long lens......................
Great shot author. I am assuming this is a zoo shot.

I see your point, and if this is the case, I stand corrected.

lovely capture author.. what filter have you used here.?

sorry author, I must be missing the point of this......... what is luxury about it?

Right............... thanx for the explanation. Not being one who uses flash to any great extent, I did not know that. Every day is a scool day

is this vignette author?.............its not allowed here

you are absolutely right author, I hate crowds, I love people, but not all in the same place at the same time, this really is not my idea of fun. I am sure to some it is a wonderful way of taking a vacation.......... and I am very glad you had fun

well used!..................... not for a few years I think..........

I'm with you there Ted.............. two weeks trapped on board a ship with this lot would drive me nuts...............

this is cool............ tell me it is zoom, and not PS.

all in the cause of photographic study and science you understand................

I know you said it is a penthouse author, but it doesn't really look all that luxurious to me. Also, you could do with straightening it a little.

Yes......... perfectly executed, well done author.

nice set up, but is this macro, as per the guide.

.............. I want one of these............... excellent.

I agree........... a longer exposure, with a wider aperture, would have given a beautiful soft warm color because of the setting sun.

I don't put people down, I make constructive crticism, based on many years of photography experience. Unfortunately, some people cannot take it. I am not interested in 'putting myself up' as you say.

so why I get a neg point for making a pos comment..............??????...... c'mon you people, the thumbs up is not rocket science, you can figure it out.

what were your exposure settings for this.

what are we seeing here?........... it looks like multiple shots of a venetian blind.

an excellent piece of work my friend........... perfect in every detail.

one of them is a statue............... so, imo, it is on topic.

then I stand corrected............... I like the image, it just didn't seem to fit the guide until your explanation............... good luck.

nice idea author, but a little dark in places.

No, I didn't have to look up the meaning, I just had to find one worded simply enough for you to understand..............

You are not the only one who takes pics for a living, and it certainly does not make you right!

sorry author, but to me, this looks like a stack of colored cards and papers, not a magazine or newspaper.

that is a spooky image................. nicely captured.

but you have to persons standing unnaffected by the movement.............how? if the camera was moving, they should not appear like this.

Quote"...........A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer."

There appear to be no faces in this, therefore it is not a portrait.

not really a portrait.

this is a family?

better...........

better....

so why the neg points................ this thumbs up and down system is being abused.....

a good pic of some old bibles, but it doesn't exactly show any particular place in the home.

good effort, shame about the bad focus though.

images using the same subject in the same location give away your identity, and are in breach of the anonymity rules. you need to remove or replace one of you entries before they both get removed

excellent work ............. a well deserved win, well done.

this is gruesome looking....................nice capture.

nice effort, just a little flat imo. some contrast and color control would sort this.

spectacular close up author, very well executed. the colors are stunning. only one thing, imo, it could have been just a little sharper.

good effort, just a little bright in my opinion.

it is not PS........... read the sbs!!, the rust was purposely put there using chemicals, this shot is on topic................ nice work author, well done.

looks a little like dragon fruit!

excellent macro capture, .......... and the word you look for Shikyo, is 'nib'.

looks like a couple of 'nice boys....' ....disussing the keepers bum......................

good catch though.

sorry author, I don't see so much 'split second timing' here. this is a guard, performing a regular movement. it is not difficult to shoot such a thing imo.

I have seen and shot 'Trash the Dress', but this is fantastic........ so cool. If this does not win, there should be a stewards enquiry........

still quite a bit of gray in this.
