One from months ago, when in Ireland I visited the Ulster Folk Museum as recommend by Colin (thearmsofvenusdemillo).
This is a new processing technique so I would appreciate your comments. (Using the colour of the original to tone a mono).
Well I hope to be back online later, but the Hard disc is full (just 1 GB left so everything is painfully slow) wish me luck !!

nicely done
I've never really got still life stuff right, maybe I go to the wrong places!
really like the feel to this shot though, has a feeling of age to it.
reckon it's a bit top heavy though? maybe crop the window a bit as most of the action's in the lower part of the shot?

arse - the page froze, just re-submitted it and you've got 2 duplicates... ah well 
Know the feeling Ade, thought I'd typed a reply and nothing appeared!
I think your right re the crop, should have been cropped just below the divider in the window, to a square format - Thats what you get for processing at 2 in the morning when you can't sleep.
Tho it is quite heavily cropped as it is. The main problem I was behind a barrier with the attendant watching me like a hawk, else I would have rearranged thinks a touch I would have liked to have been a bit lower too.
Don't you dare crop it.... you need the space above as a balance to all the business below and also to add the atmosphere.... leave it alone, it's superb as it is... the empty space above balances perfectly the weightiness of the lower half.

PS: Have an award!
V2 is a good shot but at the end of the day it's a still life of a kettle, a bottle and other bits and bobs.... V1 is all of that and atmosphere.... I rest my case.

Thanks David, Les, Mike & Alley. Yes I agree on No1 - the comment on the atmosphere, well that is what I was trying to convey it was grubby, weather worn, and it had the feel of my grand mothers farmhouse kitchen, which is why I really took to the venue.
Thats rather nice Nic, you have captured the feel of the place well, no need for a crop on it, the window lends a sense of place to the overall composition, love the new technique btw...
oh and buy an external hard drive i got a 1 tb at pc world for £50.00. Storage sorted.
Excellent still life and toning Nick and congrats on the HC.A well chosen subject.
Tom.
An excellent bit of work, Nick, as we can expect from you. Like the effect, almost mono with just a hint of colour, works very well and suits the subject.

1 is a bit better - but worth a try wasn't it?
not sure it's a mile better though 
Thanks everyone.
Yes its always worth trying something, experimentation is how we learn. (Or it is for me) There was some milage in your initial comment Ade, but it was more the angle - I would have prefered to have been a fraction lower and to the right. As it was the lens was resting on the barrier.
