Thanks for all of the remarks, guys. The vignette certainly is a personal thing but I must add that it does not look so ‘strong’ in the printed format. Thanks for the comments on the ‘warmth’ too.

@reyers, @admin, @tersha

Thanks @shotbybarry!

Those settings are certainly a good platform for starting a people-shoot @federic0alegria!

Well done John @nikon-nut!  You really have made this niche your own and I absolutely love your shots!

Good choice @kent!

No reply on this one? Maybe I should then ask for comment about the tones? I know that my laptop renders colors a touch too warm – what does it look on your side?

Nice shot Misty!

I feel that it’s just a little cramped left & bottom so if you have the space, lift it and move it to the right just a bit – perhaps so the ledge in front of her exits at the bottom left corner. Perhaps that would work better in a 1×1 crop, otherwise she might be cramped at the top again. Other than that I like it.

Thanks Bruce!

@reyers in terms of auto ISO an over exposure: don’t forget that most cameras offer a limit so that you can set the highest figure that auto ISO is allowed to go to. Not sure that is going to solve too many problems though because then you have to look out for under exposure.

Get well soon mate!

Interesting how everyone has a different approach! Well, I guess if it works, use it! 😂

Thanks @patrick, @rambler, @jasenkag!

Yea that’s true Frank, but then it’s not the original shot anymore so in my mind such an image should not qualify for enrollment into a competition.

NIce one, well done Erik! 👌

Oh no, sorry to hear Kent!

Take care – this is one of those diseases where you can really mess yourself up with long term suffering if you don’t look well after yourself!

Lovely! Something mystic about the 2nd shot – in a nice way! 🙂

Lovely spot Steve. I can see myself spending time there.

Ouch! 🙄

I like it – can see it covering a huge wall somewhere in a public place. I’d probably choose Frank’s version if I was forced to choose.

Oh I love this shot. Frank’s version is interesting but somehow one feels that it’s not real. It’s just too ‘smooth’.

Well done Erik!
