How bad are last four images.

Now I find it harder to recognise bad images and would love comment on last four images in particular.

I actually like the Bike picture the best, it has a nice contrast between the blue and gray. I also like the last flower picture.

Hi,
I don't like the fact that all the image titles end in .jpg. Especially in a gallery of this size it's annoying.

Gorbals New Park: This image is kind of bland with the centered composition. There is nothing that really draws the eye. Maybe some processing to make it "pop" more.

Plumbago: I like it. You have a nice bokeh and I like the way the spikey things go across the top. Nice clarity and color contrasts.

Gorbals Byke: Nice tight crop and angle. I think if you turn up the contrast and clarity you will get more shine. Too bad about the strip of dirt across the top left hand corner. Don't think you can crop that. I don't shoot bikes much, but with cars I find it best to have as little distracting background as possible, but you already know that.

PLUMBAGO2: This would be my favorite if it weren't for the out of focus blades of grass across the front.

These are just my opinions. Hope it's helpful to you, it's certainly meant well. If you don't like it or disagree, just ignore me.

Best Wishes,

Walter

I think that your gate house picture could at least do with being leveled. For me, the gate is too central and you could do with showing more of the gatehouse - a slightly wider angle perhaps or a bit further back. Even if you had moved so that the fence was tighter to the left hand edge and not included the trees.

I like the Plubago and the bike though - although for the bike, perhaps a lower viewpoint so that the camera was about halfway down the bike.

Just noticed that the gate house was the fifth image back. Hope you still don't mind my opinion though - A quick scan through your gallery shows that most of them have well balanced compositions - this one being an exception.

Just my two pence worth!

The gatehouse was to avoid cloning out a large car parked just out of sight.
