Urban regeneration

I know this one works well in black and white and I did the conversion to black and white in the raw converter before playing with levels, curves and adding a little sharpness. However, as a black...

Jaipur :: Shooting into the sun

Kind of enjoying this image a lot. I was messing about at the time by shooting into the sun and adding a little flash. This image has been modified a little with some toning in the highlights and...

This is pretty cool Ashypants! The composition is spot on and it has a three dimensional feel to it. I'm thinking a vignette might help to focus the eye more into the flow of the water. Nothing too...

That's very cool for a "I'm bored, what shall I do" photo!! I like the split toning idea too. Also can you remove some of the small dark grey spec near the bottom left? My eye keeps going there...

This is definitely a good shot and I agree about the cars. The sky adds impact but feels like it's a little 'noisy' after the processing. Can you smooth out the noise a little?

The re-edited version is definitely an improvement for the eyes. With the second image the only thing I might want to do is pull his jumper around a bit, it feels too bulky for me. Don't know if...

Agreed - also sometimes it comes down to convenience for where you are and what you're doing. I've certainly found using an umbrella easy to organise and quick to set up. But if you have the time,...

Absolutely agree that you shouldn't feel shy about photographing people like this, but also you should throw some money in their pot. I like the use of black and white in these images. They have a...

The depth of field and repetition of the tree behind the focus point is really cool. Great shot.

I prefer the cropped image - much more dramatic. However, it feels like it's lacking some contrast. Can you use levels to add to the blacks and make it even more dramatic?

The cropped version brings the man up to the upper third and that's often a more pleasing composition. Have you tried different tonings?
