daisy paws! err, cropped and a yellow shift, slight s curve.
Halo around the hand from blending or bad sharpening. Maybe would have preferred a tighter crop / more of the left, dunno. Other than that, like it.
 
riot sky - aw shucks ;)

mauvais - all pp done in PS CS2: camera raw - upped the saturation a touch as it was rather flat; then into ps - auto-levels, gradient on the sky set to overlay, selective colouring layer to enhance and darken the blue and bring out the orange of the plant, unsharp mask x2 (diff. settings each time for diff. effects) - ta-da!

I'm really only just learning about PS - it seems like every couple of weeks I find out about a whole new setting that I never knew existed!

Would have preferred the background separating from the guy's head - maybe removing it entirely would help.

Like the big white space, and like the simple thin border. Good conversion as ever.
 
Johnny, first one, could maybe bring out some details with a dodge/burn (mainly dodge) - the vehicle's great, but the rest is a little dark overall. Like the composition a lot.

Second one, not so keen, a bit dark too - the shapes are interesting but it just doesn't 'click' for me.
 
My fav

My fav shot for a few months has been this one :D

Right, sorry about the date stamp, figured out how to turn it off now, but haven't figured out how to remove it from exisiting pics yet as haven't got this phototshop thing I keep hearing about...

These are from the living room in my flat.

I like that one, but they really need to be bigger so I can tell you :)

When I posted these to Flickr, they automatically reduced them to teeny weeny size (sorry for that techno talk), what's a good place to store higher resolution? Or am I missing something at Flickr?

They create many different sizes for you when you upload: thumbnail, small, medium and original. Your original size is still there, you just click 'all sizes' above whicever pic you want to see and it gives you the option of viewing that shot in any of those sizes, and gives you the url to each too. So it is still there in its original size, just showing up smaller to fit on the main page :)

I like that, could do with a little more DoF or perhaps a little more foreground, but I still like the contrast between the two things.

thanks :)

whats dof?

Depth of Field, say your f stop is 2.8 and you focus on a subject ten metres away anything in the background would be blurred and out of focus ( shallow DOF) if you took the same shot with say f8 the subject plus the background would be both sharp and in focus, shallow DOF is used in portraits to give more emphasis to the subject
