DAMBUSTERS by TONKSPHOTO

Quote: I'll go along with the idea that it's a Liberator

It's not a Liberator either, although there is a similarity in the fuselage. The Liberator was a high wing monoplane with an even larger tailplane than the Lancaster.

I'd say it's a 'Halifax' although the twin tailplane appears to be missing.

Kids at the Kumbh by WeeGeordieLass

I gave up on the idea of replacing/altering backgrounds for no real reason or simply because I can, a long time ago.
Nowadays, unless something's really obtrusive; a tree growing from someone's ear, for example, I don't touch it.
If an object was there when I took the shot, there's nothing to be gained by pretending that it wasn't.

Critique? (3x images) by RWPhotoGraphix

As has been said, three good shots.

Personally, I don't like borders of any kind (and there's a lot of borders here) but that is just my opinion.

Another reason for not using them on this site is that they take up quite a lot of the already spartan area you're allowed for your images.

FRUITY by hobbo

Nothing to do with your image Cyril but another cunningly cheap diffuser is a child's short white school sock, held in place with a postman's discarded rubber band. You can also tuck a piece of white card under the rubber band to act as the little pull out reflector that some flashes come with.

Hi Elaine,

What's happened in the top left . . . ?

A Local Favourite by strokebloke

Great stuff Jack.

If I was to be really picky, V1's very closely cropped at his tail and I'd tone down the catchlights a touch.

Great Erget by johnMathew

The egret looks sharp enough here, although it's a bit hard to tell very much at this size.
The prominent colour here, I find, is green; yellow, of course, being a costituent part thereof.
I've added a mod. in which I applied the auto-tone tool, then de-saturated just the yellow channel a little.
All done using CS6.

Hope this helps.

Bren.

Edit. Looking at my mod., I think I should have perhaps applied a (very slight) 'S' curve as well.

Long time, no see Connor.

I hope that you and all of your family are well.

A great shot, as always.

Excellent!

I've got one just like it!

Scotney Castle by McKenzie41

As Paul has said, this is pretty good as it is.

You might like to fix the top left hand corner though.

Jump! by supercub40

I think that Ian's summed it up.

Personally, although I'm not ordinarily in favour of doing so, I'd use the clone tool and remove the shadow on her thigh.

Whoever's wearing that crash helmet has a lot to live up to.

Water Bubbles. by Laslo

Quote: I set the camera to macro-five (M) operations,

I suspect that you're confusing the 'M' setting, which actually means 'manual' with 'macro,' a setting which the D3100 doesn't have.

The closest would be 'close up' from using one of the pre-sets but it's not the same as macro.

Dysart Harbour by widtink

I like this Rod.

A touch more contrast perhaps . . . ?

female blackbird by HSTONEY222

There's a pretty good shot in there. It just needs a little help.
Shooting through the glass has robbed it of most of its contrast. Try using 'curves' to restore some separation between the black and white points. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
