Yes its very hard to know how to pitch your comments The one thing you dont have with the written word is expression, I some times make comments and I am sure the word have come out all wrong, if you know what I mean? I am a great one for saying what you feel and if a picture grabs me I like to rave on, but I find myself somewhat restrained if I dont like a picture, I guess in the real world face to face with someone I would do the same. So I kind of apply real world rules when commenting. When posting my own work I now ask for feedback and ask direct questions on things that I would like feedback on This work well I think people are keen to respond when invited. I did at one point ask if we could have a feedback icon to post but I think now the direct questions work better. Please continue to comment on peoples work its one of the reasons I post here. :O)

Nice picture Jack, like the side lighting lifts the texture and shape of the statue. I might have just taken one step back and nor cropped the legs. :O)

Some nice pictures here, what a fantastic subject there must be hundreds of pictures here. I agree with Alpha #2 is the strongest followed by #5 I just love old doors. :O)

Yo! Mike. Nice to see you dropped in and it sounds like you might get back really soon only 8 weeks to Xmas hope you have done all your shopping. I bet you what a few bike bits from Santa this year. LOL Looks like a great project you got going on there. Are you going for a restore job or a custom job? You know nice paint and chrome bits? Well dont stay away too long it getting just that wee bit cold to be out back when you could be tucked up with your PC and us. :O)

LOL Slynk I was under the car fixing the brakes on Monday thought I might take some shots well you never know. But what was funny, was the look on next doors face when I emerged camera in hand. I think he thought I was doing a spot of welding. :O)

Thanks will go take a look at the site. :O)

Full marks to Zhounder and LrdSatyr8 and all who entered, some great images. :O)

Jeff finds a rat straps a camera to its back and hes off, now just how do I get my camera back? (Scratching head)LOL

Nice idea Randy Like the focus this treatment gives the subject. I think like Bill says you need to work another technique for achieving this, two layers would work well, so you dont get the effect the subject has been painted round. I would also think about the white areas, The lightest part of any picture draws the eye and having them in the background draws the eye away from the subject. Hope this helps. :O)

Wow! 25 images. Now thats impressive always wanted to have a go at this panoramic stuff nearly got some software once. Must go check out panorama factory and photostitch do you have some website address for them? Like the image, nice colours is that how it was, all blue? :O)

Waiting for the load mate the top of the picture has some nice colours. Here they are fantastic! They look like they are red hot straight out of a furnace. I think the second one is stronger but only because there is less of the really bright background in it. I think you should play with toning that down. You could use the other picture, make it soft and just fill the white areas. Only a suggestion. :O)

Just spent a pleasant hour going through the entries. There is some great work there well done to all that entered, I would liked to have had a first second and third vote to cast. :O)
