Some oldies, inconsistently processed -

Lovely scene, but the processing is a bit nuclear for my taste. As Kevin says, they all look unnaturally bright (4 is more believable). I'd tone them down a bit (well, a lot!) and let them live or die on the comps and the quality of the light. I think a few will live!

Parrots? :p

Anywhere on the north coast or Bodmin moor should see you good!

Lovely shot. Disregarding the colour/mono debate, my only crit would be that although the light at the top of the frame is very nice, it does draw my eye upwards such that it distracts from the reflection... cropping about half of the empty space at the top (ie the brightest bit) improves the...

Not for me I'm afraid. This look seems to have been very in vogue in some circles for the last couple of years, where everyone tries to squash their histogram into the middle 75% of the grayscale. Maybe I'm the odd one out but I just don't get it. Sorry, that probably isn't very constructive!

What a set. Great processing all round. I love the slightly abstract, formal compositions in 1 and 3, and the way the clouds blend into the highest mountain tops in 2. All three are cracking images. The last doesn't do so much for me - nice enough but lacks anything to really capture the...

Some fish -

My new Apistogramma hoignei :)

Thread from the dead! Here's my current tank -

Nice capture there Neil, can't beat a bit of Porth Nanven.

Lovely scenes Richie. I'll agree with the others than #1 and #3 are stronger compositionally - although the aurora shot is obviously pretty cool there's not a lot going on otherwise. I was going to suggest that they might be a touch oversharpened but it only seems to be the small versions on...

Lovely Neil - one of my favourite spots.

I had a woefully quiet year this year. Barring one trip to Eigg I did almost no photography at all. Eigg it is then, although picking which is tricky (probably a sign of a lack of standouts rather than an abundance of choice!).
