big thanks for the door critique..i dont get many
this is quite bright and happy window set into many tiles which have the colours there to support
i wonder why you use 400 asa..but i dont think it detracts..and you get high speeds
cheers

hi mario
good mood here with the sombre and overpowering sky
sea and beach have some reflected light and so are well balanced
reading left to right..good compositional setting
cheers

a busy powerful image with immense detail and use of similar tonalities
i dont know where to look at the image and then realise its all image...
full to the brim
cheers

this is beautiful paul verging on the lighting and techniques of some of your countries famous painters
two items detract
the red wording and the red roofed houses/lamp posts...
i know the argument for copyright etc but i do find wordings can down grade a superb image's quality of focal interest
some judicious cloning would place this shot in the category ..timeless
excellent eye for composition and form
cheers

know one knows the person...but we can take some assumptions from the facial expressions..dont be down hearted...i am musing she was nearly breaking out into to smile...but wasnt sure of the consequences
worth a vote

it looks like you did a lot to this but i can believe nature can out strip us for pp...naturally
solid shot of a kindly town set in a quiet stream area
the reed bank fills nicely the fore to middle aspect with the town sitting up clearly in the background
lighting as i have mentioned above is supernatural

hi back to you
and send us some sun will you, please

mrcrow (2712) [2008-02-09 3:10]

really well placed shot here with the slope and the kerbside bollards adding interest
lighting is good in keeping the tones under control without too much contrast and enabling a saturated effect
cheers

i can see the eyes..and its well titled to bring this out
a hard thing to do but possible is to remove the arial...and the tree..maybe
cheers

a successful experiment
the colours are very mesmerising and welcome
if we dont try something different how will our photography progress or develop..mistakes are the steps on the path of learning
cheers
