Hi Alan, it looks like I'm WEEKS behind on your thread:bonk:
Liquid, nice capture of the droplets. I like the texture from the background too, what is that?
Up, wow those stairs look steep. I like the motion blur on the pink slippers it really helps you think up
Duo, I like number one as well, purely for the size of them! They're fascinating looking things.
I do like the gulls as well, they look very hopeful that you've got some nibbles!
Flow. Nice & simple, I like the blue background. I think I'd like to see more of what the water is flowing into, is it a cup? The left hand side of the receptacle is a little bright for me as well.
Friendship, number two for me. The position of the people, the detail in the sky and the bands of light on the wet sand all add to the atmosphere. Number three doesn't work for me, tool bright & the detail is lost.
Change, the sold sign looks a tad OOF to me! A good idea for the theme though
I prefer the traffic light triptych, simple but clever!
Natural, I agree about a little gardening needs doing! I like the natural setting, however, the grass at the front is OOF and a little off putting!
Phew, I'm all caught up!
Oh yes! You can tweak SOOOO much more on a RAW file! I would suggest shooting in both for now (subject to card space) and stash the RAW files somewhere until you have time to learn about editing them. Once you do you'll go back and think 'why don't I have that in RAW'?:bonk:
