Thankyou very much Mandy
Hmm, yeah I know what you mean about the curtain, however I often feel that need to just hint at what's beyond the frame as well as within it, if you get me.

A lovely "full" photograph! Great image.

Sanatorium Stairwell

Thanks for the positive comments - in answer to Jadus, I may have opened the top door when I walked through, but generally try not to rearrange things in my pictures if possible. It does occasionally need to be done though, but not here, so I can't claim to have been "inspired" except by the place itself.

The Old Orphanage

Thanks. The locals wouldn't even acknowledge the place existed! It was certainly a "haunted" (in the metaphorical sense) place.

Band stand

Great shot Catherine!

Yes, its a little bit lopsided, but must admit that really didn't strike me immediately, as was busy looking at the lovely content of the shot. Nicely framed and composed despite that small flaw.

The only other suggestion I would make is that, assuming the view would be pretty much the same throughout the 180degree range that faces the sea, personally I would have either included more of the pier to the left of the shot as an interesting detail, or excluded it altogether, rather than have it just peeping in - its too indistinct to be an assest to the shot or interesting addition, and so becomes a minor distraction instead. I suspect someone unfamiliar with Brighton might find their eyes pulled off toward that mystery object rather than seeing and taking in what you want them to.

The obvious remedy would be either to cut it out altogether by moving the whole shot over to the right, or if possible re-positioning it between the two left-hand columns

A Padded Cell To Myself

Quote: Just found this after you comments on my image,cant beleive how much attention is hasn't had!! Very well taken and not done by many.
Gary

Thanks Gary! I guess I'm not active enough here to get noticed, I don't know, haha! Or maybe shots of sparrows will always be more popular.

The Old Asylum

Quote: Absolutely great idea and vision, but was the wheelchair really found there? The handles don't show any sign of rust, the armrests are in great shape and the leather seat and back look good too...

Well I rotated it slightly to work better compositionally, but I certainly didn't put it there! It's a small child's wheelchair, so appropriate to be found where it was, in the children's section. Also, it was a bit rusty, but it just doesn't show up on this particular shot. If you visit my website you can see a few more of it.

Suggest blurring the woman so she matches everything else? At present she looks pasted-on.

Denbigh? Talgarth? Any more shots to come?

"Curl"

Wow, nice, deserves more votes. You should take predictable shots of robins or flowers if you want those though.

EyEs Of The Insane

Looks more like "eyes of the p*sshead" to me, but it's a striking image nonetheless, and gets my vote!

Forgotten Crypt

Quote: Rather you than me, bravery award alone!, well done, looks eerie

Adrian

Cheers, and yes it was, I was alone and it was very very quiet, and smelt deathly, if you know what I mean. Somebody had been in and piled up little stacks of stone from the smashed fronts of the broken tombs for some reason. I was amazed at the sheer length of the corridors.

Nice! I know there's not a lot left but I'd like to see it.

Cartoon?

Not hugely flattering! There are some good free Photoshop "cartoon" actions around on the web. Try searching for Maredas Cartoon Action, although I'd suggest thinking harder about composition and making the initial photo more flattering first!

Two Zebra

Very nicely done! I must agree that a greater depth of field to bring both faces into focus would have worked better, but the framing is faultless.
