This site has a serious claim to be associated with an historical King

Arthur.

Very impressive. I'm just slightly disturbed by the spike of grass on the right. My eye just insists on drifting back to it which is a shame considering how attractive the model is.

Very impressive. I love how the background complements the sharpness of the foreground image.

I particularly like the crop. The way the line of dark hair leads straight to the eyes makes for a very satisfying composition. The eyes are haunting. Can we have this in colour?

Totally agree with the above. Lovely picture.

I hope this conveys the atmosphere of a blustery September morning on

the west coast of Scotland.

I agree with Gail. The only thing I might have done would be to get rid of Fred. Regards

Really nicely done under difficult lighting conditions.

Simply excellent.

A follow up to yesterday's posting. The only entrance can be more

clearly seen at the bottom of the picture.

A thirteenth century cathedral-monastery complex in the west of

Ireland. The remarkable tower was build as a refuge for the monks in

times of trouble. The only doorway can be seen about fifteen metres up

the tower. It felt very much as if I wandered into a set for The Lord

of the Rings.

Hi Michael

Ok so there is a bit of blur, not a major concern considering the interesting composition. I can see that it wasn't that bright a day and you're using a teleconverter on top of an F4 lens. This reduces your options to increasing the iso or leaving off the TC and cropping a smaller image. I'm amazed how good a modern DSLR is and I always hold in mind that a 3MP image was considered fantastic ten years ago.

Best Regards

I'm guessing that that is Malta. Interesting composition.

Wonderful. The reds and golds are stunning and the DOF and feeling of space created, works splendidly.

Well processed. A nice image.

The over saturation really works. The colours are splendid and the edge effects add a clarity which holds the image together. well done.

Very striking. Have you tried desaturating the blues slightly.

Excellent idea. Could we see one with a little more depth of field.

What a fabulous picture. The feeling of menace is perfectly captured. I'm not sure why the right hand side is darker.

With lighting and general conditions as bad as that I think you've done a remarkable job. I'm not sure the vignetting is absolutely needed but I guess you are the best judge.

Just a quick note to say that the donkeys are very well looked after

and only demonstrate this ancient wheel, used to raise water from a

well inside the castle grounds, for a few minutes each day.

The picture was taken under quite difficult conditions crammed up

against wall in a small enclosed space with twenty or so other

tourists. With only available light, the action pictures were blurred.
