Comments welcome. Background??

Neat concept. Like it. Maybe could be cropped closer.

Just playin' :)

The little guy had a cold...red cheeks and snotty nose. Cropped from

full bodied shot on a playground slide. Cheers! Clive

"I could almost begin to like Canada geese, after viewing this image." Funny Malcolm. I understand what you mean. These are wild country geese although they spend daytime in a park/marsh across the road..they STAY there and don't come over and defile my yard!

 

In many parts they are simply "rats with feathers." I think that's what you meant. :)

Evening light. Comments welcome. Cheers! Clive

David: I like dog images..they are most difficult. This is almost a great shot. That dark lump behind the right eye is simply too distracting and some light on the left eye which is in shade would have made this a rather classic image. Best wishes, Clive

Hi Jenny! Great shot of the two kids. As noted, sweet expressions. There are some technical "flaws," but, most importantly, you have capture the essence of the children. Very good. Cheers! Clive

 

PS: I have been blessed to have traveled to China eleven times. I love the people and the kids are so sweet. I go to the "north" and in some villages I suspect I am one of the few "white" people the children have seen. I am rather a novelty! It is much fun for me.

 

The fact is great!! Tha hand in front of the mouth and Pepsi sign are distractiong.

Thanks to all for your warm comments and ratings. Makes me happy. Thank you.

 

Yes, Chris I feel my decision to purchase the Konica Minolta 7D was wise. It has excellent features not available on the other mainstream DSLRs. :) Clive

I am an avid fly fisherman. I just love this picture. A misty cool morning .. sweet! Thanks. Clive

WOW!

Fabrication of two images layered in PS etc etc.

Has some real potential. I feel there is too much foreground out of focus in the lower right. Great colors.

Comments on lighting welcome. Thank you. Clive

I am really looking for some feedback

a) on the lighting on the couple--it was a tough situation, and

b) on the tree surrounding...I already softened the saturation on

the left tree truck...more?

c) on the overall lighting. Is it too faked? I like the effect, but

am concerned about the overall light effects.

Comments on lighting welcome.

Thanks,

Clive

Warm difuse light from fall-colored leaves in tree. Cheers! Clive

I am lucky to have these wild birds right across the road. Cheers!

Sweet! Clouds are so interesting. Thanks. Clive

Lightened lower part. No color changes to clouds. Cheers! Clive

Pretty morning. Zero manipulations at all here. Just the way it was

for a few minutes. Cheers! Clive

Thanks. No tricks here. An old weathered granary just after sunrise. Great wood in nice light. Tech stuff straight forward: Waited 80 years after construction, got up real early, f9, ISO 100, 28mm, tripod, I may have used polarizer--looks like it compared to others..I don't have speed..probably 1/30 or so...maybe less.
