How about this version John ? More "horizontal" according to the scene...
Thank you for posting here John

Well done Antonio. This looks much better, you're a true artist. In my humble opinion, it would look better with a border.
Cheers...........Edwin.

this was a shot taken enroute home the other night, prior to a storm rolling in. The next day, the dead tree had fallen, so this is really its last hurrah.

i am not a photographer for real, just from love, so you will have plenty of room to teach me anything you please!

also, the color on the thumbnail that says Success! as if it actually has uploaded (i've been fooled before ;-), is really much more orange or burnt. On my pc, it is a flaming crimson ;-)

It is a nice image Steve. I like the detail of the daffodil in the foreground.
Thank you for posting Steve

RAF

The thing behind I thought looked a bit like a control tower is actually from a Japanese prisoner of war camp; it is very interesting inside with sounds of the jungle and heat, it was really warm.

Thank you Steve
I, I mean we can see how proud you are on RAF and UK . That is good. I also like that. (not of my business but just an opinion)
Cheers

1st HDR photo. I recently started HDR and I really like to do the process. Here is a picture of my backyard. It is not the best photo but any tips for continuing on in HDR.

Thank you for posting here

I will not comment about HDR "business" because I know nothing about such a subject.

Cheers

The nice usual style with the usual good quality.
However - I have always something to say, haven't I ? - I would like to see the entire bicycle... but I understand you mean not to.
That is also part of the style. Good

Edwin, Edwin... I am not a true artist.
And yes Edwin you are right. It would look better with a border. I can't do it anymore because - as usual - I have erased it from my computer.
Oh yes, I could go and dig in my Time Machine and find it and... oh well... never mind

[Edwin Harvey]

You're such a humble man Antonio & also have a great sense of humour.
Cheers..........Edwin.

My problem with this one is the burnt out clouds. Don't know what software you used to convert to HDR or what the exposures were like for the originals (i.e whether they were all a touch on the high side). Is it HDR straight from RAW ?
Generally when I get something like this from HDR, assuming my exposures were correct, it means I've set the white point too high which burns out skies a treat.
More info needed on this one to point you in the right direction. Also let's have your first name, it's what we usually use here and it makes things friendlier and a little more personal.

Bluebell woods, lightly dusted with HDR. I kind of like it but it's missing something ..... or it's got too much of something

Did a little tweaking at Picasa. C & C please.

very beautiful Vandemberg!
I really like it,
me too, I would like to see the wheel of the bike on the right side not cropped, but is yet a beuatiful pic.

Hello Paul. Thank you for posting here
I don't see anything wrong in your image except perhaps that it lacks a bit of ... shall I say orientation ?!
I mean, there are no guide lines to look at. There are no special points of interest... I really don't know how to say it but I am sure you can do better than this.
I mean no offense of course but it looks like you arrived to the forest and made a picture without any compromise, without looking for something interesting, a different point of view or what ever.
Indeed it is not an easy task in this so homogeneous environment where nothing - apparently - really stands or pops up at first sight.
And - there we are - this is what I mean: there should be something captivating the view, something particular, some kind of attraction point.
However, this "point of interest" may not be present if there is a constant scale all over the image.

In this image there is nothing in the foreground and however, it is interesting. It doesn't look a picture shot "at random". It looks intentional.
This is the great difference between the two images.

This is why I was writing you the other day about a nude in the middle of the field. It would make a point - better saying, a line and area - where the texture would make the difference.
After seing such an image (last one) I do know you can do better Paul.
OK ?
Suis je trop dure ?

It is better Manolito
Good job my friend
Now, shoot again with "something" in the foreground carefully composed.
Don't "cut" the cars Put them in or don't put them in.

Non pas trop dure
I think you're right Antonio. Maybe I was too 'close' to the image to see it. What I couldn't understand was that from a scene so lovely I couldn't produce a shot that reflected the beauty of the place. Nothing there but trees and bluebells I'm afraid which in itself is really lovely but ...
Maybe that nude is required after all - time to get my clothes off I guess
