Really??? That's strange

Fair comment. I did realize that and I wanted to take the shot again, but didn't have the opportunity.

I would've cropped off the left hand side and the bottom, so that the head was positioned in the top left third, but you still had the whole wing on the right hand side. I dont know whether the 'experts' would say that it would fit the brief better like that. It's just my opinion. So ignore me if you want

I used to feel the competition took over my life but I took some advice from a friend on here, tried a more laid back approach, didn't let it take over my life and nw feel I still have a weekend. I enjoy how the comp makes me think, get out and try new things. But I have found the level. The balance. I'm happier.

Sorry a bit late with crits this week as I have been away for a few days, unfortunately I didn't gey to vote either but my vote would have gone to Highland Scenics I thought this was a great close up shot with a nice shallow dof that filled the frame and was bang on theme.

Up - Deena - Eye On You

A nice sharp shot and a well deserved winner.

Down - Kezpok - Orchid

Again another nice sharp shot the only thing for me was I found it a little dark maybe a little more light would have helped.

Thanks Deena and Kezpok for the crits always appreciated.

Yes I agree needed more light but I was using extension tubes so more light is difficult I was using a very strong source as it was maybe more evenly lit is the key?
