That is a superb photo! Absolutely love it.  Nice smudge too.  I'll definitely be showing my wife that one!

I very much doubt it at this stage, but nice job on the painting.  Less background grain should help as suggested.  And it may help to suggest when you post these that they're best viewed full...

Peano hit on exactly what I was thinking.  When I opened the OP's message my eye was immediately drawn to the upper left corner, where the building seems to lean in.

I'm not yet familiar with Instragram but a quick search shows they're low res images, just 612x612 pixels.  That being the case, you'll probably do just as well doing a Print Screen of your display...

Only in APS-C (so cropped) mode.

Wow, really nice job on that Ray!  But I'd be interested to hear what others think about the idea of turning a shot depicting such frozen action into something like a painting.  I know it's not...

I also have my Whibal card and a lens pen.

It looks similar to some marks on an inner element of a Tokina 100-300 f4 lens I have.  I found out from someone else with the same problem that Tokina said it was due to deterioration of the...

For a software company to fall victim to an attack like this has got to hurt people's confidence in them.

I think the layout looks good but for me the black border around the inset image is distracting and not necessary.  I'd prefer a drop shadow without that border.  I also agree with Ray that the...

Clearly it is a highly subjective thing.  Fashion magazines and advertising companies greatly alter photos to make their subjects appear the way they want to, and Hollywood does the same thing in...

I think the smudge has emphasised the lines between the upper portion of the eyelashes and the eyebrow.  I think removing them would be preferable to increasing emphasis on them.  I'd also consider...

Nice job Ray.  She certainly was the darling of British TV back in the day (which I couldn't help being aware of even though I was in Australia).  She seemed to have a similar presence in UK TV to...

Nope, parfocal, and I'm surprised to hear that the 18-135 isn't.  While the quiet AF makes the lens a good option for video with autofocus, if you're using manual focus in video it means you have...

I agree with Clyde.  Don't expect the 200 plus 2x convertor to match what you'd get with a good 400mm prime, but once stopped down it's a decent combo and very portable, so good for traveling...

I think it look best as originally posted.  The backlighting and sun rays are what gives the image impact and I think any attempts to reduce noise or shadows will detract from it.  And advice on a...

OK, of course. Did you start with this large version? http://static.cinemagia.ro/img/db/movie/00/24/44/the-french-lieutenants-woman-603228l.jpg If you wanted a different photo to work from there...

but who is she?  I have a feeling once you respond I'll think, "Oh, of course!" but can't bring it to mind at the moment.  Nice job too.

Oi yourself!  So your 3rd photo (above) appears to be a reflection, but if so where are you?  Did you have your cloak of invisibility on?

Hi Ray, headed over here in response to your comment on the Halfinger painting.  Great job on the old British Bulldog!  The only thing I'd consider changing though is that the eyes seem a bit...
