Well done, Peter. I like your waterfall - you've managed to get a real sense of movement into the water, which isn't easy. The balance of lights and darks is good and gives a real feeling of atmosphere and mystery. I'll echo Sylvia's advice & say do post work on the gallery. I'd suggest that, if you'd welcome more detailed comments than a bland "I like it", then make sure the title of your post makes it clear. I've had very useful advice and suggestions by including "thoughts and advice welcome" or somesuch in the title. Of course, you might not want to invite critical comments! But if you do, rest assured that they will be made in a positive, constructive way. You might get something like "I think the foreground is a bit too detailed and distracts from the main subject". You will need to ask for it, though, as people are naturally reluctant to say anything that might be taken the wrong way & damage confidence.

Well, Peter, we have at last established who you are, and I also take this opportunity to welcome you to the site.
That is very constructive advice from both Sylvia and Bill and there isn't a lot more that I can add to it, apart from saying that all comments and criticism will be given honestly by myself, as I am sure this will be the case of other members. Perhaps if you start your gallery off by posting these two again, and they MUST be the right way up, or people will probably not bother commenting, I know that I won't, so get that small gremlin sorted.
Once again Welcome, and I hope that you will enjoy the benefits of being part of this superb online website.
