I like to add that I rather like the effects and moods of this picture. It had been underexposed drastically to achieve this. Walter, I would still like to have your expert comment.
BTW. This picture had been submitted, not dumped.

Walter. I admire your pixel-perfect pictures as usual. I am sure you have taken years to perfect it. I also have been taking pictures since the early 80s. So the mediocre pictures of mine are my expressions, though they might not be as good as yours. I have also been a member of Leicaimages for over 3 years, having dumped over 1500 pictures over that period.
Please stay and continue you good work. I have dumped my last picture onto the Nickon site. Good bye.

I have waited for a few days for your helpful comment. Here is my "take".

As I was buffeted by the wind and rain on that morning, I saw the dark clouds, and this shaggy tree, with its unkempt branches, jutting into the sky in defiance. I snapped the shot, deliberately under-exposed to emphasise the stark nature of the contest. No. It was not pixel-perfect, sharp, nor pretty, and not meant to be.

The title is “approaching storm”. This is what I REALLY want to show. I welcome your comments on whether it is effective or on how it could be improved.

I saw this rugged path to the playground. Not sure which is the focus? But each one is important. Good or not, it is interesting.

Thank you. I wondered myself. There is a half-hidden figure behind her too. But, generally I shoot for the picture content, and won't scratch my head for too long. Just a bit.

Than you. I like black and white images, particularly those from the masters, who emphasise on contents.

Thank you. I don't know whether the owner had aspiration that his grill-bar could become a hot-spot for the middle-aged in-crowd, but now it is frequented by students and families. The other day, a student-waiter serving me, suddenly sat down at the piano, and played several classical pieces. He is about 17.

Thank you. The moment I stepped into the shadow, I felt the grip of the tree's silhouette on me. The rest was deciding how best to capture that gripping feeling.

Thank you. I had noticed the rather interesting shadows, had set up the camera, in readiness. But getting the man to step into the gap was a bit of luck.

Than you. Shot at ISO3200, I was trying to keep shadow details; highlight blown-out a bit. But it seems OK, at least in this pic.

Thank you. Came out well with HP5 N+2.

Thank you. The warm glow can enhance an otherwise ordinary scene, quite a bit.

Nicely captured. Dynamic.

Thank you. Caught the morning light from the high sun-roof, and of course, the girl.

Thank you. A brave woman - in the company of those 2.

Thank you. I was on a park bench, lying on my back, when a black bird landed on the tree. This changed the whole scene in front of me. The bird didn't stay long. I grabbed my camera and shot quickly. The somewhat lack of focus, seems to have added some mystique - I think.

Nice tonal range.

Thank you. Yes, the golden sunset was beautiful, even over a refinery. Given the lighting, my job was relatively easy.

Thank you. The chairs had a good night's rest, with legs up.
