Just a quick grab of a cub, no more than a week or so old, sunning itself in the brambles at the back of my garden. No processing, other than a crop. Looks like there are 3 of them about with mum, so hopefully be able to get some better ones soon.

I recently had a hard disk problem with an ageing pc. It meant that the current installation of XP was no longer bootable, but the rest of the PC was fine. I simply bought a new hard drive and was then faced with the dilemma of re-installing XP, or going another route. Given the impending demise...

Gotta say I totally agree with this. :clap: Too many people are hung up on 'the rules', and rule of thirds in particular. It suits some shots but most definitely not all. :nono: Get out there and express your individuality. Unless you have been commissioned by someone, it's YOUR picture, and...

Love both of these but disagree with those who want more sea in the second shot. It's all about the sky and so I'd leave it exactly as it is.

Also nice to see one without bloody railings around it!!

I like both of these. However, I do think that there is a noticable blue cast and it especially affects the stones that are present in the foreground of the second shot. My eye was immediately drawn to them and my first reaction was, "that looks a bit unnatural".

Following the comments above I've tried cropping to get rid of some of the sky and right hand side but cant come up with a version that I like. Guess I have to put it down as one of those locations that just doesnt quite work, although I suspect it could have been better if the sky was different.

Sunday sunrise at some old, now abandoned, sewage outfalls (so the title is a little misleading!) at Eastney. Eastney Bunny Pipes by s_a_h, on Flickr As usual, C&C welcome.

As a photographer, I consider landscape to be my first love. Having said that, I struggle to find inspiration sometimes and turn to this forum for ideas on locations, whats good etc. Ladybower is a fair distance from me, but is one of those places that I have on my list to visit sometime, and...

Here's acouple from me, also from Gunwharf Gunwharf Fireworks 2012 by s_a_h, on Flickr Gunwharf Fireworks 2012 by s_a_h, on Flickr

Thanks Steve. Know what you mean about the first shot. It was so windy, the only way I could keep the leaf on the bench was to put something on top. I tried to make it look like the twig had fallen down too but it definitely doesnt look quite right. Will have a go at the PP again on the second...

Couple taken in a local park earlier today. Milton Park Autumn by s_a_h, on Flickr Milton Park Autumn by s_a_h, on Flickr Not my usual style but thought I'd try something a bit different. C&C welcome. Be gentle with me ;)

Stuff the boats, I have a longing for some of that blue sky!!!!!! Oh and I like the composition too :)

Reminded me of one I found earlier this year. Butser Limeworks-1107.jpg by s_a_h, on Flickr At least they tried to put it in a skip!! Agree with steve about the focus even if you'd prefer the subject not to be there.

As everyone seems to have indicated it's a toss up between 1 and 4. Personally I go for number 4, the lead in to the shot is much better, in ! you get distracted by the open space under the first arch, whereas in 4 it leads you to look all the way along the length of the structure. Absolutely...
