If I am to be honest, a bit too 'in yer face', with very flat, uniform (flash?) lighting that fails to flatter, and exposes spots and skin flaws rather harshly. Better to pull back just a bit, with natural lighting, and some very easy photoshopping on the 'spigs'. The focus has to be spot on too, on the eyes.

Thank you for the comments, I do appreciate the critique and advice, I was trying to convey that their flaws added to their 'charm'.

 

[red14]

I agree about the lighting, but I really do like the close up "in yer face" aspect. Window light may have worked better?

Thanks for you comments, sounds like good advice as well. I rarely post a picture, I am not very good, but I do try often. Some day, maybe, I'll get the hang of it.

Are these statues a permanent feature now, or are they just there for a limited time.

Great photo, love the silky water.

Afraid not. They were there for only a short time.

That's a nice shot Brian, great sky, good movement in the water, really nice B&W conversion and the three figures in just about the right place.

I do like these David, the first two in particular, the high contrast processing really suits the subject, good work matey

 

[minnnt]

Cheers Iain. I went particularly heavy on the contrast and clarity.

I like the first two very much m8, great high contrast and a real gritty look to them. Almost bordering on a lith' (film) presentation.

Couple of nice shots Jon, really like the portrait shot. Great expression and a very pleasing angle.

"Maybe a slight crop from the top would improve the composition"

I'm a new member but thought I would add a photo to this thread. I was on a photography weekend workshop at the Hepworth Centre, Wakefield and just taking lots of shots. This one was taken with an Olympus SZ-31MR and processed in black and white.

[minnnt]

You even graced this one with a title that was understandable.

It's a great take Matt. You can almost see inside his mind through his glistening eyes.

You'll do just fine at this stuff mate.

That works pretty good for me Mark, great idea, well composed, and some good movement all around the main subject.

Great shot Matt, good powerful composition, nice contrasty lighting, and a very good B&W conversion.
