Number 1 takes it on this challenge for me. Number 1: It's clear, symmetrical and simple. Earphones are sharp, screen is in crisp focus. Only small point for suggestion in post processing would be to perhaps fade the reflection of the mp3 player slightly, perhaps by adding a little vignetting...

Here's a question: would buying a FF camera mean you go out and shoot more with the new toy, improving your pictures because you're actually shooting more? Forcing you to go out and shoot because you want to justify the cash outlay? Are there advantages to a FF camera? Sure. Better high ISO...

Hmmm. Tough call. Three-category answer: Technical Capture, Composition, and Communication. Technical Capture: Image 2 wins Image 2 is clearly a better capture. The image is sharp, the colour is rich, yet not overpowering. There are no extraneous elements in the image. Its subject is...

Now this is an interesting one. For photographic sharpness - I prefer the second image. It's better processed and the sharpening makes the subject pop out nicely. However, the first image speaks the theme 'Listening' better than the second. In the first one, the subject is actively...

Number 1 wins it for me. The gothic, moody look works, but the blur around the edges is a little too strong for my taste. The second one is nicely moody, but the sharpening of the word 'Angels' is perhaps too pronounced. Makes it jump off the page, but the silhouette of the angel is a too...

I am really loving this series of shots, from initially thinking it was a cute teddy, to noticing the blood on its claws. There's such a sense of fun from these pictures, kind of like 'Ren and Stimpy' or 'Itchy and Scratchy'. Good stuff!

For me, number two has it Number one: It's a little underexposed and could do with a shallower depth of field, perhaps on the foreground, with the back blurring a little more. The reflection of the keys seems to be a little cut off, leaving me unsure whether they're just there because of the...

Definitely Number 2 Number one doesn't work for me because: 1. The first image is low key but the detail in the hat and the table disappear 2. The background is slightly distracting 3. The presence of the card in the hat: It is a jack, but its presence doesn't add much to the picture and...

Hi all, I can only speak from my personal experience, but I used to take quite a few pictures with a P&S and thought it worked fine until, just before a stint of long-term travel, I dropped it while running, kicked it across the road and totally smashed it to pieces. I did some hurried...

Hello everyone, a newbie from London here saying hi and thanks. On Monday this week, I was attempting to take night-time snaps in Trafalgar Square. Some people were out on a photoshoot and I got talking to one gentleman with a nikon D3, 24-70 f/2.8 and a tripod who kindly pointed out how much...
