Thanks again António for the nice comment as always

Nice with the usual style
I like the "confusion" between the plants and the OOF background
Perhaps - just perhaps - if the tree at the top right was not there... I wonder if it wouldn't be better
I also like the crop factor-
Oh! and thank you for ... you know

Highway 6, Kingston on South Island NZ. Heading south to Doubtful Sound just before mid-day on 8 Dec 2010.

Unusual vertical crop with great visual impact.
Why is one stripe yellow and the other white ? In fact, I didn't notice this when I was in NZ some years ago...

[Antonio Correia]

The different colour temperatures between the Budha's statue and the city make it more visible in visual terms.
However, the image makes me want to see more at the right of what - it is not I suppose - it looks like an island (where the Budha is).
On the other hand, perhaps because of the season you are in now, the mist is rather present at the far end which convey a certain peculiar ambiance to the shot.

Is this Kolkata ? Can't you shoot again a bit latter with more lights from the streets and houses ? Can't you show us if this is an island ? And it's way in...
Please darken the sky a bit enhancing more the statue.

Thank you ... Ashwin

Back at a real computer for the first time in a while
Antonio and Chris, thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful!

[Nicola]

this is a view of the most important church of Pienza... this is not a marvellous photo, I know;at least not as good as Pienza Pecorino cheese! have you ever taste it?
C&C welcome!
I'm posting a lot of my old pictures in order to understand how I can shot them better next time!
thanks!
bye
Nicola


I 'll go back in Pienza next september, when there will be the "Palio": a strange competition.. see at the bottom of thath url http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pienza

Antonio - the yellow stripe indicates that a no-passing area on the driver's side of the road is either just about to begin, or just finishing. A solid yellow line indicates "no passing" at all, at all. The white stripes are the usual middle of the road indicators.

And if you didn't notice when here...I hope you weren't driving!!

Photo made last autumn in Styria, which is a south-eastern province of Austria.

Hi Antonio, it's to do with overtaking. In this pic there is a 'hidden' dip in the road ahead and the broken yellow line is a warning about the danger ahead; the line then became solid, meaning no overtaking. K.

Thank you, Sahil! The pic was cropped, find attached foto in original dimensions ooC ....

Hi Nicola,

I like the composition of both these, a few ideas to improve might be;
#1 looks slightly off level; a little clockwise rotation would fix.
#2 looks a little flat and may respond to Local Contrast Enhancement, a WB adjustment and a more attractive foreground interest.

However, not everyone may agree those ideas would improve them, I am but one person.

Update: oh dear; upon re-reading my words the next morning, this does look rather negative, I do hope you realise that there is far more 'right' about these than the few things I have mentioned. You're 80% there and picking up a few technical skills is easier than what you've already achieved.

Hope that helps,

Got up early and headed out to catch a sunrise. What I found I think I like even better. Frost and steam filtered sun. Made for a great shot and some day my PP will be good enough to remove the drain pipe.

thanks for suggestions!
in fact the #2 is taken with tele(200mm by memory).. it doesn't help for flatness issue! I try with LCE and WB

don't worry for your words!
I realised what you mean! and I'm proud for them!!
however I'm looking for critics, as critics help me improve
thanks once again

I usually write a few lines about the photos everyone inserts in this thread I started, but sometimes I am either too busy or not in a place with easy access to the web.
At this moment I am too busy.
However, I am aware that you all have been very kind to keep posting images and I will do my best to answer as soon as possible.
Thank you for your comprehension

Thank you, Antonio, for lending so much of yourself to CiC. Your contributions are tremendous! I noticed, when I first came in September, that you said that you would have to leave for a little while. I noticed that others picked up the slack in these useful threads and, then, when you came back, they had lost very little momentum. Hopefully, it will, somewhat, happen again. Thanks for all of your work, here.

Hmmm, this probably should really be a PM but, here it rests!

A bit of countryside around Coober Pedy, Australia.
