this feels very old, even the clothes they are wearing seem old. Interesting fete you attended. Clean and sharp image.

Great handling of bw and this image is well suited for all the tonal ranges from black to white and much in between. Too bad about the man's posterior on display but I love the sharpness of the shot and the contrast is nicely done.

This photo looks really great in high res, you can even see the sawdust flying around. Your tonal ranges are fabulous but we need to see their faces hard at work and not their derrieres! Good one for the bw contest.

A very nice no-nonsense photograph with good range of tones, contrast and white to black. Tight crop helps to pull the viewer into the image and focus on the driver. A bit more emotion from the driver would have been nice but sometimes it is just what it is...next time yell out hello to the fella then there would be more communication between subject and us viewers. Still, a great shot.

Love the mood and atmosphere of this image. It reminds me of "home". Well composed and cropped. Good entry with broad gray tonality which makes your image sparkle.

Nice shot "Supergold". Good you have one tulip if perfect focus. Naughty tulip peeking head into frame makes me smile.

The glare of the white in the right side of the image steals the show. A bit more detail on the main focal point would have worked. Your image has a nice story and the title marries well with your shot.

She is soft and the blonde hair behind her detracts. Remember in photography 101 when the teacher used to tell you be careful when you shoot because you are shooting the background too, make it count. I like that this is a predator prey image.

The Girl with the Mike
avatar still26
still26 says:

I like how you caught her in 'action' and that she is oblivious to your lens. I do not mind that you cropped her hat out of the frame because the focus is on the intensity on her face. The bokeh is really diffused, had the dof been a bit different to include more detail the feeling would have been richer with a "happening" and "crowds".

This path appears to be winding around a dam or lake?
The water is very white. I am wondering if it is overexposed due to fog and sunlight reflections?
If it was originally shot in RAW, you can fix that and try to get back some detail in the water. If it was shot as JPEG, I don't think there is anything that can be done about it.

I agree with still about cropping the blurred section off the bottom.

Snowy Path
avatar still26
still26 says:

Lovely lead lines shown by the fence and the path itself winds us through the image. Have you considered cropping up to eliminate all that softness of the path at the bottom? The white halo effect around the tree....overprocessing?

Muddy Path
avatar still26
still26 says:

There are so many things to love about this emotive upload. The grungy textural feel in the leaves, the texture on the graves , and soft dof in the leaves of the tree which helps frame (visually) the image. The darkness behind the graves further adds to a mysterious and spooky feel. The shadow light play is excellent and I like your crop with the path leading us into the image.

I am fascinated by the light in this. That dark background really makes the graves stand out. They seem to be the subject of the photo though instead of the path as the subject.

Good human interaction felt with this shot. They are sharing a joke and what in heaven's name is he holding?....a rat? No, I do not mind that you cropped off half a hat because it is about the interaction and you caught that well.

Have you considered colour? Sorry, just jerking your chains. The b/w gives it another era feel and you did a good job in the cropping, nice and tight but enough marginal space. Image is sharp with good range of gray tonality.

Your Under Arrest
avatar still26
still26 says:

Good interaction shot with everyone having something to say whether verbally or in body language, well seen. You have to be careful with cropping a joints (knees) because it weakens the image as our eyes and brains tend to complete the photo and leave it quickly. I like the marginal space you have provided. A steady image.

It's not often we see steam trains anymore. Those left in this world are generally tourist attractions so which tourist attraction is this one?
You were lucky to be there when all this steam was about too. Great shot.
