Nobody have any views of them then

Does annoy me a little when the forum is a discussion forum. Yes maybe the pictures aren’t the best, but that is why i post them, to get tips from other users on how to improve the overall quality.

Ah well

Rant over

I'd like them just a bit sharper. I'd also like the contrast in the b&w up a bit, but maybe that'd be helped with the sharpness.

The composition is good.

=======================================

I had to take a moment before entering this thread. I saw "Grandparents" and took another look at the forum title hoping I had wandered into the "People" forum. Then I noticed I was in the "Still Life, B&W, and Experimental" forum. Then I looked at the "Grandparents title and thought "Well, ok. Some of us have 'Still Life' grandparents, and this would certainly be "Experimental" photography for them. I can't say I wasn't warned," and I entered the thread.

Gotta say, my expectations were not what I found here. ;)

yeh i was quite a long way away from them, so i had to shot with the 90-300mm and teh 2x tc lol. Partly this was due to the fact that it was teh only lense i had on me at the time.

I'll try doing abit of editing on them

Thanks for the comments

I like the positions of your people better in the color image... seems less peeping-tom-ish. How does it look converted to B/W?

I think the B&W is the better choice for this image (post #5)
