[amarko5]

[Peter Henry]

No they are all crap. Plus all spoiled by a large black splodge in the foreground. Was the lense dirty by any chance? :?

[Jelster]

Something a bit fishy about that last one....













OK, I'll get me coat......

[Law]

Ok, made some changes

pic 1 - diff photo, this one is closer and I removed the sign from behind the seat
pic 2 - diff photo, shot from another angle and cropped to remove sign.
pic 3 - cropped slightly
pic 4 - ditto
pic 5 - ditto, shame I left my gloves on the bike.

I probably won't be e-mailing these for the front page as this month's blue SV against a green background puts mine to shame. :( :oops: :P Plus there will be loads from the AR06 by others entered prob.

[Peter Henry]

And I still say they are crap. :twisted:

[Law]

And I still say they are crap. :twisted:

Yeah I know, but then I'm not a professional photographer and I don't own a camera. :P

[Ed]

I think they're pretty good, me. I like the black menace.

[Biker Biggles]

I showed them to the old trout and she was not amused. :oops:

[Law]

Quiff, I can do a better spot the difference than you!

AND

Yep you're correct, in the end I decided not to submit them for the front page.

Quiff the three bikes one is good*, looks like a blue SV display team!




*shame the fatso at the back is ruining the shot.** :p




**Only joking.

[Quiff Wichard]

hee hee

dunno who took it.
blue pete mefinks

[TC3]

these are some really good pictures

You must have done some searching to dig these up

[Alpinestarhero]

I want a black pointy :(

I want a black pointy :(

Matt

Law's black pointy looks even better now it's even blacker :cool:

I like the second one better. The green grass in the negative space around the bike frames it nicely and reduces distractions from the bike. The only slight flaw is the unwanted tree shadow in front and reduced light on fairing. Can't move the tree though can you :) Really nice picture all the same.

1st picture would have been nicer if there was less depth of field. The wooden fence does seem to clutter the image somewhat. Better if it was a bit out of focus.

3rd picture, bike is facing the wrong side. Should be facing out.

4th picture, bike and boats fight for who is the subject. Makes for a boring composition.

5th, Nice fish.

Sorry for being hard on you Law, but only being a constructive critic, I still like the lot. Lovely weather by the way.

Really like the 3 bike picture Quiff, (not 'cause you're in it LOL)

Thanks for the comments, I just took random photos in different places, didn't actually give much thought. The comment on the 5th pic made me chuckle. :)
