I like this. It took me a while to realise it was water, not steel arcs, so I appreciate it more.

I'd like it a bit stronger, and ideally, without the distractions like the people, but that's all very subjective. Have a play with PP maybe, but as it is, it's a strong shot.

I remember that fountain! It's very impressive. My recollection is that the jets of water would stop and start at various times adding more complexity. I'd be tempted to try to catch some of them mid-air to add to it. Otherwise agree with mauvais.

There is some interesting potential for playing around with angles where the wall of the building changes direction. Not knowing the location I may be barking up the wrong tree but if it is possible, picking a different viewpoint to make more of the angle could produce some interesting results. It is one of those images that could work in mono but as it happens, I like the colour in this one. However, I would be tempted to re-visit the location when the light is lower so you can make more of the shadows and the tonal contrast.

Bit of a cheek me making comments after a nine month absence but rather than start slinging my own images up again, I'd rather ease my way back in gently!

Thanks. I've got bored with walls and pipes. Started photographing satellite dishes over the summer but that didn't really go any where. Trying to get back into people. Agree with your colour/mono comments, often better in b+w but that shot had just enough colour to make it worthwhile.
 
Took a few photos the other day while on a walk with the 'ol point & shoot.

Photo taken at the pub. Not sure if the sepia-spotlight sort of thing works, but I thought it'd add a bit of contrast between the main drinker with the newish jacket on, and the old fashioned surroundings.

Also at the pub... There's butterflys everywhere on the wall. Plain creepy.

Gothic meets Deco... I liked the subject but I wish I could have gotten the shot from a better perspective, but the hill just wasn't high enough.
 
I'm not much of an expert, but I like 2 and 4 the best. 4 is the tate isn't it? Very impressive. For me 3 is a bit cluttered, 5 is nothing amazing and 1 doesn't quite work.

(I'm just a layman when it comes to pics though so don't listen to me :D)
 
lully image btw...:cool:

Thank you kindly. Just got a new camera and in the process of working out to use it. That was taken after, ahem, a few drinks on the Southbank the other night. I took a few and most were rubbish (nothing to do with being pissed, of course :oops:) but that one turned out OK.
 
here are three shots I took of the singer/producer Jamie Lidell at the Scala in 2005. Been thinking about maybe getting them printed up, but I have a few reservations so thought I'd canvas a few opinion on here. The idea was to capture the energy of his performance, for those not familiar the shows are quite intense.

Those are great shots.
 
photos for your consideration

I just built my first website of photography last week. Would love to hear people's feedback, please. Thanks!
