blame you for not risking the walkways but shooting from above has given a fantastic perspective of area and shows it fully which you would not be able to have done from lower really well framed the colours compliment one another a fascinating image.

Thanks for your observations very much appreciated it is a grey marking on the sleeve of her costume and I see what you mean sometimes we get too close to our work and need someone looking over our shoulder to point out the obvious as for the pose I take absolutely no credit for this I have photographed a lot of these guys you just ask them to strike a pose and hey they go straight for it,its one shot every time I am guest photographer at Birmingham Horror Con and Liverpool Comic Con in the next few weeks. If there are any Comic Cons in your area go along these Cosplayers love to be photographed just ask politely and send them a copy by e-mail.

31 Feb 18 Comment Hi Ella
Fantastic detail throughout it as you said I imagine fantastic in colour but it really works in mono to lovely contrast and as Peter has already said the water effect just adds to the quality of the image well handled I love this.,

31 Feb 18 Comment Hi Ed
I love shapes in pictures and this is so well seen I love the composition of the chair the exposure is really good the light areas of the chair contrast so well with the darker areas the chair is so well handled and to me perfect my only problem is the back ground I would find a way of darkening it as although its nicely out of focus and not bright the arm of the chair leads me to the background and for me it lets a really good image down,but its your image and you know what you want to portray these are just my personal feelings.

31 Feb 18 Comment Hi Rashid
I think it appears slightly soft because it was shot on film and then scanned the scan can take away some of the definition good idea people tend to scan a picture not look properly and think box of eggs you have to study this to spot the tomato as Ella has already said I knew one of the items was not an egg but was not sure what it was I would have put it the other way up to show it was a tomato if in monochrome I think this would e a really good colour image,very clever image.

31 Feb 18 Comment Hi John
You captured the movement in the stream really well as Peter has already said well composed nicely framed with the rocks either side the fallen leaves add texture and interest I am with Peter on the upper left overhanging branches they are a bit bright and attracts the eye just tone that down a touch and you have a wonderful image.

31 Feb 18 Comment Hi Peter
Another wonderful image I love the delicacy of the lighting on the mountain ridge behind the church tonal range and contrast throughout superb the sky almost blends in with the mountains and adds atmosphere my only suggestion it looks really good cropped just below the first hump in the road.Another stunning landscape

45 Feb 18 Comment Hi Ed
A great composition superbly lit the contrast against the dark background works so well for me tonal range is really good throughout the ballerina my only thought if you could possibly reduce the highlights in the skirt and see if it brings back a touch of detail a superb portrait I really enjoyed seeing.
