One of mine for from last weekend at Snetterton.

Great panning, though it's a bit of a shame there isn't more in the frame - would also be good to have more space for the car to run into, instead of it being slap-bang in the middle. Bit tricky to ensure all that while panning, mind!

Mine - Catholic (I think) Good Friday evening parade in Lisbon - there were many more exciting subjects than this woman, crucifixes, a brass band, big flags etc - but I became drawn to picking out this lady in the habit:

5/10. Just don't get it i'm afraid.

6. Compositionally the image looks ok but doesn't grab my attention.
I don't like the PP, at least on this image, maybe ok for an urban look though.
Also is the image a low Bit depth? as I can see some photoshop banding.

Below is a head shot from last week, the final version is a tighter 8x10 crop...

It's 8 bits/channel, is that what you mean. All my photos are 8 bits and saved as a JPEG.

7/10.

I'd quite like to see a black and white version. I like the framing you did within the shot. Not sure if this was intentional, but it sort of works.

ElDude · 23 May 2011 at 19:28

I like that, but the cross is a little lost in the background. I think there's a bit much sky and too little grass too. That being said, when you view it with the thought of grave & heaven sort of themes, I suppose it gets the point across well. I can't make my mind up

Thanks ElDude. No matter what I did, I just couldn't get the cross to stand out more. I did have a shot with more grass but it looks awkward, and like you said, I tried to go for the whole - heaps of sky / heaven thing... Plus the clouds sort of mould into the outline of the trees (if you pay enough attention to it). Ach, not religious in the slightest, I just thought it came out quite well

. Thanks for your comments

Oh, personally, I'd like your photo with a tad more contrast

, especially in the clouds.

I do like the image, but not a fan of the fog/blur on the top right portion of the image, also not a very interesting composition overall.

HDR is overdone for my liking. I prefer them to be much more subtle. Would like to see the original though.

Here's mine:-

It was 6am and that was a haze in the background caused by either the heat of the morning sun or a bit of light drizzle. It started to rain on me just after that. I've got another version on flickr that shows more detail in the trees. Also adding contrast to the sky didn't look right. I did have the same idea

Dunno what you mean about composition though. It's a landscape shot. You don't get much of a choice when shooting what's in front of you

7/10 - Lovely colours, and nice focus. Photographs of plants don't grab my attention too much, but I like this one. It would make a nice wallpaper

As for this shot - Too saturated? Too much processing? I cannot decide.

Steve M · 24 May 2011 at 16:47

7/10. Like the way the path leads the eye into the photo, bit too much contrast perhaps for this type of shot

Nice scene, but I'd rather see the original rather than an HDR.

My pic...bit unsure about posting this one!

How do you know you'd rather see the original? Might have been rubbish

Perhaps a taller crop would've helped lead the eye more to the foreground

6/10 good sharpness, colour and contrast but the actual subject is a bit meh. doesnt work for me.

here is one of mines

7/10 - I like that quite a lot. The silhouette works well, as does the composition. Maybe it could benefit from being straightened though? I think it would be nicer with some stronger colours in the sky, especially around the centre.

Like the image however, could be improved possibly by changing shooting position to try and remove the tall building in the background from the frame.

Nice work, takes me back to my trading days!
Looks like you knowingly/un-knowingly got a Fibonacci 'Golden Spiral' there, imo you should crop it into a rectangle in a Fibonacci ratio and position the shell as such, within the frame.

Inspector Lynley gives a quick explanation, Lol.
