Old Oak Tree

Superb colours and presentation.

clown fish

You've made your Sony cybershot work hard on this one considering the strong lighting coming down from top left and shooting through glass.

It a good colourful image and record shot for you. Not quite sharp enough in all areas and I'd be tempted to crop off the area of harsh light from the top of the image.

This makes the really colourful fish stand out even more.

sunset

You've captured the warm colours of a sunset well and got the best out of your camera on this occasion.

The foreground which takes up about one third of the image really needs to be cropped a bit and contain more detail.

There is a good, narrow panoramic image waiting to be extracted from this shot containing the sky, sea and beach.

Autumn

Great autumn colours but I think it would have more impact if you closed in and filled the frame with a smaller area of colourful leaves.

You could experiment with different points of view to see which works best.

The range of colours here represent the autumn theme very well.

Hi rane - I really like the composition and presentation of the image - the jetty leads the eye well into the image.

The early morning sun appears to have "burnt out" in the middle and the lighting across the clouds appears uneven with perceptible darker diagonal lines across the clouds and a darker circular lines parallel with the outer ring of the sun which don't appear to be in keeping with the cloud formation and density.

This would be a difficult image for any digital sensor to capture given the dynamic range of the early morning, rising sun and strength of shadows but you have done well.

This is a good shot and a pleasure to view.

Beachcombing after Storm

Thanks for the comments DRicherby and Paulbroad.

This was a real "find" on the beach at Hayling Island. It turned out be a small fragment of a distress rocket.

This macro shot has distorted the scale - the fragment was only about 40mm long and 25mm wide - but this is how it appeared in the sand when I saw it.

Many thanks for your comments and concerns

Textured Anti Nazi

I prefer V2 - although the crop spaceman refers to above would indeed create greater visual impact.

I think the concrete textured overlay in V1 over complicates the image and detracts from the main subject.

The perspective of the cracks in the concrete overlay is different to the lines of the concrete block pavers - and to me this adds a discordant note to the image.

Wonderland

Stunning and thought provoking work.

The Sax

You've got the lighting, colours and exposure spot on and this is a great subject for abstract work.

You could gain more impact in the shot by changing the angle of the camera / saxophone and not having it fall away from the camera quite so sharply.

It's quite a busy shot as it is and not immediately clear what the subject is.

I'd also be tempted to get in even closer around the 3 white button/keys and fill the frame with this and other areas.

Strong diagonals always look good in images.

I'd also be tempted to do a silhouette as well with such a subject as this and create a really strong graphic image.

BLOOMIN HECK

I prefer V2 slightly over V1 for its symmetrical layout and image composition - but I enjoyed looking at both images and colours aas presented.

Any gardener would like these on the wall

pilleyboy - your work is exceptional and speaks volumes for your ability.

The site will be poorer without you.

Now that's brought back a very special memory of our trip there two years ago. Thanks for posting.

Maelstrom

A stunning, eye catching abstract. I could look at this for hours and lose myself in its pattern and intricacy. Superb work.

Perhaps you could create even more impact with a different edge / border / colour combination?

By: Johnfromnotts

Abstract

I really like the colours, pattern and obscurity of the subject
