Hi Jerry

Thanks for the comment - that's very helpful, particularly with the white balance. I'll experiment and see where I get to!

Cheers Helen

Hi Shun

Please don't apologise for the long comment - it's much appreciated! Some excellent points too, so thank you and I'll try taking them again in different light and see what happens.

Cheers

Hi Ahmad

Thanks for the comments on both pictures - I appreciate you taking the time. I was wondering about the colour on this one, so I'll experiment and see what results I can get!

Warm regards Helen

This are the first pictures I've taken with my new camera, so any

thoughts on exposure, focus, what I could have done differently (apart

from buy a different camera!) will be very gratefully received.

All comments welcome. Would be particularly interested in thoughts

about the lighting - I think it might be a bit harsh. Any suggestions

as to what I could have done differently? Thanks

Thanks Adam - I'm very flattered you like my pictures. You're absolutely spot on that Ellie is my pet and I think you're right in your statement that love is no good for photography - definitely too subjective!

I suppose I ought to have a prune of my photos on here, but time management has never been my strong point and it's one of those many tasks I never quite get round to...

Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos - it is much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Helen

Hi Adam

Thank you for taking the time to critique my photograph. I appreciate the comments and I can see what you mean about the background.

I don't agree that just because it's a picture of a cat that I shouldn't have posted it for critique - if the only photos that could be published were completely original, then there would be a wealth of interesting photos out there that we would never see. Through posting it as well, I have had your great comments, which (as a beginner) are invaluable to me and I will definitely learn from them!

I have had a look at your portfolio and I think it's stunning - if I could photograph like that then I wouldn't be posting this photo, so I do see where you're coming from. If you have the time and / or inclination I would be seriously grateful if you could look at some other pictures in my portfolio and give me an honest opinion about how you think I could improve.

With thanks and very warm regards Helen
