Haha, Mr. Ball's Chutney! A favourite of mind down here in Lesotho/South Africa.

Some of the photos are nice, though the last one is, perhaps, a bit unflattering. A second before or after may have transformed this.

#1 is too dark, even allowing for the moody atmospheric dark side of the face you may have been going for.

#2 He could literally have been photoshopped into a black background, not mad on the PP at all, his hands looks waxy, I would use the green slider to dumb down the plasticy pink skin look.

#3 focus on the face seems soft, his hat seems more in focus, I also think this pic needs more contrast as its a bit flat. guy in black jacket is very distracting, sure its a crowded market pic but he is too large and the wrong type of 'busy crowd'

#4 Not bad, I woulda cropped some off left and had more for him to look into, I'm not mad on ur PP in ur pics, again more contrast in this one, what PP proggie do you use?

#5 Not for me, just too close to the subject.

#6 I like the contrasting onions but I'm not sure on this are some of the white onions blown?

#7 Under sat'd, again not personal but I think your PP needs a lot of work.

#8 Not bad

#9 Not bad and I don't mind your mans expression, it look's like he is working hard and it captures it well.

If I had ur raw files I'd def have a go at reworking a few of these pics.

My PP was pretty slow for me to get right, Lightroom 3 beta is free til June.
Then again otehr people might like ur PP and hate mine, its very personal taste.

I have Photoshop Elements but havne't played with it yet.
I know it's a case of spending an evening to see the features, how to use it but I haven't sat down to do it yet.
Anyone know of any sites with good tutorials etc, basics for it?

Thats how I learnt some of LR from vids, practice makes perfect also played a part.

Were you with the photowalk on Saturday? I didn't get to meet everyone at it.
