William Dyer - Guess who ?

Stuart McColl - photo of William. Cropped and edited on phone . Messed around with and to use technical parlance using filters and colour saturation.

Derek Hamilton - a happy Glaswegian Thistle

Jo Capek - Watch the Birdie

Jo Capek - The Birdie

Jo Capek- A traditional portrait .

Janice MacKenzie- taken on my IPhone on Portrait mode. I took a series of photos of my friend to get her to relax

Janice Mackenzie -Taken on my IPhone 15 Pro Max and cropped. I just love the look of sheer happiness as she’s splashing in water, absolutely no posing for this one!

Janice MacKenzie- Taken on my IPhone. Just used a bit of clean up to remove some of the background distractions and originally had taken in Portrait mode but that blurred the sculpture and though it was better unblurred so removed that setting. 

David Cooper - cropped and enhanced .

David Cooper - A black and white filter added.

David Cooper - watch the birdie!

Vivienne Christison - a willing participant (who could have ran away if she wanted!). Taken on Samsung S23 - only cropped.

Vivienne Christison- A portrait of a dog (from a pile of boots) at the Art Galleries. Practiced grabbing the focus of the photo and clearing out all the other junk in the background. Taken, and then photo manipulated, on Samsung S23.

Stuart McColl- it's about the composition.

Stuart McColl- another one where composition is important . It has a vintage look as well .

William Dyer - Composition and background make this . Blurring the background shows the setting but does not distract from the portrait.

William Dyer - in this one the setting has predominance but the subject is still a central focus.

Vicky Blainey- Black and white works well for portraits.

Vicky Blainey- another black and white image.

Derek Hamilton - this appealed to me. Here's looking at you kid !
