Nice, I like the scene behind the wood.

Great! it's cool peeking through with you. Intersting choice of focus.

I like it! It's the clear demarc between the three balanced zones that really make it. Normally we would see this sort of visual presentation in a magazine or brochure or something as pasted bands, a graphic. This is an artistic shot of life imitating art.

A bit disconcerting for a different reason is the perfect jagged end to the distant barrier. It has that pixelated effect we've learned to live with in low resolution computer graphics. To their luck, anyone unfamiliar with computer affects would not notice or be bothered. Here bad computer art degrades a life experience.

Both are very interesting consequences, indeed!

While you're down here in Bristol, please try not to take too many great photographs - you will put me to shame ;) Seriously though, it will be interesting to see Bristol through your lens!

You have nice pics, but it seems to me, that its still the same at last few days..

...your wife is right. It does kinnda get on my nerves to tell you the truth. Oh well, I guess we're all spoiled with something that's awesome every day and it gets old. Just keep it up, hope you're still kickin' the habit.

David, I truly admire your dedication to your website and to the work and effort you put in it. Your website and your photographs have helped me decide to buy my old Powershot G5 and now my 20D. Thanks for being an inspiration for me to pursue my love for photography. :)

Regarding your shot, there's nothing that really stands out about it. I like how the wood frames the shot of the beach and the lighthouse in the distance in sort of a panoramic way.

Did you adjust the colors much in post editing or are the colors mostly straight from the camera? If you did adjust, what was mostly changed?

I like this one the best of your framed series, just looks a bit more interesting than the others.

I like it - maybe I am just lucky, or ignorant, but I don’t get the comment about “pixelated” ends, and I’ve been working with digital images since 1987.

I’d have been interested in a shot from the same position which focused on the distant tower, and let the foreground become indistinct - it seems to me thatmight have rung the changes for those who find the picture boring.

No, it's not boring at all !!!
It's gorgeous.

Thanks everyone.

Sharla: I'm not sure that I can see the 'perfect jagged end'.

owen: the best I'm likely to manage is a few shots at the train station, maybe a couple at the University (UWE) and some in and around my hotel, so I don't imagine too many of them will be great ;-)

Andy: I didn't change this one too much – upped the saturation a little and darkened the sky.

Simon: you may be right regarding the focus. I'll bear it in mind next time I'm tempted to shoot one of these.

Me gusta mucho como has buscado el marco perfecto para ese paisaje.

Mis felicitaciones.

Looking yet afraid of the scenic route that may lead me to the light of my severance.

Dave, I think this shot is only missing some contrast between the background scene and the boards in front. The color of the sand so nearly matches the color of the boards that the effect of seeing through an impromptu "window" is somewhat negated. Of course, this is nothing you had any control over. Sometimes the world just doesn't cooperate with us photographers.

Great Shot.

Hey, it's brill, as I know the beach the jagged edges are the breakers that have slowly decaded over the years.

for those interested, the tower in the background is an working coastguard lookout station.

this picture is one of my favorites...it has a different point of view! LOVE IT! you have a great eye for pictures.
