So glad you are doing the ups and downs. I think it works really well and help us learn.I also like hearing other peoples take on your photo.

great idea DigiDiva,my problem is I have trouble with the technical stuff,I know what I like but can't always be helpful with how to make a shot better....it certainly has helped to get people talking a little more, and I also enjoy reading other peoples ideas on a certain image .....we have never had a lot of people join in with the challenge,but I think it helps to get you thinking of something different to do each fortnight,I have always enjoyed the challenges & love trying new things.

My up Trena A nice photo but more about the child than the sky.
My down Peter nice dramatic sky but like mine did not stand out.

Yu dont need to be techno to comment what ypou like about a photo. Whats grabbed you, what drew you in etc

My One Up/One Down...

Peter:- Great sky - very dramatic. For me I'd have like to see a bit more detail in the foreground - see attached quick rework

Digi:- Love beach hut shots & a nice shy in the background. For me these shots work best when the end of the row of huts is in the shot... & ideally something, a person, dog, small child, in the space to stop the eye running out of the picture. Interesting to see you've used left to right leads lines in this one :)

Thanks Gidders. Comments are always taken on board and I appreciate what people say about my images. This was a chance stumble upon the huts, however I will visit again with props, maybe one sunny autumn day. I didn't even know they were there. I was excited when I saw them.

Thank you Clive, I appreciate you spending the time, and like the advice you gave,
