Any Comments on composition

Hi, the kids were looking down into a small harbour, watching the fish. So I guess the leads were a good idea.

I know some folks treat kids worse than dogs but isn't this going a

bit far?

Ballanced ? (Not me you understand, no question 'bout that ;)

Comments sought

Lion down good one.

As Andrew said, Deutsch Origin ... Doh!

BTW. "Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika" = "United States of America" in Deutsch.

Open Wide!

Compositional comments welcome.

To crop or not to crop that is the question.

Very funny picture original too. Maybe a wider crop to give the horse a little more head room. Great fun.

An interesting compostion, the background is a little cluttered, would benefit from a shallower DOF. The window is a powerful aspect, but the ground is a little distracting.

The exposure is a little off, the highlights are somewhat blown, but you managed to expose the face quiet well, which is harder with darker skin tones. Maybe a slightly different crop and some blurring of the background could bring it up a point.

Thanks Oliver but that'l be the grass, it's green in Yorkshire ;)

A cold lonely place?

I removed the DA from the Drakes head in PS the orig is here.

Made me smile, even as he chased me.

Thanks Matthew, I think it is a combination of lense and yes these walls are very old, 200 years plus, and so not quiet as straight as they perhaps were.

Correction applied to the distortion on right wall

Thanks Matt, I see what you mean, I will give it a go.

Does the tone reflect the age of the lane?

I got this far with trial and error, and would be greatfull for any tips on strobing, SB28 used.

I had enough fun trying to capture some bees in flight the other day, now this is something special, what flash setting did you use, or is this really a no flash shot.

One really small thought, I am best at them, perhaps the bird could do with a little more space, especially to fly into. I see you had some space to play with so only a thought, the shot itself stands as a great one well done.

Regards Mark.

I like this shot both for its simplicity and for its originality, the colours are not harmonious but they work, the one can #3 from the right adds a little chaos to the colour scheme. Really nice work. Regards Mark.

Almost an abstract hard to believe it is a lifeform, very striking blue, seems to blue some how, how was it lit. I would recommend you change the text or remove it is way to overpowering and distracts the eye, I think the camera make is unnecessary, unless you are running ads for Sony.

The jpeg thing is a problem for all of us the recompression software is making a reall mess out of some pictures, and recompressing even when they are under the limit.

Nice image very unusal, would be interested in a little info on the technicals used here, light etc.

Regards Mark.

Thanks Jon, after a lot of shots, I finally got the hang of the strobe and managed a reasonable range for the DOF.
