Yes, either completely central or definitely offcentre but not just missing the middle. Either obey the rules or break them with a level of panache! |

They are very common here. |

I think what happens when a photographer sees something like this, is that we immediately know somehow it should make for a superb picture to illustrate abandonment of a manmade object in a beautiful environment. What we actually take depends on our own preferences. Some of us want to show the blight on the landscape, others want to home in on the rusty object itself, either going for the whole or selecting just a small part to show the details. I tend to take all those and decide later which is the best! |

I think the group of three in images 3 actually provide a focal point for the eyes so as everyone says, image 3 is the best. |

I like the colour one better. The glorious colour is superb and the tree stands out well. In the mono, the clouds behind have a strange texture-almost like a fabric backdrop rather than clouds , especially at the top.
It is much better with the cleanup of the horizon.
I tend to agree with Steve -the tree is slightly offcentre but not enough to put it on the thirds. Maybe a complete centralisation would work. |

This is effective because of the back lighting. I don't object to the eyelashes of the left eye. Good stand out from the background. Not obvious that it was taken at a zoo.
I agree that the brightness of the colour, especially of the background is a distraction so it is good in mono. |

Hedgehogs are found all over GB, though their numbers have declined they get killed on the roads. People are encouraged to feed them with catfood so that they get fat enough for the Winter hibernation. We also are meant to enable them to move from garden to garden in search of food by having a small gap at the bottom of a fence. I'm not keen on having them in my garden because they harbour fleas and I have cats. The fleas shouldn't transfer to another species but I would rather not take the chance.
I don't understand the fuzziness of the spines either. I've taken photos of hedgehogs in the past without flash and they've been sharp. |

I think you've got the crop about right. The reservoir in the background of the original is better cropped off as you've done.
It's amazing what the pilots can do. Does the water simply get scooped into a tank because of the forward motion of the plane? It must make handling very difficult as the weight would change during the process, pulling the back end down.
I think the contrast on the mono version is fine. |

I agree with Steve that the flowers need more emphasis in the mono. You cropped quite a lot off the sky, but I still found my eye wandering over the image. Chopping off all the sky means the focus is on the old car, although it then loses the aspect of being abandoned in a lovely landscape. Why do people just leave their rusting vehicles anywhere they please? I appreciate it makes for interesting photos but at the same time it is littering the environment with rusting metal.
In some ways I like the colour version and the yellow flowers are much more important there. |

Looking at them afterwards, I think you are right about number 3 being better. The one I chose originally is too complicated and the eye doesn't know what to look at. |
