Beautiful. Looks worth the wait

Bye bye Canon 450D by Angi_Wallace

Love the light painted orb. Hope the camera recovers.

LETTERS NEVER SENT by keithh

Really beautifully lit Keith. If I'm really looking hard for suggestions to make I do tend to agree with Nick on the placement of the photo as a minor point. I love the quality of the specular highlights on the books though and reflection in the desk.

BTW - I subliminally registered the old book to the right of the candle as being an antique book on 'The World Wide Web' before the more conscious part of my brain finally went 'hold on' and went back for a second look

Looking forward to seeing more.

Bodiam Castle by derekhansen

Looks like the plan paid off. Fantastic shot.

Long & Short of it... by wamp

Great comp and colours - and the motion in the sky really sets it off.

Milking It by fazzer

Me too - the water gives the shot loads of energy.

Waking The Witch by Nick_w

I think most of the helpful feedback has been said but just to add that years back I read a photoshop compositing tutorial and the key to a convincing result really was to have everything shot in the same way. In addition to the similar direction and quality of light that's been mentioned, the focal length and dof of the shot need to match for best possible results, e.g. model shot with a mid/telephoto lens against a wide angle landscape will tend to look a little like a cardboard cutout whereas similar focal lengths will be more natural/convincing.

I'll paste a link if I can find it again - looking forward to seeing more.

Intemprance house by Nick_w

Me too - bags of character.

Golden Cask 2 by taggart

Beautifully shot - I really like the style you've created with this.

Malham Dawn by Paul_Forgham

Stunning image - looks like the extra effort was worth it. Congrats on the magazine use too.

Godrevy Glory by BillyGoatGruff

Wow - fantastic colours and the panoramic format really suits it.

Cape Gold ... by sut68

Impressive - particularly in the handling of the highlights - very well deserved.

Red Roaches by edrhodes

Absolutely stunning sky.

Low flying Spaniel by John_Wannop

Excellent timing. It reminds me of a series I took of my kids jumping up and down in a muddy puddle when they were younger

Southwold surf by derekhansen

Really stunning - well deserved. Colours, movement, exposure and comp all spot on IMO.

Bracebridge Pumping Station by Pete

Great range of colours too from the shady mossy concrete through the warm light on the wall to the brick.
