nicely done, no. 2 and 4 are my favourites. Nice control of the flare with no abberations. I like the simplicity of no. 2 and the symmetry of 4 with the colours.
:D

Avoid PixSPot like the plague. Only a small handful of people here will be able to see your pixspot images either here or via your links.

Telopea park - I live just near here and have been enjoying the lovely vista for the past few weeks. The images with the popplars are very nice. Gorgeous colours.

Much better Thommo - can see these now.

#4 - great use of perspective and wonderful autumn colours.

#3 - odd shot - it looks REALLY wintery because of the desat treatment - I keep looking for the snow.

#1 doesn't quite work for me because, despite the colours in the top of the image, the foreground is too much in shadow.

Growing up in Canada, I do miss the autumn colours. One of my jobs growing up was to rake those bloody things :evil:

I got to appreciate them more as I grew older and wiser 8)

#4 I really like, nice perspective, sharp, good colours. In the second set, I like the second one. At your mini-meet on Saturday, get your 50mm on and get close to the nice leaves, it would make a nice one with all the different colours.

thanks,

André
