I'm liking link although I'd like to see a bit more of the knot on the right.
Good focus, lighting and composition![]()
Good clear image Craig, looks well lit, like the bg colournot a lover of the shadow though

nice idea, maybe a more diagonal composition would help a little, looks like the shadow police have been visiting you too
Nice a sharp and good colours on the shackle and rope, not though keen on the BG, also I'd maybe like it more on the diagonal.
Hi there .... a good original choice for the theme, and I like the use of use of the two different knots. The rope and the metal link are lovely and crisp and clear. I like shadows ! but would prefer to see the whole shadow and for it to be a part of the picture, not for it to be cropped
Nice colours and patterns on the rope. I'm another one who quite likes shadows - I think they give a more 3D effect to an image - and I wouldn't have minded it being even more defined!
Hi again Craig
Linked - A cracking image, very well lit, lovely and sharp even viewed large, Crit - only minor, I wasn't liking the shadow at first, but it has grown on me, would be nicer and work even better for me if it were un-clipped, all in all the bright colours of the rope and the red on the clip, well separated from the background help make a very good pic![]()
Now that has real potential. Loads of steps.
The top right bar I find distracting but RH genes plenty of details and decent angle.
Now, not that I'd have done it, but lower perspective would work in this. Photographing up the near cable thingy.
Obviously form a boat...is it yours
Cheers.
Heron at Upton by Craigw1978, on FlickrReally nice shot of a lovely bird there - I also like the nautical setting for it, just enough information there to set the scene, but not so much it detracts frm the bird. Nice one.![]()


Hi, Craig hope you're on the mend.
Good detail and almost looks like s/he is looking at me. Looks a little flat, IYSWIM, at least on my iPad.
Cheers.
Good detailed shot CraigDoing a lot of angling, I see a loads of herons. At first I did think the bg was a little distracting, but after thinking about it, to see one perched on a boat and not hidden in reeds is certainly more interesting and unusual for me

Hi. nice pic of the heron, I do feel it lacks a little light but thats a minor quibble
I really like this.
After seeing Allan's comment above ... "lacks a little light" ... hmmm he may have a point.
