Agreed. The picture looks a little cluttered. I'd try to find a shot where you could compose where there's fewer plant things.

Thanks for the input guys! It's my first ever b&w and aside from the cluttering I think the processing turned out quite nicely. I really like the bokeh textures in the top right.

I'm finding it hard to find stuff to shot since it snowed really early this year. It evaporated the next day but it caused almost everything to die. So i'm stuck with bare branches, but with no snow either. I'm sure there's lots to shoot, i'm just not thinking of it yet.

I'll go out tomorrow and shoot some less cluttered stuff...

shot for a magazine cover.

Nice angle on the second one! What magazine is it for? Are you going to photoshop the photo at all? I'm noticing lines and blotches on the models stomach. (Fine for a natural look, but it might be bad if its one of those magazines that photoshops arms to be 20 feet long :D)

It's for a student magazine. It's just about the campus and things. What lines do you see?

Just right before the skirt in between the belly button and her right hand on the second one (same on the first). I can't really tell what it is at this resolution, but it looks like it might be a stretch mark. Also a few blemishes between the right tie in the shirt and the right hand, also on the far left near the skirt.

It's nothing major, just thought I'd point it out.

I agree, the processing is very nice. I also agree about the bokeh textures. (Y)

@ Moonman

that last shot of the pup makes my cold hard exterior manliness just melt away :cry:

@ Bofido

bare branches, man. they're a staple of my photography from December through to March.

They also make crazy silhouette pics as you can see: 2311407832_2a9c096f52_m.jpg2170638836_d517af365c_m.jpg, give it a go.

From me:

Should be able to get some nice "hobo" like shots of Charlie over the xams period, lol.

Wow, those do look nice! I guess silhouettes do make better bare tree pics. I'll try and find a day with a good sunrise/set, or maybe try something in B&W.

I think b&w is good this time of year, since there's almost 0% colour in my area. Instead of muddy browns and yellows you get crisp textures and striking b&w contrast.

I did a photo of branches during the day (below), but I think it looks too "flat" / somthing else I can't put my finger on. For some reason my friends really like it.

It could be I showed them the print version, which is 13x19, and it has different colours/ way more detail.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
