Good macro, and nice use of cropping. However I do find the shadow around the petals at the top rather distracting

Another cracking good shot. Your portfolio is awesomely powerful with genuine emotion. Bravo sir!

November 28, 2003

Very powerful image.

Very nice, I will be trying this technique. Thanx

Very nice, unusual too. Is that the king walking round the corner in the background - avoiding having his picture taken by any chance??

The Kursaal amusement arcade has been a feature of Southend seafront

longer than I have been alive, and it has been completely rebuilt in

the past few years after a being all but destroyed by a major fire.

The buildings main feature has always been its intensely exciting

lights, especially on the dome, and thats what I wanted to capture

with this shot. I have used PS6's neon light filter to highlight the

lighting and remove all other features of the building, and then

added the fireworks as a seperate layer. The fireworks were taken on

the same day, but in a different location (there is only a housing

estate behind the Kursaal now). So what do you think..?

This is truly awesome, well done!

Great pictures but I dont think the two different formats work together (portrait and landscape). It feels a bit unbalenced to me

November 25, 2003

Well conceived and laid out, I find the reflection of the right candle a little distracting though

November 25, 2003

Cute, and a gorgeously detailed print too

November 25, 2003

Wow. One of my favourites of the type so far

November 25, 2003

I prefer this version from the one you posted a few days ago. Works much better as a picture of a picture than a stand alone image

November 25, 2003

Beautiful, very well done

A vertigo inducing view of a spiral staircase. No manipulation other

than to tweak the contrast level slightly

Whatever your on - I'll have a double! LOL!

November 24, 2003

Nice, very subtle

November 24, 2003

Nice shot, I do like water reflections and this is a great example. Shame the sky is so underexposed would be my only criticism

November 24, 2003

Excelent picture. You clearly have a fine artistic eye. I agree that photography is no longer bound to the medium of film, and i think you are to be congratulated on your courage to present this image. I suspect you may be heavily criticised for it, but hope not! Good luck

The crowd in the foreground definately make this picture, especially the silouette against what I guess is the bonfire (?). I'm yet to take a picture of fireworks that I'm happy with, so I will be watching to see what advice you receive.
