hi there,
nice use of soft focus and black and white
the soft focus for the happy family effect and the black and white for the timeless feel
excellent framing as usual.
cheers peter

hi there
good idea and nice photo, might need a little zap of contrast as to me it looks too flat.
ie no bite to the image
with good sky why not try altering it to black and white as well.
nice work.
cheers peter

hi there,
nice use of wide and persective, the over large head and tracks leading away makes it almost 3D.
the black and white gives this reportage photo more grit, tone and texture than if it was in colour.

hi there,
the bird is a little dark, what happens is that the camera see's all the bright blue sky and exposes for that not the bird.
try spot metering on the bird if you have it or turn your camera on to manual
and take a light reading of your hand, ie the same light falls on your hand as the bird.
lock that into your camera and you will have a nicely exposed owl
as well as shooting in landscape mode, try portrait mode as well. you might be able to next time to remove some of the fence.
a well seen photo through, owls are usually very nervous around any people.
cheers peter

hi
very nice photo, digital tends to blow out high contrasty photos like this.
so you have done very well with this
the photo has 2/3 land and 1/3 sky which makes for good balance, not just slapped into the center
did you use a grad filter as there is good contrast on sky and land
cheers peter

hi there dont worry
it can take years of practice as photoshop is a huge programme.
try just doing one thing like levels( lightening and darkening the photo ) and when you feel good with that try something else.
i find with digital cameras in photoshop you should only have to give a bit of contrast and a little unsharp mask, as most cameras give a softish photo.
cheers peter

hi there
interesting double exposure, i think though a little flat with no contrast.
i also think its been over exposed as there is only shades of grey. no strong blacks,, whites and greys.
b & w is famous for its tones and textures
when double exposing you half the exposure for two, ie keep the camera at f-22 for max depth of field and just half the shutter speed
i have cropped your photo added some more contrast ie bite to the image.
the crop is a panorama size i think it would make a nice postcard.
in all an excellent attempt at something different, keep up the good work.

hi there,
firstly the house is well framed and sharp,
but has a slight off putting lean on it.as well the wide angle lens tilt, ie its if the building was falling over.
this can be fixed by using a telephoto and standing back, or a tilt and shift lens.
but i like it this way as its very dramatic
it looks as thru you have used a red filter or tweaked it in photoshop.
this brings out the tone which black and white is famous for
if you had a chance to do this again, try adding a human for scale ie sitting on the front step or looking out an up stairs window.
nice work and good idea.

hi there,
nice 3/4 pose of the ornament and colour.
but i gave it a little tweak to improve your already good photo.
i cropped it to remove the gold and green as well as cloning out the flash make behind the elephant
keep up the good work.

it looks like a little girls temper tantrum about not geeting her way
the black and white and wind blown hair brings it up nicely. ie the mood of the occassion.
nicely seen.
