My Therapy girl. I love this photo. Took it in a little town between CO and KS. Can't remember the name. Anyways. Here she is. Ms. Foxy Cleopatra!
Re-tweaked in Photoshop for more definition and a better use of tones, avoiding any clipping at either end of the spectrum. This was the second image I sold from my first exhibition in September of last year. It was bought by my council to become a part of their art archive.
To say you've captured and combined an amazing array of textures with this image is an understatement.
Well done Alex.

This photo was taken in the Kenai Fjords of Alaska. Obviously midday is not the best time for such a photo, but that was my only opportunity.

She's a cutey! But then again, I have a thing for slobbering dogs. A mastiff would be my ideal canine, instead of the two tiny terrors we have here.
Thanks, Peter. I'm slowly getting there with taking an holistic approach to photography, where I have thought and planned the image, from capture right on through to digital darkroom editing, finishing and printing. It's the creation of prints that really got me to think seriously about my image making. Printing at A3+ size on expensive paper will get you to slow down and think seriously about what you want to stick on that paper.
Lovely capture and massive congrats to your friend.My best friend had his first baby born today at 2am so I instantly thrust a camera in his little face.
My two little monkeys are doing my head in. We are on holiday right now and they have taken the last straw... last night at dinner, they were chasing the hotel event photographer around to get their picture taken. Turns out the little minxes spent 40 minutes letting her take their pictures at the kids club yesterday! I saw the pictures and they were posing and dancing and playing up for HER camera... meanwhile, when I want just one without them pulling a face like they are sucking a lemon, they run for bloody cover!!!! Aaargh!!!
I absolutely adore this picture. Actually been using it as a aid'd memoire while here on holiday to try and get a shot of the cliffs here. They are a gorgeous red colour but I cant get the colours.Re-tweaked in Photoshop for more definition and a better use of tones, avoiding any clipping at either end of the spectrum.

One of my favorite Camping Places in Gold Camp Road, CO. Love it! 
It's so calming there.
Ugh! So many pictures of like to share.
I had chemo yesterday and it left a mark in my face. Wanted to show the difference in black and white opposed to the variable with color. Here's this one though.
I hope you all like it.

Wildflower meadows in Wensleydale...
Thanks, kenoh. All I can suggest for you to get true colours is to use a colorchecker chart. I wholeheartedly recommend using one under each different light condition you encounter. Well, that and to also calibrate your screens, shoot in RAW and to look at your images with a phone, iPad, etc.. once you have them up on your image hosting site. This allows you to catch them before others see them with oversaturated colours or that fried look that HDR tends to do... Not that I'm saying you are guilty of that sort of behaviour!
Another image that's had the Photoshop treatment and I have a feeling it may still undergo a tad more...
My intention is for this to become the first image I offer unframed for sale, so it can be shipped worldwide. I have an amazing print facility in my city where everything is at or above gallery & museum archiving quality standards.
On another note, am I the only one that can't post large images here any more? This is 1280px wide and I can't get it to appear at 1600px wide, not even for love or money!

Lol... I am sure i am guilty. I do most of my editing on my Macbook pro but I am still very much club fisted and a bit heavy with my post process.
I have noticed android mobile devices in general suck the big one when it comes to colour calibration.
When mobile I am using a Surface Pro 3 but again colour is off. Guess I have to admit defeat and go back to apple mobile devices. The cliffs here are made up of gorgeous red sand and I am trying desperately to get it so it isnt washed out. They really are a sight to behold, not seen sand this red outside certain areas in California. Thing is, despite being up at 5am to get the first signs of day break, the sky and light in general is washed out. I will get a picture I like...
I wouldn't go to all Apple gear, mine are out and require recalibration pretty regularly and even then they are not bang on the money, just close enough that I can see if some colours are going to present as over-baked when viewed online.
Don't be scared to take bracketed frames, maybe 2 stops apart, when the dynamic range is too large for a single frame to contain all that intensity of light and shadow detail.
Regardless, enjoy the time away with the family!
That's a lovely shot. PP is bang on the money IMO.Another image that's had the Photoshop treatment and I have a feeling it may still undergo a tad more...

Interesting couple of statues at Chirk Castle. The one on the left is tied up, and the one on the right is blindfolded.
I can just imagine the conversation now. 'Hay Mrs AFB, I went to the garden centre and picked up a couple of naked lady statues for the garden. Ones tied up and the others blindfolded. You know how we like our S & M!'

Anyway, I just thought they framed the entrance nicely. Your comments are always welcome.

I think we're still at 800px wide display size but have the option to click on the shot to see it at the posted max size that you allow from your host.
