Absolutely stunning. Thank you :)

I love the silhouette and the position of the woman and the bird, but in my opinion, the contrast of the image is a bit low. Also, the black 'bit' a third of the way down on the right hand edge of the photograph is distracting.

Caru (pronounced 'carry') is Welsh for love. As I'm sure you know,

Caru died on 11 April 2005 and only now do I feel ready to process

some of the images I took before she died.

 

I shot this portrait about three weeks before she died and it is a

particularly good representation of her character and our relationship.

 

I'd appreciate your comments, especially on the technical quality of

the protrait.

What a shame the lead is so visible.

I like the effect, but I would have preferred a bit more detail in the blown out face.

Dogs are a bit too far apart, so my eye keeps bouncing from one to the other

I'd have preferred to have seen all the left ear.

What a lovely dog portrait. What is he thinking?

 

Good composition and great crop. Good range of B&W tones.

 

Well done.

Not really my kind of thing, but very well executed.

This is a stunning close-up of a cat's (?) ear. Well done.

This was a lucky 'grab' shot as I wanted to have some good images of

Caru before she died.

 

I'd appreciate your comments. Thank you.

This is our older dog, Caru. Caru (pronounced 'carry') is Welsh for love. I wanted to name our younger dog, Cash, so we could have "Cash 'n' Caru", but I was overruled by my better half!

 

I hate to be anthropomorphic, but in this image Caru appears to be winking and saying 'Alright Mum?!'

 

Sadly, Caru had cancer (lymphoma) and her condition deteriorated after this photograph was taken and she was put to sleep on 11 April 2005. So I'm posting this picture as a tribute to her courage and character.

 

This photograph was taken on 28 March 2005 and shows Caru's sense of humour and love of tennis balls.

Thank you for your comments. I must admit that I hadn't noticed the mattress was on a slant....I'll pay more attention next time!

Fantastic image.

Lovely image. I especially like the complimentary background colours.

Scares me!

I was playing around with the reflections in my bedroom mirror and I

was intrigued by the subtleness of this self-portrait.

At the start of 1992, I had an accident that fractured five vertebrae

and two ribs and damaged one of my kidneys. This accident changed my

life. I spent long periods in hospital and eventually lost my job.

Losing my job, meant that I can now work with people who choose to

employ me for my skills and gives me time to persue other interests,

such as photography.

 

This image shows the visible scars of my accident.

Such a happy dog. Good capture.

I was enrolled on a People Photography course and our first assignment

was to photograph ourselves. In common with many photographers, I hate

having my picture taken: even if I'm the one taking the photograph.

So, I made several images which didn't involve anything too

recognisable. I've always thought that my feet were two of my best

features: if nothing else, they are very, very useful.

 

I'd appreciate your comments. Thank you
