Ok guys,

A complete mishmash here. There isn't really a theme, but I would appreciate your comments as to which work and which don't.







Cheers

They all work for me especially the last two. Great shots.

Bob.

Matt,
The horse is way too garish, but I do like the others, ESPECIALLY the 2nd last one (reflection) - there's a classic feel to that one, but i don't really know why

Nice images Matt. I especially like the 4th one - very well spotted. I wonder what impact it would have if you reversed (mirrored) the image?

2 definately doesn't work.
1&2 probably would of been better in the colors thread. The shot of that gravity ride would of probably looked better if it exhibited signs of speed, a bit of motion blur via a slow shutter. You might be able to recreate this in PP, might require a bit of work as you want only the trailing edge to be blurred.

I'm going to be boring, #4 is my pick out of the bunch

Good ones Matt,

I really like #4, well caught and the b&w really works

Cheers,

Radar

The last two are just brilliant, Matt. Nothing beats B&W images! Love 'em! Simple, uncluttered, and with emotion.....great stuff!

4th one for me too. Very nice.

Matt

#4 by a mile - awesome creative eye - I'd have walked straight past this Dare I say "sublime"

Then #5 and #2. The horse doesn't work and I think it would be hard to get it to do so because the background is so busy (I should know since I took about ten shots of this that were all stinkers during the AW weekend)

Without a doubt, #4 is the best of the lot (IMO). Great composition. Well done ... keep it up.

Nice mishmash Matt!

Last two definitely. If they were mine, they'd be up on my wall.

Thank you for the great feedback guys and gals.
So #4 is ok - I think it could perhaps do with a little bit of a contrast boost.

The horse pic I was dubious about, liked the colour, but agree about the overly busy background.
I took a couple of shots of grafitti around surry hills, purley for the magnificent colours. I like #2 but perhaps the composition could be stronger.

Nice idea about the blur on the ride kipper. I might just go back and reshoot it like that because I don't think I could recreate the effect convincingly in PS.

Many thanks again people.

Nice thought behind the last two
I'm a sucker for reflections and spatial dimension.
Keep the designers eye.

Matt,
You shouldn't post colour and B&W together I like first one but B&Ws are distracting an eye from the colour photos.

Both B&W are superb
