Hard life you lead there mate...
All beautiful images. Every one, but I think I like the second best of all.

I'd like to see them with a bit more contrast. As they are, they're just a bit too soft for me.

The last image is stunning and is a classic 'fine art image'. One of the finest images I have seen for a long while and very creative. It could have been taken by any of the worlds master photographers and would not be out of place in any of their portfolios.
Bloody well done!

I have to echo what has been said above. I like all of them, but they need a bit more contrast.

I disagree with some who think the images need more contrast. I think they have been deliberately kept slightly bereft of contrast to give them that old vintage magazine look. Of course, that's just my personal opinion....but I like them the way they are.

Thanks all for the feedback. Matt is correct in his assumption to the vintage look, that is exactly what I had intended, desaturated colour and an overall soft feel.

I like an image with punch and contrast but it's not always the way to go. I do have other processed versions of these images which are sharp, punchy and with increased contrast and saturation, I just chose to post these interpretations.

Thanks for your comments.

Great shots Geoff, irrespective of what processing choice you made, they have no problem standing out. damn, I wish i could be as flexible as anyone of those :)
