I like the shots! but you've edited them? and to me its seems clear you have. they dont seem to crisp. and they all seem under exposed.

I dont do much photoging, but my mate who i spend alot of time with does an unhealthy amount, infact if any of you got retro cars this month his shots are in it (the mgb and the tunnel), so i learn alot from what he think of photos, i sometimes tell him his photos are shit :P

I have a mate who's a surgeon and often talks about his work but that doesn't mean I'm qualified to comment on the best way to perform a tonsilectomy.... :wink:

I think the pictures are pretty good actually.

cheers for all the comments!!

Yeah i know what you mean with the huge amount of post processing on photoshop. Loads of folk say its too much and i see their point, its much better to have taken a photo that doesnt need any photoshop. But at the end of the day the people i do the photos for love them and thats what matters to me. I'm not all that good at geting perfect photos but aslong as when they come out the computer, people say WOW i'm happy :D
