Shot this some years ago with an Olympus Trip 35. It's tottenham high street during a reclaim the street party.
Dug it out because it was a hot summer day and I'm feeling cold
I think the sky is absolutely fine. I find the clipped highlight on the distant moored boat on the left a bit distracting but would leave it be. However the whole picture needs to be rotated anti-clockwise by about 3 degrees. Tis a good picture.Very nice, id have personally wanted a little less exposure of the sky, but i can see that's not necessarily possible. Photoshop it

my picture so good/bad/meh that its stumped you all?

Why is this image so crap? I wanted an image for this months competition which is entitled "Pet Hates" and ironing is a pet hate for me
so I figured an image of ironing would be good for it. I did try to have visible steam rising from the iron but against that light background the steam did not show in the resulting image. I think the image does show "ironing" but I just find it such a boring image! what do you think?
I prefer the colour version but would have darkened the background a bit more and given it a little bit of a contrast boost overall. Good photo though.my picture so good/bad/meh that its stumped you all?
You've caught the moment really well, but it might have been a bit nicer if there had been more back-light behind the water drop. And I don't know if you did this, but a tip for this type of photograph is to add a bit of guar gum, glycerine or agar agar to the water to thicken it slightly. Lot's of info on this online.Took this one today with my new/old Canon SX40HS. Then a bit of tweaking in Gimp. Bearing in mind I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to photography (though I have been boning up by watching loads of YT videos), what do you think?
Here's one of my grand-daughter, haven't done any tinkering apart from cropping it a bit. Any tips on some jiggery pokery in Aperture or similar? Or should I just leave it as is?

A lovely photo. Perhaps it's the compression but the division between the ears of the hat and the background is indistinct. Scrolling the picture makes me think that the bowl bottom right is an issue - the picture might be better off without it as it interferes with the whole background going into shade.
Ok so I'm a complete amateur in photography. Only got my DSLR 5 months ago and these shots are with my new 50mm lens. I want to get into street photography and these three short are my first real attempts-they are of course edited in Elements.
I'd be interested in your honest views-particularly around composition.

With this one, you've got the problem of the black dog and the woman's trousers disappearing into the shade. Can you tweak the contrast?
Interesting technique there. Not really my cup of tea.
A lovely scene. Good depth of field, the thirds work, catching the waves breaking is a very nice touch. Perhaps you could crop it less on the right-hand side? Look at the woman's back top-right and compare the amount of space to the border with the dog bottom-left. But the picture lacks a focus: what or who is the subject of this photo?
