Vast

Lovely countryside Liz - looks a long walk. The road bending out of line of sight creates a sense of mystery for the viewer. Like it.

Hi Liz that countryside looks as if it stretches for miles, perfect for Vast. I like the inclusion of the posts and the road, it leads you on a journey ...a really nice composition.

 

[Emja]

Looks like a lovely place to be Liz. I love the way the fence leads you right into the image.

 

[pjm1]

Hi Liz, that's a nice image and definitely on theme for Vast. I might like a touch more of the road in the shot - I'm not sure? But well taken and some lovely light falling across the landscape - it looks like sunset is on its way over to the left?

 

[Allan.H]

Hi, I am with Paul a bit more of the road would have been nice but regardless s nice clean shot of the landscape

 

[wallyboy]

Nice image where's me walking boots.

 

[Minx]

Horizontal - great colours and textures an interesting shot
Vast - Lovely view I want to follow the road round the corner to see whats there

Thanks everyone. The view is across the Dee Estuary from the Wirral side and it is indeed a very nice walk. However, I have to confess the walk isn't as remote as it looks there is a very nice farmhouse cafe just around the bend .

Rough
Had a go at HDR for this one...

[Carl Ayling]

Certainly looks Rough Liz. Good choice and composition with those angled textured lines. Not a big fan of HDR and besides, don't have a clue how, why and when to apply it so cannot comment on the process. Good for you trying out new techniques.

 

[CliveH]

Nice composition and the b & w works well.

 

[LC2]

Ahha, it was done with HDR was it? My first guess was winding the sharpening slider all the way to the right..
A very interesting effect and certainly brings out the roughness of the wood
I think that is an appropriate use of the processing techniques.

 

[anitacv]

love the texture in your 'rough' shot and that you used B&W.

 

[Minx]

Rough - the effect really suits the theme, great picture

 

[wallyboy]

I think the BG needs separation from main subject, to give it a bit of contrast nicely on theme tho.

 

[Emja]

Your processing is very in your face - but certainly shouts out the texture in this case.

 

[d00d]

Nice and tight in the frame with OTT detail.

 

[DowntonMini]

Love the composition for Rough some really nice detail and textures too. The PP works for me

 

[susiejb]

I don't usually like HDR but it works really well there Liz, it certainly emphasizes the texture in the wood.....excellent choice for the theme.

Yes, I can see what you mean about the background - thanks Walter

Covered

[Cobra]

Nicely in focus blossom Liz.
Colourful too

 

[susiejb]

The blossom is beatiful at the moment isn't it Liz .....super shot of those lovely massed flowers.

 

[LC2]

Hi Liz.
Good shot for Colourful (oh bugger )
Seriously though, nicely sharp, on theme and I think the instagram crop suits it.

 

[posiview]

Covered, on theme, slightly underexposed and I suspect they were a bit more colourful, but nice detail and fills the frame.

Cheers.

 

[Carl Ayling]

Beautiful Liz - like that it fills the full frame.

 

[pjm1]

Hi Liz, I'm less of a fan of rough as it feels too artificial to me, but I appreciate why you wanted to try it and it's always good to give things a go.

Covered is very pretty - some nice light there.

 

[DowntonMini]

Hi Liz very nice image for Covered lovely details and colours

 

[Emja]

I love the light on those upper blooms - very pretty.

Thanks Susie. They so quickly disappear - just a few faded flowers left now.

Colourful

[Cobra]

Plenty of colour there Liz, that's for sure!

 

[DowntonMini]

Very Colourful Liz one of my ideas was to go down to our local canal basin but never got there

 

[LC2]

Very colourful Liz. I think Id have pumped the iso up a bit and gone with a smaller aperture to try to get more of the shot in sharp focus, but that's only a minor quibble (and when you're looking on the back of the camera as opposed to a screen it's going to be hard to appreciate exactly what the DoF was).

Judging from where you must be (assuming that this marina is local to you), then you've got a great shot for 'entrance' just down the canal too. it's a long time since I've been there, but getting the lift silhouetted against a morning or evening sky would be very impressive.
