    Hi,

    Just swap the “/img” and “img” tags the other way around and you should sorted

    Hope this helps.

    No worries :D

    As for the photos, I think the 2nd and 3rd one is excellent! Really nice tones and perfect DOF in the 3rd one.

    I’m not really that keen on the first one though as I find petals/stamen in the centre of the pic is just too distracting with the shallow DOF – maybe if the shot was taken at more of an angle there would be a clear point of focus for the picture.

    Good to see you got them Roses em, in the bed-

    Did I mention colour profiles?
    I’m guessing you’re using Safari,
    and things look just fine-

    but they look a lot different everywhere else-

    The only way to guarantee consistent colour
    across all the other browsers
    is to post pictures with an sRGB profile-
    (even though Safari is now available for pc’s :twisted: )

    I’d agree with j,
    2&3 for me,
    though in reverse order-

    Even though no.2’s red channel is so thoroughly blown-
    but it should be easy to bring it back if you’re going to print-

    3rd could maybe do with a little off the bottom,
    if it were me,
    and I’d also maybe look at the levels-
    it seems a bit flat-

    More nice pictures,
    nice quality to your out of focus bits-

    No worries JB – I’ll excuse the pun….

    Thanks folks but I have to confess I’m a complete beginner – I downloaded a trial version of CS3 (30 days now used) and just hit auto colour and levels so I can’t really take credit for the tones/levels but they did look nice on the LCD.
    Colour profiles – Safari – your talking Japanese to me there I’m afraid.

    In terms of Depth of field I’m not too sure how to adjust it – it’s just seems to be working fairly well for me at the minute.
    As for the 1st one I actually like the way there is an element of the picture that is too close to focus on. Although I’d agree in this case it’s probably a little distracting – I’d have tried a different angle but I thought the background colour worked really well in this case. I suppose I’d have to sacrifice one thing for another….

    I just tried a few different things to see how they worked and like them all in they’re own little way – Of course they could be better and I do appreciate your comments and suggestions and if you can clarify any more of your points on the technical stuff I’d be delighted.

    Thanks again,
    Colm
