Grr!!! I didn't have time to go biking today and just managed a quick bit of fresh air as the light was finishing. I think that I got a couple of decent shots but I'd value your opinions as always:

Trippy Illusion


Gone Fishing

It's making my head hurt trying to think about where you shot that first one from! Haha

Second one's cool - light looks nice, but he kinda gets a bit lost in the dark

I like the fisherman shot, but as dooley said, the fisherman is a bit lost. Great timing though, to get the line in the frame. It has a nice peaceful sense about it too.

I like the first one aswell. Has it been rotated? Can't think how it would look like that otherwise!

I actually intended most of the fisherman to merge into the blackness. I wanted miminal lighting so that only part of the fisherman and the line was really light. I think that the sky is a wee bit bright & distracting and distracts or it might be easier to pick out the fisherman. I might try and darken it a little and see if that makes it better.

Oh... and the first was flipped vertically rather than rotated, which gives the slightly strange perspective.

I took a landscape orientation picture of the reflection of the walkway at a reservoir and then flipped it around (like, say holding a playing card horizontally and flipping it around so that the back is facing you, rather than rotating it. I'd been planning to do that before I shot it.

For any antiPP people -  it's not a form of cheating as you could have done that with a slide.

I don't think it's cheating as long as you're not claiming or inferring it's something that it's not.

Nice job on catching the reflections Smile
