Yeh I agree a longer shutter speed might've helped, need to get myself an ND filter :)

week 6 - present A simple still life, may change by the end of the week but I like the simplicity. C&C welcome

Nice idea I may have to try that. Did you need to tweak the background at all? I guess you lose the texture of the cardigan when its not in focus?

Sawman your speed shot is a little bit too 'busy' for me, with those foreground trees. Perhaps a different angle or bit closer might've worked better? I like your interpretation of the theme though.

Holryn simple but very effective shot. Could you explain the lighting/background set up? I'm trying to get that kind of effect with indoor shots but can't get there :(

Sarah, love that composite image, skilled use of photoshop again! I agree with your comment on shot 2, something just doesn't look quite right with the hand.

nice idea Lynton, I like :)

Week5- Speed slow shutter speed! Yes I know... couldn't come up with anything else, and I was lagging behind! Does anyone have any idea how I can tone down the noise in the sky? No idea why its come out like that :/ Edit: A bit of selective levels adjustment seems to have fixed it. I guess...

Unique is that an inversion of some sorts? I like it :) B&W might bring out the texture in the wall?

Hehe that monkey shot is awesome :D lovely composition and a fun subject

Jean thanks for your kind comments. I'm a bit of a sucker for selective colouring :D My shots so far have suited it really well so why not! I hope I might've converted a few people.

Some others from week 4 that didn't make the cut :) I know some people won't like the selective colouring, I guess it's a marmite thing! C&C welcome, be as harsh as you like it's the only way I'll improve!

Hopeful, click your clone tool, and then use 'alt' to sample an area, then when you click a different area it will replace that with what you've sampled. As you move aorund it will sample relative to where you originally set the point, hope that helps!

ah ok :) Well good to see you persisted after originally getting knocked back!

L'Cham, indulge me with a mono conversion of this guy? I think it would help :)
