5's a winner looks spot on to me

5 and 7 are very nice. 8's good too.

Also, you should do something about that horrible aliased text you put in half your images

Love number 5, very good.

Neil79 · 25 Jul 2008 at 10:34

What text font would you recommend?

Number 5 is by far the best for me it's beautifully compsed and exposed. Some of your other shots seem to be sufering a bit from over exposed skys, maybe time to invest in some ND Grads and a circular polariser to really make the pop.

Only 5 is decent, the rest are far too dark.

Not sure, but I don't like the current one due to the aliasing (not smooth and has jaggy bits); it's quite harsh on the eyes. I reckon it'd look better with a slightly smaller type face and a sans-serif font. Just my opinion though, so experiment

Fix your monitor/desktop calibration , nobody else has that problem

Will do! Thanks

You may be right mate, I'm at work and the monitor is pretty rubbish. No offence meant.

Had a play around with it and I think this looks best:

That's the Cambria font with +150 letter spacing applied in Photoshop. Ended up deciding serif looks better than sans-serif

^ oh , i like that... thankyou

Sic · 25 Jul 2008 at 11:35

the white balance in 7 is off. Way too much blue. The others seem a bit non-descript or dark. The sunset one is ok, but the colours aren't very vibrant.

Neil79 · 25 Jul 2008 at 12:58
