Oooh neat looking smoke cloud! Really nice tones & definition in the clouds, & I like the horizontal pipe going thru it, gives it some depth.

Day 5 - Splash

Nice action shot! I agree the contrast & sharpness could be boosted just a little, but this is a very neat shot.

Day 4 - Country Road

Comment by bs-photos:
Neat landscape! The shadow across the road makes me wonder what made it. That mountain looks so out of place all alone, very nice b&w.

Day 10 - Candle

Comment by glad2badad:
Interesting lines, and I'm seeing some blocks of dark tone in the background (my work monitor isn't the best). I kind of feel like I want something to be a little sharper...it's a very soft image, but in some places that's effective. Perhaps this is one of those times? :)

Follow-up: Yep, the work monitor is lousy. The blacks look fine here now. :D

Lov ethe tones -- this is one great industrial photo. I would have liked to see a bit more contrast. The detail in the smoke is great. Very nice!

I really like the diagonal composition of this one. I like how it directs my eyes. Great tones.

The problem with shooting fish in fish tanks is that almost always you're talking low light - very low light. Slow shutter speed. Tripod, timer or remote release. In addition, you're shooting through plastic or glass, not to mention water, all of which can distort an image or blur it. Now, add an active fish (remember the slow shutter speed because of low light?) What you've got is blur. Sounds like a good subject for a tutorial. Your best chance is what you got in this shot - a relative docile fish and lots of luck.

I like the color version a lot better - I had trouble figuring out the fish in the B&W. I think it is great that you're pushing the envelope and trying something new & different. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got in photography - don't hesitate to shoot - even in situations where the picture isn't supposed to come out - sometimes it works anyhow. Some of my favorite shots are hand held at very slow shutter. (Of course, the delete button gets a fair workout from these attempts, too.)
