This is really well done. You've managed to freeze the movement of the biker while portraying a sense of speed and movement in the background. In my opinion a tighter crop would have had more impact but that's just a small point. I particularly like the mud/sand spraying up behind him.

This is simply beautiful. Fantastic use of shallow depth of field and light. I adore the warm glow of the sun coming through the plant.

Hi Ollie, this photo stood out of your portfolio because it reminds me slightly of my piano shot. It's great to meet keen photographers of a similar age to me on Usefilm, particularly when they take such good photos! Thanks for all your comments on my photos.

A great photo made all the more effective by the complementary frame!

The sky in this image is magnificent, and the white trees are quite fascinating. Unfortunately I think the monument is slightly underexposed, losing some of its impact.

What an effective image. I prefer this one with the guy in focus rather and the balls blurred rather than vice versa.

Lovely composition. The way you have zoomed in fairly close gives this photo more impact than a whole body shot would have done. The warm colours really complement the snowy backdrop as well.

Brilliant work! The high contrast and sharpness make the boat and derelict hut really stand out. The texture and patterns of the clouds are fabulous as well. I also think you did the right thing in making this a B&W shot.

Wow! Such a dark photograph makes the pigeons seem rather mysterious and sinister, especially with that ominous dark cloud looming over as well.

Lovely shot. I am always mentioning my love of the shallow depth of field and this picture is certainly helped by this technique, making the icicles really stand out against what would otherwise be quite a distracting background. I think you've done the right thing converting to greyscale, putting emphasis on the beautiful shapes and textures visible.

Looking purely at the thumbnail I was about to comment that your verticals are not straight. But having straight verticals might defeat the object of a photo of a building world renowned for its slight tilt(!) Anyway, great photo. Nice to have a different perspective of the tower and the mono works really well.

There's a great spectrum of colours in this photo, enhanced by the texture of the clouds. The silhouetting of the trees on the horizon is really effective as well. Whereabouts did you take this?

The juxtaposition of the sharp leaves with the blurred leaves is surprisingly pleasing to the eye. Lovely vibrant colours as well.

In my opinion this photo is slightly underexposed.The foliage at the foot of the mountain has little detail visible which is a shame. However, I like the composition as the tree and river "frame" the mountain well.

Interesting perspective with some really strong clean lines. I think it might be more pleasing if the top right corner of the building was in shot, but that's just my opinion.

It's a pity the birds and writing couldn't have been a bit sharper, but nevertheless it's a really opportune grab shot. Thank goodness pigeons can't read..otherwise they wouldn't have sat there long enough for you to take their picture!

Initially these seems such a simple landscape but there is actually so much to look out. I love the dramatic clouds in the sky as well as the various textures of soil we can see in the three sections of field.

I wouldn't actually the exposure is too dark. Any darkness really adds to the tense atmosphere created by the tension in the sky and those foreboding mountains.

An excellent shot. The exposure is perfect - clearly defined shadows with no burning out of the snow or sky. I particularly like the flowing line in the foreground which leads the eye across the picture.

Not bad for an experiment!! I think the lighting is spot on. It might have been nice to see the tips of the leaf but overall a really simple yet effective still life.

Really serene atmosphere depicted here. However I can't help thinking that this photo would have been better left in colour as I can imagine there would have been some really striking whites and vivid blues to see. Lovely composition nevertheless.

What a cute little guy!! I always say it, but the shallow of depth of field really works well to focus the eye on the subject. The sepia tone adds an element of calm to the photo.
