Great shots Roy, but I think No 1 does it for me.
Everything in shot well exposed whereas the other two have over lit elements; your jacket and some of the walls.
The first has good shadow detail, a good balanced contrast and does give the impression that it was taken in a dark space. 1&2 are too flat with not a great deal of perspective. Its a well established fact that forward lighting alone flattens perspective, similar to the compression effect you get from telephoto shots.
5 stars for the shot mate.! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I dont like photos of people facing the camera, I prefer this type which Roy did, looks more natural.

Having giving the matter some thought [dangerous, I know] I think I would rather see Roy's skull than his ugly mug. A better idea would be for Roy's girlfriend [the one I saw him with 2 months ago in Cornwall] to act as a model. To get all our attention, she should be in the buff.

I see Tony is being controversial as ever and proving he really is a dirty old man :ban:

We are all now curious about this new woman though :wub:

Is this one of Roy's earlier attempts with multi-light backlighting?

So let's take this really off topic. I have assumed this is daylight flooding in from nearby entrances. I hadn't really thought about it, but I suppose it is just possible that is artificial light - flash-powder or whatever? Given the nature of the site (see the other photos of the same place) I think this is almost certainly daylight.

Roys here:

Poke fun at my avatar all you want but I can still pull them, ref Tony's posting.

Mike Moore, it was just someone I met at a takeaway and we sort of just, well, saw each other for a few days. Very pretty, but a bit young for me.

Anyway, I do not recognise the picture but I would bet money that it is daylight. Just look at the other pictures, it has to be.
