Hi all.

Miki, thanks for your well-grounded opinions. Point got. This is not one of my best shots in any way although it has sparked quite a fiesty conversation! I know there is no central point for the viewer’s eye to be drawn to however is this ALWAYS essential? I am a lover of all things journalistic and believe that some measure of interest can be found everywhere in a picture. That said, the strongest images usually grab you immediately with an obvious and clear message.

I am very well aware I have a long way to go regarding this type of photography. (I was in Brussels this Summer and had a rather nasty experience with an angry citizen who did not appreciate his picture being taken. It was largely my fault but I am learning to be smarter…..!That kind of experience however does throw you back a bit!)

Thanks all for opinions and comments,

Jemima (on another point, I am not a ‘he’…. :D :D)

The second one is my favorite but all of them are fabulous. Good job.

Thanks all for the comments. When I was in NY I wanted to get real life people shots. This might look a little ‘snapshoty’ to some, but for me it reflects the metropolitan NY. Businessmen, African-Americans, students, moms…..Go NY!!

Hi John. Thanks for your positive comments!! This is actually a home-grown carrot (weird shape) on a suit jacket.

I was quite excited to get this rather odd result. Glad you liked it.

Thanks Isabella. True, there’s an odd mood in this one. She looks like she’s dreading a coming ordeal…I know what you mean about there being no true white…I’ll see what I can do!

Hi Isabella, yes, I’d say you’re right there. I over sharpened this one a tad too much.

I suppose his expression makes the picture for me. He was one of the Croagh Patrick climbers and I took this as he was coming down. You can see the mountain there in the background. He looked none-too-pleased to see me!

Really like this! The daisies, the boy and the dog are all quite idyllic. Did you try a black and white conversion..?

Love the first portrait – quite atmospheric! And the last one is good too (maybe just boost the contrast a bit).
Keep up the good work!
