I particularly like image #2, there’s a great sense of mystery, a feeling that there might be something out there, just out of sight.

Great work.

Got this one at Killiney Beach last Sunday the 15th, I wanted to get a hint of the light coming in from the seaward side.

As a tattoo fan I like this image, and I like the mask as it draws attention to the eyes.

I would like to see it in black and white to see how it compares to the colour. I believe that the tattoos will look better as they are mostly done in blacks and greys.

Thanks guys

It was a little nippy all right, but it was due to the wind, until I took up photography I never reallt noticed how windy Ireland is, even though I play golf I never comprehended it bedfore.

The lights are turned off at sunrise, this light has a green light, the light opposite the harbour entrance is red to aid navigation into the harbour.

Nice image Warren.

This is just my opinion, I would have less sky, frame the image so that the horizon is about a third of the way from the top. Also I would move the mountain is to either the right or left of centre, and if possible have the stream drawing the eye to the mountain by positioning it in such a way that it looks like it is running towards it.

As I say, just my opinion and I am sure those who know more than me will tell you I’m an idiot. :D

Thanks guys.

No flash was used and blurring was possible as it was a breezy day.

With the 1st image the colour of the leaf against the dull background just caught my eye, it was almost like it had fallen in that place just to garner some attention.

Your images really demonstrate the light pollution that hangs over the city.

As an amateur astronomer it is a pain, last night I went down to Glencree, just south of the city in Wicklow, lovely clear skies. I took some wide field shots of the stars and the sky took on a distinctly orange brown tint.

It is a growing problem, not only for astronomers, but also for wildlife, notcurnal animals are having a tough time, as are the birds.

IMHO, the pole doesn’t do it for me either.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The image was shot in a pine forest, so the the choice of background was pretty limited, no matter what angle I looked the background was pretty much the same.

I like the cobweb too, and to be honest I could not see when I was looking at the mushrooms, I was first aware of it when I downloaded it to the computer.

This is my first attempt at photographing anything like this, do you think that the application of a true macro lens would change it in any way?

Many thanks for the tips, I’m learning bit by bit. :D

What is the best technique to get the entire image sharp?
