The Mill = 7/10, loses on looking too processed (the pipe along the wall, wall just below the roof), too composited (the sky).

4/10, it's just too small for me to appreciate I guess.

Once I'm in employment again I'll get some additional bits that will solve that.

Is the defraction pattern caused by the aperture iris?

4/10, Not the most interesting composition/subject, try working in 1/3rds, looks like you've pulled the shadows too far, trees are too soft, as is the rest of the image, I'm assuming that's due to diffraction shooting at f22. Not too keen on the lens flare either. Soz!

8/10 for me. I like how she's captured in the middle of the vegetation, and there's a lot of detail in it to look closely at

I haven't done much lately as I've been ill, but I took a few on Sunday, and discovered just why I need IS on my 70-200. I also need a better extender. Anyhoo, here's my latest moon shot

6/10, yes, it does look a little bit blurry. Not quite sure why you went with the blue, it loses a bit of drama from the shot. The blue at the moment just looks like really solid noise to me. Not really my kind of photography but I suppose there isn't much outside of opportunism with shots like that.

ElDude · 12 Apr 2011 at 22:49

It was blue because I took the photo in daylight

I actually tinkered with the blacks to get a bit of detail on the moon, which has made it darker than it actually was

9/10 like the low depth of field and the sharp detail where in focus, just a shame there wasn't more going on at that point of fucus.

8. i like the shot a lot, very nice colours and i like the symmetry. Though you have lost some of the contrast due to the longer exposure, but it works well. Still unsure if i like the full portrait framing of the pic, possibly crop? I'm no expert though.

8/10

Slightly too contrasty for my liking, but love the reflections in the sand and the two kids staring out to sea.

8/10, nice star bursts, but feel that the image needs to be straightened slightly and have the highlights in the clock recovered a bit. Really like how the trails aren't the main subject of the image though, a good shot.

7. Not bad, but I think it could be made to look more interesting compositionally speaking, as it doesn't really say that much to me tbh as it is.

Out in the garden today testing out my 85 1.8 with ND4 & flash, then I noticed that my weigela I rescued had come back to life and had actually begun to flower, so I took a quick snapshot with just natural light.

6/10 - Now i'm only a beginner so all of these shots are better than mine, but i just feel this is a bit on the pale side? like the DoF though but overall doesn't grab my interest at all sorry.

6/10
Colours are bright and vibrant, possibly could have done with a slightly lower angle, may have been worth waiting for the random sandals wearing man to disappear. Not sure if i like the quirky angle though.

8/10 Really like that. Would prefer less harsh light on the wood though, and maybe a little more interest in the cloud but I'm just nit-picking now.

Any chance you have this in a 1920x1080 ? would love to have that as a wallpaper, beautiful shot.

Also many thanks to the photographers and posters, lovely thread, with some fantastic pieces.

8. Nice light, nice powerful expression, could maybe do with some extra punch in pp.

Below is a shot of a flower I did today.

Chiz · 19 May 2011 at 14:53

8/10.

For what you were trying to achieve, I don't think you can get much better than this. Good shot overall

tuckenator · 19 May 2011 at 15:39

8.5/10 i guess, great shot, and you've captured the little guys expression really well. I would prefer it if the background was slightly less exposed, but the DOF does contrast it well.

5/10 Not sure what it is but it doesn't do anything for me :-(
