They look good!

But the subjects are a bit uninteresting to me.. I'm not really intriqued
the points of view are a bit too obvious.

colours are good, but the contrast could have bin a tad darker.

I like the last one, it has a real old urban feel to it!

You did a good job at mimicking old style photographs but try and shoot some more interesting subjects!

I'm sorry if I come over a bit highstrong but I don't mean it that way, keep shooting please :3

cool rat

[purplerose]

I really like the 2 cemetery photos, the subjects interest me and they have good points of views (coming from someone who shoots in a cemetery regularly). My only crit for them is that your highlights feel a bit too flat.

[Ment]

I like the ones taken in Liverpool, although they are a bit too grainy in the sky.

[BlackSimon]

Ty for comments and cits :)

Purplerose, what exactly you mean about the highlights are abit flat? not bright enough or dont vary enough? (I dont know much about highligts/shadows, i just play around abit to see which looks best)

Some more photos, ok sunrise isnt black/white but its near sepia :P

For me, the subjects are interesting, too.

I like that rat and the first one from your recent update best. I some of the Liverpool shots, I think there's a tad too much noise (I like noise, though, when it's a bit more decent).

I like the clouds, too - did you use a pol-filter for these?

[BlackSimon]

No filters or special lenses used on any of my photos, just used my Panasonic TZ3 camera, and the "Time line effects" thing in photoshop after changing highlights, brightness etc.

My favorites are the graveyard shots. Nice work! Keep 'em coming!

Basically not white enough. They seem to look more grey than white.

I like the first one, the liver buildings. Has a real creepy feel to it, which is a good thing ;)
