Im struggling to get a focal point, It does make you look all over the image, but nothing then grabs me, not sure its working for me 

Love them all, No 1 defo looks like a sketch, where for me ( as in B&W Mode ) just like the contrast

We are going back there next year, for a week as our Cousin invited us to stay, so will definitely be having another visit, hope the Sky stays interesting for us

Love the Image, Has he spotted your Nuts or something lol

Looking good STEVE ...that gradation  on the  sky  makes a big difference  on the larger of the two..

Thanks mate, was taken in November in Scotland, me in a Onezy freezing me bits off whilst holding the Tripod into the coast to stop movement in the Timed exposure, what we do as Photography Enthusiasts ( Nutters lol )

Thank you, Steve. Yeah I trailed off into darkness on the right where the buildings aren't as interesting.

To who ?? As a lover of B&W, the main image catches the eye really well, then the Underexposed for me takes that journey across the image away..

Love the theatre it gives, just a little under exposed on the Right as hard to see detail ( am on an IPad so may be OK on full screen )

Have a few others scattered about, the main one was Morroch Bay in Scotland, took it in 2017, just finally got it Printed out, the other is my Wife in Miami last month lol 

Yes thats much better

Have to have a go in Photoshop

I like No 2, the depth in the contrast catches my eye, shame that the Crossing Lights are Modern, as otherwise its dating really well

Like the mood in this image, but agree that a crop on the right just to lose the angled bricks

Thanks

Finally had a couple of Canvases made with my images, and they were delivered today, really pleased with them

Quite an Abstract set, not sure about your composition, some images do, but some don't.. not sure where you want us to be as the viewer.. 

The image I like the best is No 7, as it has great detail and you keep looking, as probably wondering whet. where etc etc

Yes Image No 2, valves blowing, caught in great detail, Nice Shot

The first image is amazing, reads well, grabs the eye, and keeps you looking, Nice

Image 1 walks you in, I feel the best of the set 

Maybe its just me, but images lack a punch, I love B&W and always have that head on, I feel they need a boost in Contrast, I think B&W is harder to capture than colour, but need to have that in mind behind the camera

As with the Mono Image, had to spend as long as I could here, nearly missed the ship too lol

The Sky was really inviting

Recent Cruise, Stopped in St Croix where Wife has Family, So they took us to the most Easterly point, and the weather and sky was on my side

Had to lay on my back lol, with some really funny looks 

Deserved winner, really good image(s), was just glad again to actually be in with a chance, Will keep plugging away

Needs a little more punch for me, I really enjoy B&W and do still use film and really push it, the birds in the image read really well, take your eye into the image, would definitely have a re-work with this, as getting the image to deepen in contrast would make it pop out, 

Had a quick go, hope you don't mind

DOF is awesome, and the water droplets really set the image, very nice !!

I think the colour one is best, as the reflections are telling a better story, someone has a good elbow with the polish lol
