    Magnificent. Just be careful nobody steals it because this could easily be a very high level stock photo and earn you some good £$ :thumb:

    Was just sitting on the loo going through a National Geographic magazine looking at photos literally thinking about some inspiration & analyzing Nat Geo photos in terms of 'Why they're interesting/were picked/judged as good photos." So after looking at compositions, subjects etc... I see this little spider running in the corner of the bathroom... BAM MY OWN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTO SHOOT!

    Dog is great, but I'd be tempted to cut out the fuzzy tree on the right.

    Its good to add depth, but thats a bit distracting.

    He's a beautiful animal. And I love his expression; wise and kind.

    Yeh, the tree is a bit of a distraction, but I like having the water bowl in it to add a bit of colour.

    Thanks for the complimentary remarks. He is indeed kind (and beautiful). Wise? Not so much :D

    OH WOW The Green panorama is so beautiful!
    Looks like not from this world...
    From clouds, to detail on the rock fence the image is gorgeous!
    The motion and composition is great too. You shot different images? Bracketing? Please tell more about it.

    As for the dog, I don't like the editing. Very soft, seems like the clarity slider got dragged too much to the left... I don't mind the tree, and do like the composition + the soft tones. Blue bowl works for me.

    Today was a very exciting day for me. Got to shoot FOOD!
    First time doing food photography... Sadly was not really warned about it... so did not have a chance to read up on it. Here's one shot. Will post more later, just got back home:

    Wowser - thanks for the positivity - I haven't really made any of my photos public before - maybe I should do it more often :)

    The photo was no great technical feat on my part, I just happened to like the view during a walk and snapped it in RAW format. When I got home I put it onto Lightroom and just ran an exposure brush over the sky and the foreground (i.e. the wall and the bracken) to darken the sky and lighten the foreground.

    Glad you like it, I do too. Although the branch dangling in the top right niggles me a bit.

    I know that this probably isn't a good photo in technical terms, but I bloody love it :)

    motorsportcfd - Wow, the most they allow you at F1 circuits AFAIK is a 200mm lens. That's some pretty beastly kit.

    KidMod - love those shots. :thumb:

    CMW - that looks pretty good for "not being warned about it". Looks like something that could be used in an advertisement or something.

    Shot on white and shot on black, think the white version needed more separation from background and a better flag in place, my black background now kills far to much light need something not velvet/fleece like for colour work.
