I forgot to say that I liked the small puff of dust kicked up by the horse as it left the ground. |

Looking at the colour image, it is a plant. I missed it! The general consensus seems to be get rid of the left hand side, so that's what I'll do before using it in competitions. Thanks everyone. |

I like the horse and rider and you have got the position of them just right. Their tones look good as well. There are some dodgy bits in the background - some vertical lines to the left, above and to the left of the post and some smudgy bits between the post and the rider. Are they where you did the cleaning up? Apart from those, this is a good image. She looks very comfortable. I ride but I've only jumped on one occasion and only over a very low bit -it was quite scary! |

Wes' comment made me laugh, but he is right -one day people won't have any idea what it is. I also agree with Stephen that the pen is not quite right. Glasses are fine -you read the Bible and the position of them as well as the other elements is good. I can see that you maybe needed something to physically connect the glasses and the church and pointing towards the steeple was inspired! So, maybe they do fit. The whole picture is well constructed -as always when you do them, blending the different parts superbly well. A very good image, Carol. |

i really like this as the man's cheeks are so obviously working hard to make the sound. If you are not using it for a PJ competition, then you can adjust a bit more. As Wes says, darken the very bright parts on the left and right frame edges and subtly brighten the faces of the men. I'd also brighten the instrument he is playing to give it more emphasis. This is a super shot. |

I prefer the lighting on the right hand flower as it appears almost translucent whereas the left hand one is more ordinary. I wondered whether it would be improved by brightening it a little. I also feel that you need a 2px white line around the image to separate it from the background which would have the effect of increasing the vignette effect. Try it and see! Your shot is unusual as normally the front flower would be the brightest and the back one darker. |

i agree that the bird's head doesn't quite stand out enough at the moment and that the two bright areas within the foliage above the head detract from it. However, the wings are good and it is a different sort of bird shot, so it is worth carrying on to sort those things out. i thought these egrets usually nested higher in the branches so they are often against too bright sky, so this is better. |

Yes, the bright parts still look too bright, but they seemed less so on my monitor, so I must do some more work on them. |

It looks like a very odd building. Why do architects need to make such pointed structures? It has the same look as the Shard in London and a similar building in Liverpool designed to look like a ship's bow because of its location adjacent to the waterfront and connections with the strong history of sailing. Your picture does show the shape against a very good sky, but I wonder whether these types of shot do well in Competitions. The tonal range is good and it stands out well with lots of detail but is it exciting enough to get acceptances? It's a bit too centrally placed in the frame to be pictorial although it is obviously dominant in the picture. I'm not sure about it but I would definitely have taken it myself. |
