Hi Teunis, thanks for your comment on my photo. This is a lovely shot, quite serene.

This is a really poignant photograph that clearly demonstrates the isolation and desolation that is so strongly associated with this place. I think the black & white is very effective at increasing this sense of loneliness. Well done!

Really striking image conveying the idea that this road goes on forever and ever. I especially like the definition of the clouds in the bright blue sky. One suggestion I have is to crop the bottom of the image slightly perhaps just below where the grass ends. I don't think all the tarmac below this adds very much to the picture. What do other people think?

How right you are. Spring is just around the corner and here in southern England we have only had one day of proper snow! This is a really nice photo of the tools that have probably become somewhat neglected throughout the winter. I particularly like the "goldenish" glow this picture appears to have.

This is a lovely composition. The shallow depth of field really makes the foremost flower (which is very well focused) stand out. The bright colours look fantastic against the black background.

What a lonely, desolate location. There is not much to look at in this picture but I think that is what makes it so effective. I especially like the murky green tone you have used as this helps create the sombre mood I assume you were looking for.

This is another really interesting picture Ollie, I wish I had your imagination and eye for a shot. I think the contrast between the sharp, focused orange and the blurred background is very effective. A bit of fill in flash to brighten the colour of the orange might have been good - it's always worth experimenting. And in answer to your question - no, i don't think there is anything mums can't do!

Cool patterns! I really like the way the light catches on the edges of the bits of ice. The image is sharply focused as well.

Here's my quick attempt at removing noise. Obviously it might not be your cup of tea and some detail has been lost on the figure standing up. Let me know what you think.

This is a beautiful image - it is amazing what one can see in just one small drop of water. Well done for seeing this interesting reflection. As usual I think the shallow depth of field is very attractive and the green against black really stands out.

It's so frustrating! We get snow like this in southern England but it NEVER settles! Great shot Dimitris, you've done well do freeze the snow and I too think the perspective is great. The blue tone adds to the cold, dismal atmosphere that makes youso grateful to be sat in front of the PC and not out there!

How strange to see such bright, vibrant colours underneath such a dark, foreboding sky. Well done for being in the right place at the right time to seize this marvellous photographic opportunity. The Fuji Velvia has done you proud in capturing the emerald green grass so strikingly.

I recently commented on a photo taken in the USA that here in Britain we cannot match that sort of natural beauty. How wrong I was. The light in this photograph is undoubtedly magical and I am stunned by the stillness of the water, which reflects the exquisite colours of the sky so well. Congratulations on such a magnificent shot.

What an absolutely stunning photo. I am not sure what to say except that the exposure, composition and colours are perfect. This location looks to be the budding photographer's dream. I hate to say it but I don't think where I live in England has anything to match such natural beauty.

You are right, Carla, the near part of the sea really does look like an expanse of silver foil. I love the parallel lines of this image found in the sea, sand and the wall in the foreground and I also like the dark figure which adds interest and a sense of scale. My only criticism is that the part of the wall in the very foreground is not parallel and makes the image feel slightly untidy. How about cropping this out?

This is a fabulous composition. The shallow depth of field is very effective (as it always seems to be) and the improvised frame of the plastic pipe leads the eye into the subjects successfully.

Intriguing perspective making a very interesting shot. I particularly like the shallow depth of field. I imagine you made this image intentionally quite grainy but I feel it might be more impressive with the noise removed. I'll give it a go and post the result.

Great silhouette work here, Massimo. Initially I thought they were cows in the middle! The colouring and mistiness bring a calmness to this image.

If only all my photos could be as impressive as one of your test shots!! This is a really cool photo with a gritty, journalistic feel to it,a perfect accompaniment for an article about your band. The lighting and perspective here are really effective and the reflection behind adds interest. Well done!

A very serene photo that makes me extremely envious that we do not get such fantastic snow where I live. I agree with James that the sepia tone adds a feeling of warmth and in my opinion makes the scene slightly surreal. The fence in the background is a tad cluttered and distracting, are there any viewpoints that eliminate this?

Lovely composition, I just feel the image would have a greater impact if it were metered so that the snow in the foreground was a brilliant white. Unfortunately that would leave the sky very overexposed so I understand why you left it like this. One way to overcome the problem would be to take two separate exposures for the sky and the foreground and to combine them in Photoshop.

On seeing the thumbnail I thought this was a puppet or a cartoon. The eyeball and his expression are just hilarious - a photographer's dream! I think you've done well to get in close (I don't think I'd have gone any closer!) I might crop a bit of the grass from above his head as it isn't really needed.

This is a stunning floral macro shot. The shallow depth of field and perfect focus really make it stand out from the page. The fabulous,rich, vivid colours against a pitch black backdrop are also wonderful. I have tried similar shots but never with such marvellous results. Congratulations.

The background is a frosted glass window in our kitchen. I think the speckles are a resilt of the diffuse glow filter I used.

Nicely focused macro Janosi, I just feel it would have been worthwhile searching for a better viewpoint from which to take this shot. In my view the overexposed sky and the flared spot on the tip of the tulip distract from the beauty of the flower. How about raising the camera slightly and using the lush green grass as your backdrop?

I find it quite irritating that, living only a few miles from me, you are able to photograph such stunning sunsets! All the shots you've posted from that area recently have been amazing, especially when compared with the drab, grey skies I always seem to get near me. The colours in this image are great, I also think that little overexposed patch at the botton adds to the almost fiery atmosphere.

This is one of the best macro shots of a plant that I've seen. The depth of field and focus is perfect and the exposure is also spot on. Looking around my garden all I can see are dull greens and browns so the vibrant colour of these leaves is really refreshing to see. Well done!
