there is a good idea there but the angle of view, the lighting and not seeing the leaves caught under the step make it a very bland shot in my opinion. there is something good there so just try more shots of the area

would love to have seen a larger dof but it was probably technically impossible. great framing of the two guys and a really nice conversion to black and white. i wonder what the shot would've looke like if you'd taken a step to the left to get more of the singer in the frame?

i love the idea. at a lot of concerts it's hard to get a position where you can get this kind of view. care to upload the uncropped version so we can see the full image? for me, it's a great idea but let down by the stage lighting. the stage should be the focal point from which you start looking around your photo. but the moment you photographed, the stage is very dark. would be nicer if you got a point where the lights where shining onto the crowd as often happens at the end of songs etc. also, final criticism, i'd crop the girl and the guy on the far right and left as I find them distracting to the whole overview of the arena

i don't think the angle of her arm and the small dof work that well in this case. also, another small critique, maybe warm the picture up a little, as green light doesn't flatter any girl

playing about with some ideas for some shots for a new Dublin singer

and this is one idea we like. It needs a bit more digital tidying up

but what else could I do to improve. As much constructive criticism

as you can offer please.

really good angle and the spotlight gives the background some interest. pity it was just so dark cos it is a bit grainy

It would have been good to get the background directly behind his face to be the great blue evening sky instead of the dark stage. Maybe a little underexposed for his face.

A surreal looking photo. The top half is a sunny bright-saturated day in suburbia, whilst under the bridge looks like a grey, uninviting scene featuring street kids from Brazil. A really intriguing photo.

the scan looks a little fuzzy. the viewpoint isn't very original. it looks like the standard safari photo taken from the roof of the ATV. It's a great memory seeing such amazing animals but I don't see any real impact in the photo, a little too flat

you should've opened the foreground umberella ;-)

Why do you leave 1:1 ratings when they are clearly not due and don't leave any comment such as you did on one of my photos. You're a very sad individual

you should've got those people to face you

the forefround fence is very annoying as otherwise it would've been a really lovely shot

i really like the colours and the sky but the composition doesn't draw me into the picture. the background behind the wall & gate is distracting in my opinion. i'd like to see it shot from a lower angle to leave the viewer with more of a sense of mystery about what's behind the gate

Not hugely original I know but it's a shot I really like for the

look on his face. Any comments on what I could have done to improve

it?

upload a much bigger image please :-)

no filters apart from the polariser. the stars came from the really bright sunlight reflecting off the pond. i don't know how but i took the first photo with a normal exposure and you could kind of see them so I photographer again underexposing and they came up just like you see there.

Deliberately underexposed and used a polarising filter to create the

dark water with those highlights.

I've put my preferred edit of this photo at:

www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2383606

The new edit is cropped less and for me is a stronger image but please tell me what you think of this one and I might do a better edit again :-)

I went out this afternoon to do some standard flower shots but pah,

don't like doing standard shots. This is a pond with water lilies.

Haven't touched it in photoshop apart from cropping and stanard

sharpen filter after resizing.

really interesting colours for a concert photo. great expressions on their faces and movemnet but a bit too much camera shake. It seems like you had enough light to get a higher shutter speed but I really like this composition

The border is very offputting, make the photo itself bigger instead

i've been asked to do a few bright flower photos for display where i

work and having never photographed flowers before i've done a few

photos of some interesting plants. i'll upload a few more over the

next week but what do you think of this, what could i improve or

change in further shots?

brilliant capture, movement of the hair, the rather unusual background light and choice of instrument make it really impressive. nitpicking comments: crop the bottom to get rid of the distracting fence at the bottom and it wouldve been so good if you'd got the full left elbow in the frame

although it does look like a painting of sorts, it seems to have a lot of noise in the picture. what iso setting did you use?
