D3100 it is! My tesco clubcard vouchers have arrived, so off to jessops to pick it up this arvo... :thumbs: ooooo, i can now feel properly at home on the d3100 owners' thread...

lovely crisp shots - no.2 is my fave altho I'm loving the gull on the left in no.3! any chance of a crop of just him (although it would obviously need a bit of sky cloning over his mate...)

these are tremendous! Haven't tried it myself (yet!) but have seen a fair few and wondered how it's done, so thanks for the info... these are great considering you've only just started with it :)

sorry, i wnated to be more detailed but I couldn't quite put my finger on what didn't look right :D looking with fresh eyes, I think it's the highlights of the stone wall... lovely photo though - think would look great aas a large print on the wall.

thanks for the comment Andrew - can I ask your opinion on how you'd process it? I'm a relative novice with Lightroom - it's too easy to get stuck in doing the same kind of style and going with what you know, so I think it's always good to learn new tips on different ways of processing...

thanks for the feedback guys :) thanks Scrubdog - yeah now you've mentioned it the white dots are really distracting... shall try getting rid of them... Grandslammer, I know what you mean - that's the effect I was originally trying to get in the 2nd pic - shot it at 1/125, whilst tracking...

hmmm, i wonder about cropping the bottom instead of the top?

ha, i'm not old enough to remember that! It just seems like a bit of overkill these days... having said that, I can't remember seeing many bus stations that I've actually thought look brilliant, so maybe it ain't that bad in that context... however, it certainly doesn't deserve to be made a...

all excellent - number 1 is stunning, but also love the composition and colour in no.3

lovely - ideal for a picture dictionary, alongside the word "Autumn"... TBH, i like the people just where they are :) Big enough to make them out as people walking dogs and add focus to the photo; not too big to make them the subject.

2 is quite stunning - feels like a black and white movie of 1920s London!

yeah, i think no.1 is prefeable, the second just doesn't look quite right

wow, stunning! Hard to pick a favourite as all are great, but I love the drama of the 3rd one

i think it works really well - lovely shot and nicely processed. For me, the original crop is the better - I think it feels a little less enclosed and better balanced...

i find the first 2 work well; the others notsomuch. number 2 definitly the most interesting of them all, mainly i think because of the top quarter of the photo - the people and the paths all really draw the eye to the river going under the bridge as the focal point of the photo and balances it...
