The large version shows much detail in the stone, but the composition isn't particularly interesting and the light is a bit dull. You might consider cropping away some of the sky.

A panorama of 16 HDR photos in a 8x2 grid, so 48 photos were made for

this. Perhaps I like to show too much in one photo, but I liked the

juxtaposition of the sunny left and the darker right part as well as some of the

details: the arches on the left, the glass and the red spot on the wall.

Comments welcome. Please view the large version, that's really essential

with this photo: in the small version too many details are lost. Thanks for

viewing.

I guess this is an effect you applied in post-processing, but the first impression is of a blurred photo. Also you might consider correcting the converging lines.

The nave of Norwich cathedral in late afternoon sunlight coming through the

stained glass in the west window. Comments welcome, thanks for watching.

It's barely noticeable, but it is slightly tilted. Seriously though: I don't think the angle has a function here, in other areas of photography it can add a dynamic touch, but here it just doesn't work, at least for me. Nice colors though.

I agree with Tim's comment: light is rather flat. You should photograph this (much) closer to either sunrise or sunset. Then the red colors come to life. Composition isn't particularly interesting, the balanced rock is too close to the edge to be the main subject and the other rocks are just not interesting enough.

Colors look natural on my monitor (Dell 2405 24" - IE7). Nice photo BTW.

Very good portrait. All the portraits in this folder are very good, actually. They really show character.

This has quite a strong color cast and needs some color correction IMO. I took the liberty to do some quick PS adjustments to show what I mean, hope you don't mind.

This is much better than the other shot (with the dead tree) I commented on. Light is a lot more beautiful. What I don't like -but it's not that prominent- is the slight flare on the right. Good detail BTW.

Thanks for your comments. Dennis, where do you see that halo? Because I really don't see it. All I see -but ever so slightly and only in a few parts- is a minute white edge caused, I guess, by sharpening.

I think you should have included more of the landscape, seeing this small strip doesn't quite work. Apart from that the colors of the sky are a bit odd.

View from 'The Devil's Staircase' on the West Highland Way. This is a

panorama of 3 vertical HDR photos. Comments welcome, please view the

large version, thanks for watching.

Original! The technique you used works very well. It gives the photo its somewhat surrealistic atmosphere.

What's the point of viewing the large version when it's way too large? All you can do is scroll and admire the detail. Furthermore 5MB is way above the photonet limit. A 1280 pixel wide version fits on most screens.

Nice, but needs some color correction to make it more natural.

A moody afternoon near Glen Coe. With the hotel I was staying on the left.

Comments welcome. Please view larger, that's essential.

The lovely cloister of Norwich cathedral. Stitched from 8 HDR photos (so

8x3=24 photos total). Comments welcome, please view the large version.

Stephen, thanks for your comments. I had thought of getting closer to the pool, but....I wanted to keep my feet dry: the last few yards to the pool were very boggy.

The darkness of the foreground is deliberate: making it lighter might add detail, but I feel the darkness accentuates the sunlit mountains more and adds more 'drama'. The lack of detail also has to do with the resizing: the large version (this is a pano of 3 photos) does show a lot of detail in the foreground vegetation.

The other one is indeed quite a bit better in terms of skin tones.

perfect!

A fine morning in Scotland, had to get up very early as the sunrise was at

5.30. Comments welcome, please view the larger version.

A fine winter day in Castilla. Comments welcome, please view the

large version.

Great portrait! I don't know if it was intentional, but the red/beige background combines very well with her blue shawl.

I agree with Mark: the photo has some nice (PS-ed, I presume) textures and colors and a moody atmosphere, but the model doesn't fit at all in this mood - both in her expression and the fact that it looks like you excluded her from the treatment you gave the rest of this image. It almost looks as if she's standing in front of a photo instead of being in this hallway.
