Joao. I love this picture - it looks like it should be depressing, but the splash of colour and the way the girl is sitting makes me feel thoughtful rather than sad. I like it.

Beautifully captured colours - I want to pick up the cello and play it! I agree with Erik about the shadow in the corner, but hadn't really noticed it until he pointed it out.

Seth, I don't know how you've created this miage but it looks lovely - great mix of colours, and I'd be happy to have it on my wall!

I thought long and hard about going BW on this, but the colours kind

of caught my eye so decided to go colour on it. I also thought about

cropping the photo but felt that the sense of location would be lost

too much - i.e. manly type blokes wouldn't feel comfortable

massaging each other in private, let alone in the street....

I can really feel the heat in this picture - and doesn't she look pi55ed off with it?!!? My inital thought was to take some of the redness out at the colour saturation looks high.....BUT then I remember the colour of my kids when we're out on hot sweaty days and I think you've captured the feeling well. Nice shot.

Well, I caught this man on camera yesterday when I leapt out of car

in Brighton rush hour traffic. After I photographed him I went over

to him for a chat and he kept telling me that life is so unfair. He

seemed to be going through a bad patch. He then played a sad tune

for me so I could take another picture!

Rush hour traffic yesterday evening made me jump out of the car to

take pictures.

You know, sometimes I don't know what category to put a photo under.

This could be street, but then it could be a portrait or maybe under

children!

Just snapped from rear seat of rag-top Nissan Patrol, in freezing

conditions, while going up Mt Teide on the island of Tenerife. I

can't help wondering what the driver is thinking seeing as he does

this trip a couple of times every daytime then again at night!

Would appreciate any comments on this. How does it work as a mono

image from point of view of tones? I know perhaps the subject matter

might be a bit boring, but I'm still learning after all these years.

Any help at all would be great. Cheers. Pete

Hi. I submitted thos picture for critique yesterday, but wasn't

happy witht he image brightness, and when I tried to replace it I

somehow uploaded a completely different picture. Id really

appreciate some comments on this image. The only post precessing has

been to increase brightness level and correct the white balance - it

was taken early evening, facing into the sun (which was behind the

boarding). The light illuminating the subject is the sunlight

reflected in the windows of a building on my side of the street.

Thanks in adance.

Taken early this evening - one of my first pictures with my

new "used" Canon 10D. Sunlight was behind the boarding, with subject

and boarding illuminated from the front by reflection of sun in

windows of building on my side of the street. I just liked the

colours of the boarding and so waited a moment for a suitable

subject to come along!
