Candle Light

3rd

This is an interesting and different image. I like the arrangement of the candles and the general composition. I image the exposure level was quite low and not easy to establish but the candles certainly look good. I think I would like to have seen more light on the metal figurines. I don't know if they could be enhanced in post processing? The colour balance looks spot- on to me though which is very good.

Butterfly

2nd

This is a quality piece of work. Deph of field at these magnifications can be very slim but the photographer has realised that and focussed accordingly on the all important butterfly. My only minor point is the bright area on the right in the background which could have been cropped out. This would also have shifted the butterfly from the centre which I think would balance the image more. Even so, I like this very much.

Robin

1st

Wow, is really all I can say about this. The positioning, the sharpness and the natural background are all great. Again, a very minor point maybe, is to tone down the highlights in the background a tad. Excellent.

Bridge over the Danube

Well done to the photographer for searching out this great viewpoint.The bridge is shown in its entirety and I do like the diagonal it creates across the picture space. Sharpness and detail are excellent too. It is a shame about the foreground foliage which is creeping in at the base but I imagine it was not easy to avoid that. Very nice.

Parliament, Budapest

This is another fine shot of a landmark in Budapest. There is excellent detail and sharpness and the lighting has worked well to enhance the form of the building. I think I would have cropped off the very light part on the right and waited a few more seconds for the boat to come in more but otherwise this is a fine tourist image.

Sound Tunnel, Bakers Gap, Folkestone

I live local to this and know this location well, I also know how dangerously slippy those steps are too! The arch obviously works well as a frame and the steps and handrail help as leading lines. The view out to sea though is a big empty space and I think this image needs something else in there like a boat or a surfer. Something that the speakers could point towards. I cannot fault the exposure and depth of field which is all nicely controlled.

All Action

The timing here is great as amongst all the action we can still see the ball. Technically, this is very good with great sharpness and exposure. For me the area where the central four figures are is where the action is so I would be inclined to crop in. I realise this will not be easy with the player in red in place. This is a fine sporting image.
