A nicely exposed image of an unusual building and a difficult one to shoot Rod.

I might have been tempted to sharpen it a touch, but that is your decision!

Regards Paul

I'd like to see this in full colour! let down here slightly with some obvious stitch marks dead centre.

Hi Aris

The larger version appears much sharper, on this smaller, softer version the foreground is a Little intrusive, but not so on the larger version.

I would prefer a shallower depth of field to put more emphasis on the butterfly.

Shot from a couple of inches to emphasize the grain in the weather

beaten Oak boards of the famous curved Pier.

My first camera. Given to me by my dad when I was 11

I would say thanks for the memory, but I fired off the shutter just yesterday to keep it in trim. I really ought to take it out in the wild more often though.

Incidentally, I highly recommend that camera to anyone looking for a cheap way into 6x6 medium format (film) photography.

A lovely winter scene Floriana, but my eye can't help being dragged up to the slightly messy and wasted space on the top of the image.

I would consider framing it better by cropping the top down to where the branches of the trees on the left and right meet in the middle.

Try scrolling down to hide the top part of the frame and it will give you some idea.

Hope you don't mind my input

A simple yet visually striking image, very well composed, but some slight banding spoiling the smooth gradation of the sky

Hi Saleem.

I'm not sure what you have done here, whether or not you have used two images, or one image with a diffused background.

Either way, I like the exposure, composition and lighting on the lead horseman, but, personally I would like to see a more detailed 'realistic' view on the horsemen in background, the sky is just fine.

Regards and a happy New Year

A Medium contrast conversion to black & white from my previous upload, after a couple of members expressed a desire to see a b&w version.

Thanks for looking and a happy New Year to all.

Paul

Thanks David. I haven't tried converting this one yet.

Very well composed and exposed!

Paul

Very well composed. I like the contrast of the warm tones in the foreground against the cold harshness of the distant wilderness.

Regards

Paul

Well captured and well presented

Paul

A nice simple shot made more appealing by your excellent composition and your use of d.o.f.
