I wondered what you think of this and how I could improve it.

thanks

Hi there,

I like flowers but am never sure how to frame them, what is your

opinion on this ?

Thanks for any help.

Thank you for the kind comment.

Not at all my friend. This is three shots at 0 +2 EV and -2 EV, then worked in FDRTools. The colour came from the sun setting as the mist was drawing in.

All the best.

Hi Zack,

I thought the same too, I am not overly pleased with this one but I have just kept it here.

Cheers

All,

Thank you for the kind comments they have been really appreciated. I have a larger version at http://kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/101344-1920x1200_new_tb2.jpg where you can see more detail.

I was wondering what the feelings are about this image, I quite like

it with the aspect that I have taken it with.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments, I have uploaded a version without the tree so that I could see which I prefer.

This was taken this winter, although it looks like a black and white

shot it is in colour, the tree is dark green and there is a little

reddish brown from the tree in the far right. Unfortunately as it was

snowing the sky was just grey, so there was a choice of four things to

do and I did not know what would work best.

1) take the photo as is, leaving the branch form another tree there;

does it distract or is it OK as it points towards the tree.

2) move slightly closer and remove the tree, but without any clouds

the empty space looked too empty to me.

3) take the photo without the branch and put a sky from another photo

into the image. I prefer to make my images as close to reality as I

can, so I did not do that.

4) Not take a photo, so go and build a snowman.

What would you do ?

I took this using an 17-55mm lens at 17mm. I also used a ND grad

filter on the sky then cropped it to shape.

I like the colours and textures of the buildings, I wondered if it

would be better cropped and the crane on the left removed. (I like the

crane as I think it adds something to the left)

Thanks

I captured this person getting off a train and moved my camera at the

same time as to show that I am also in a rush.

Hope it works.

Hi Peter,

I like this a lot, I might have lightened the dark areas just a little as my eye gets drawn to the dark patch on the right when I should be looking at the mountains.

all the best

I would like to say thank you to all of you that have left your comments they are helpful and greatly appreciated.

I thought of other crops, but adding more water put the barrier in the middle and I thought it looked funny, a close up of the structures (I did also take a close up view) to me lost the feeling of expanse and did not show the water volume. However I under stand all of the points of view as the structures themselves will be interesting if you have never seen them before.

When I took it I thought what happens if the rain full is massive can they hold all that water !!!! I know that can (or I hope so)

Thanks once again

paul

This was taken at a park and converted to black and white in Photoshop

using the channel mixer. I thought about cropping a little of the

right hand side but I like the trees in the distance as they are fresh

compared to the old tree.

This was taken in Autumn as the leaves were changing colour. Instead

of taking a photo of the tree I decided to take the leaves reflecting

in the lake that was underneath.

I like the colours and the way the reflection is slightly distorted by

the water.

I was wondering what you think about this, I seem to get a love or

hate reaction, but the reaction is mainly to the use of HDR and not

the image.

Thanks.
