Hi Philip

I thought I'd wait and let others post their thoughts before jumping in. But hey-ho... 8)

I really like the toning on these. They have a very nice feel and 'quality' to them.

I'm in two minds about the Dutch Tilt * on the first image. I can appreciate why you've used it.

With the SpiderMan image I'm wondering what all the things are in the background?

Sorry, probably not much help...

Paul, hi, they weren't posted looking for feedback, just up there. Th spiderman is behind the bar in Night and Day Cafe, on top of a fridge, so, the other stuff is just there. The photo of the outside of the building was just because I was stood out there. My OCD doesn't like verticals, so it's always Dutch Tilted, never corrected. If it's off, it's got to be way off.

How many times have I been in the Night & Day and never noticed that spiderman. I must surely walk around with my eyes closed. Some would say that's reflected in my images...lol Will surely look out for it next time. Nice shots Phil.
Regards

Stuart....

Stu, I was just sat at the bar and he was staring at me. I'd never seen him until then either.
