The problem with the pitcher picture (ooh), I think, is that the lines of the dome draw the eye straight out of the frame before you really get a chance to take in the image. Compositionally it's a bit of a mess, much as I love the colours. Quote:

| The stonework looks amazing, but it'd be far better suited to a cloudier sky, I reckon. Not overcast, or anything, just something with a bit more variety to it.
"Arrange to have generated some more clouds" isn't terribly helpful advice, though.

And it is fien advice for photos taken five minutes away from home. I always mean to start a database/calendar/spreadsheet (bit of scrap paper) with photos to "go back & take better" matched with the weather & time of day needed to do so. | |

I'll attach the blurb i wrote and was planning to post on ebay. | Gimme a couple of days to consider finances and I'll get back to you  | |

aww crackin' pictures Pete, I like the one of the robin with food in its mouth. 
and buy the looks of it, there might be an old wasp hive in there too, there's loads of marks on your shed from where wasps have been munching on it

Or so I would imagine, having never been organised enough to do this. Quote:
