For some reason I don't have an edit option on that post - have reported it to the mods and asked them to delete for now . Sorry people.

no dont do that. just because its something i dont want to see doesnt make it any less valid a post. for all i know there may be someone with a walnut phobia.

This photo leaves me with unanswered questions.

Well, one really: what is the complete word - 'badge....'

Badgers? Slaying the Badgers?

It's about Bernard Hinault whose nickname was the Badger. He hasn't been slain and is alive and well

Love them! Good work.

 

[RoyReed]

Lovely drawings!

My only comment (since you've put it in the 'critics' thread) is that the drainpipes on the Morley's pic are a bit black and heavy.

 

[stockwelljonny]

Love the drawings, really nicely done, always like black and white cityscapes.

Made me think of this book

You're not the first one to mention that RoyReed and I do agree, good or bad feedback is always welcome!

Thanks for sharing, never saw this book before, it looks really good!

 

[stockwelljonny]

recommend it, really nice line drawings out of notable New Yorkers Windows (always including the window frame!) plus a few paras from the person..

My first picture post! Taken with my phone on Thursday

 

[sparkybird]

Did I do the post right?

 

[RoyReed]

Did I do the post right?

Yes.

Nice photo, nice light. It might be improved slightly by cropping to 3:2 ratio (I'm guessing the original is 16:9) to lose a little bit of the dark area at the bottom.

 

[sparkybird]

Thanks Roy! Didn't occur to me to crop. never done this before, but am going to try it out on the phone
Cheers

Would love to have some feedback. This was a a picture I took last autumn from Coombe Hill, the highest point in the Chilterns. Thanks.

I like the textures and the contrast between them. Really nice. Not sure about the aspect ratio. I would be tempted to burn a bit of texture back into the fields either side of frame from where the figures are.

 

[teuchter]

Nice, I wouldn't do any image manipulation burning textures etc. I might be tempted to crop the right hand side in a bit. I'd also try doing a more severe crop where you lose the conifers altogether, keep a good area of earthen field including the figures, with just a sliver of the autumn-colour trees along the top. Would have to do it to see if it worked.

I think she's a lady....

How can you tell?

 

[Sirena]

How can you tell?

Males are a bit smaller and slimmer with a distinct orange belly.

She (for I think it is such) seems more drab and is fat-bellied: fat with eggs...

So something like this

Personally I prefer the first one as the greener trees in the background add something. I agree about cropping the right hand side though, works better for the rule of thirds.

Perhaps it might work better cropped into square?

Like this maybe ?
