Just looked at your post and you seem to have used the flickr web page address in the IMG tags.

Right click on the picture at flickr and choose properties. Copy the web address you see there and paste that here in between IMG tags and your pictures will show.

Thanks for the assist...I've cracked it now :)

they are a bit small to comment on tbh, any chance of showing them a bit bigger?- like 800px wide?

[LJ Noir]

Good point. Here they are in large format. I'm learning...slowly...

And now they are too large :lol:

The forum has a picture size limit of 1024 pixels and these are oversize!

You need to choose the smaller size or they will have to be links to the pictures instead. I think flickr can do 1024 but I didn't see that option on your flickr page earlier. 800 pixels is the ideal size for forum viewing.

As to the pictures.

First one is not bad. You need ND grad filters to hold back that bright sky. Possibly just a touch too much sky.

Second one has no real subject and cars that just look in the way.

Last one I'm struggling with. I don't like mono and this just looks like a picture converted to mono because you could. Sorry. Probably just me :)

I've been to Niagara Falls quite a few times now and the American Falls are really difficult to get a nice shot of as they are so boring and don't hold as much interest as the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. I find the sun flare too distracting in shot 1.

In shot 2 I know there are better shots to get of the wheel, you could have gone over to the car park on your right in this shot and gotten a better photo, or even stood straight on on the little plaza in front of the wheel.

And shot 3 is too harsh and lacks subject and the b&w just doesn't work for me.

Just keep on trying and don't be disheartened.

I've edited your post back to links for now. Feel free to change it back to IMG tags so the pictures show once you have a size that is within the forum rules.

I really like the first one.
