An interesting image of something we all try and avoid. Don't know how many images i havn't liked, or have closed out, powerlines from.........
A shame you didn't have a bright blue sky day here. The overall impression of the image is very grey. You have a good tonal range from balck through to bright in the image, but the grey sky means that much seems to blend into it, instead of the lines and patterns jumping out from the background.

An interesting combination. In many wasy, the photos need to be together to give more context to them, rather than as individual images. Hence, the triptych works really well for this, allowing us to see the overall view, as well as the zooms showing more of the detail.
The reflection of the sky and the escape in the windows really adds to the photo for me, givng the splash of coloour into the grey image, as well as the darker shades that make this work. A really good combination.

Hey Josh, do you have that somewhere in Higher Res. Not sure that the small size for the website really does the image justice...........
A great pano, good composition and colours in this from what I can see. Wish i could head over there now

Ah, Ballarat, where the streets were once awash with Gold, and the Grand Achitecture still remains..........
On my screen, I can see artifacts through the sky from the PP. these don't seem to be evident (or at least as noticeable) in the rest of the image. Might be a result of the process you did with the different sky, but I like the dramitic look of it contrasting against the solid historic building

To infinity and beyond...

I thought England was meant to be cold and grey, at least that is what they tell me here. you keep getting these shots with a brilliant Blue Sky.........

The colours in this are great, and what makes for a really interesting photograph. The composition you have chosen is also very good, which turns this from being a photo of a crane into an interesting shot.

Ferry shots are great, as there is always something different happening on the water, something else going past, and a viewpoint at things that otherwise wouldn't be seen.

I get bored at times of the blue sky, as clouds processed well can be a brilliant backdrop to a lot of things. I had a quick play around with your image in PS. Upping the contrast, adding some overall saturation and a minor tweak ont he Shaddows/Highlights got a lot out of this really quickly. Your image does look a little flat and grey, but with those changes in PP, it really starts to work, and the boat stands out really well, with a more menacing sky.....'Escaping the Storm'
have a play and see if you agree maybe........A nice image that can really work well

(June 4th) Riverview Baptist Church with Goose Butts

A really good capture. I think haviong the geese in the photo helps the overall image. Without them it would have been a picture of a church by the water, but they add that extra little bit to make it stand out from the rest.
Yes, dropping the frame slightly would have given a better composition, but there is usually only one chance to get this, and often the composition comes and what it is. Birds unfortunately do not obey commands to move into the right spot.
Colours are good, maybe a little extra saturation on the red channel to make the church stand out just a little more may help, but a good image made better by the presance of the bords.

A nice shot. great to have some space around you instead of being enclosed by more and more houses. Nice and green.
The out o focus foreground is a little distracting for me. I would have loved it if the Dany Field was in focus all the way to the enge of the photo, as then we could of also seen extra detail in the field in the close up areas.

Scenic Scene

I like the contrast that the image has, everything in sunshine, the blue sky, and then these menacing dark clouds threateneing to come over and end all the fun for everyone. the clouds draw the attention due to the size you have made the sky, and that there is no focal point of the scene. I feel this works as you then look at all of the different elements, rather than your eyes always being drawn to the one item. Great colours and a nice spot.
