But it is still old from a walk with the dogs

Gary, sometimes I think you really need a slr. So you can see, what you shooting at. This is a pleasing photo, not the first, but also not the first, which is crooked so badly. It destroys the feel of symmetry and and consecutively the balance. Also uneven framing of the archway ads to it.

No way do i want an SLR, looks fine to me

I'm with timor here, too much of crookedness

Ehh... You are under Leica propaganda. On the other hand you, as a Leica owner, are showing remarkable persistence in actually using it for photography.

I see what you are going for here, but here is a wicked imbalance with the framing. If you are gonna go with the cathedral arch, it needs to be even on both sides...the RHS needs to be straight vertical and perfectly balanced with the LHS. This shot is totally random and needs some serious straightening.....in my opinion. But again...I see what you are going for and I like the idea. Also, possibly lacks a strong subject...the people in the foreground are...meh

I dont think i did too bad 1 handed with these 2 pulling me all over the place

O, the dogs are geometrically OK. Beautiful dogs.
Next time park them by the nearest hydrant. They gonna mark theirs territory and you will have free hand to hold the camera. Or train them in executing "don't move" command, but don't make out of them scapegoats for crooked pics.

 

[gsgary]

But if another dog goes past and they cant get to it they scrap with each other off the lead they are great my partner cant hold them at the moment because she has to go in hospital in the next few weeks for a double heart bypass op

I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck.
