4 Apr 24 Comment Hi Vella
A sight I am so used to seeing in our beautiful countryside,I did think looking at your original image that was more as i would expect I think you did overdo the greens,Guys edit is more inline with how I would expect the moorland countryside.
The signpost does not bother me as it is part of the scene,so love the sheep scattered across the fellside.		 Apr 9th
4 Apr 24 Comment Hi Guy
Looking back I feel clutter was a very unkind term I should have used the term essential equipment,so my apologies to the brave men who go out in these small boats in all conditions.
This is so the sort of image that attracts me we see the whole enviroment it tells a story,it makes you investigate every inch of the image to look at everything and then re visit because you are sure you probably missed something.
Some may say the light draws the eye the light lets you know these men work all hours and is part of the story.
I was wondering about Vella's point maybe the seagull is the security guard.

4 Apr 24 Comment Hi Bill
Cyclist ideally placed in the frame panning spot on I know this can be tricky as I cover a lot of airshows,the shutter speed was slow enough to blur the spokes in the wheels which gives that feeling of speed and movement background beautifully blurred think you may have missed your vocation as a sports photographer.

4 Apr 24 Comment Hi Isaac
Most people would not have given this a second look you saw the potential and made the most of it,simplicity, minimalism call it what you will I love it. 		Apr 6th
4 Apr 24 Reply Many thanks Isaac I did make a mistake in the diagnosis it was a ulcer on the cornea thats why I do not have M.D. after my name, as I write Lesley has 1 more day to go with her eye drops thankfully only 3 times a day now and the eye is thankfully all healed. I would love to give Lesley a hug for you but she would not thank for it because I am just getting over being diagnosed with viral influenza so she is wisely keeping her distance.
You are spot on Isaac the Buccaneer was mainly a carrier borne aircraft though this one spent its entire career in the service of the R.A.F.		 Apr 5th

The Buccaneer was primarily a Royal Navy carrier borne aircraft as can be seen by the folding wings allowing it to be stored below deck,this one spent its entire career with the R.A.F. and the type was used in the first Gulf war. 		Apr 5th

I beleive this was one of the few Buccaneers that spent its service life with the R.A.F. not the Royal Navy.
Delivered to the RAF in November 1976, XX900 began her career with 208 Squadron at RAF Honington and was one of the few jets to receive desert camouflage for a Red Flag deployment to the USA in 1977. She later went on to serve with 216 and 12 Squadrons, and in 1983 took part in Operation Western Fox over in Florida, firing live Martel missiles against target ships (old hulks, naturally!). And in 1983 she was one of the trials aircraft for the ALE-40 chaff & flare dispensers, fitted in a hurry to support operations over Beirut. In 1984 she returned to 208 Squadron and in 1986 she was upgraded to carry Sea Eagle missiles. By July 1987 was back with the Squadron, going on to serve with 12 Squadron, 237 OCU and 12 once more, being fitted with smaller wingtips at some point after 1989. She finished her career with 208 Squadron and was flown into retirement with 19 MU at RAF St. Athan in 1994.

4 Apr 24 Comment Hi Gary
I love the way you have gone in close most would have tried to get the whole yacht,I do like close in work what I call intimate shots,you have an almost mono background which makes the sailors clothing and the sails really pop,there is movement in the sail and the outer port side hull,for me its perfectly cropped.
I think Isaac is your man to advise on photo travel,but it may also be a contender for PJ. 		Apr 5th

31 Apr 24 Comment Hi Ella
I am not sure how you managed to achieve this effect but as soon as i looked at it the tone the lighting looks of the time these cameras were at their prime you have taken us back in time.
Ella your imagination has always so impressed me with your still life images but this is beyond exceptional its my absolute favourite not just because of the set up but the toning,lighting and timeless quality.		 Apr 9th
31 Apr 24 Comment Hi Susan
You have handled the exposure very well bright white wedding dress and the darker suit of the man both have great detail.
I am slightly opposite to Ella I find my eye being taken by the post between them and find it a distraction. 		Apr 8th
31 Apr 24 Comment Hi Peter
This is so atmospheric,beautifully put together I especially love the movement of the water and the tonal range. 		Apr 7th
31 Apr 24 Comment Hi John
Again something different from your roving eye,for me its a pattern picture all I would suggest to strengthen it would be to crop down to the top of the fence rail.		 Apr 6th
