There has got to be a witty reply to that, but I can't think of one! |

Joe, we were insructed very firmly to stay seated because some of the bridges were very low. |

Lucky - yes, but also VERY quick reaction! You caught him at exactly the right position and your compositional skill must be truly instinctive. It is sharp, apart from the rapidly moving legs and you did really well to stop your own movement before pressing the shutter. I really like the expression on the face of the girl at the right hand edge. |

An excellent shot Erik. This shot illustrates the wonderful camouflage that nature provides. Your focus and composition are dead right. Regarding Isaac's crop, I could happily go with either that or your original crop. |

Thomas, I agree with Isaac about the red area, which is quite easy to overcome, as you show in your second additional image. The Topaz Impression filter will always be controversial on an image such as this. Some people will prefer to see a pure nature image and will not like the use of Topaz Impression. Others will see it as an artistic rendition and may like the effect. My own view is that you show what you want to show - I quite like the effect. It may help the viewer to interpret the image as artistic if you include more of the background and apply the same artistic effect to that. A single isolated image of a natural history subject will usually be interpreted as pure natural history and the artistic filter will not be appreciated. |

This is the sort of thing that appeals to me! I do like the symbiotic relationship between the old and the new. Individually the two buildings are interesting, each in its own right. However, put together they seem to be making a statement that there is room for young and old together in the world. The angular composition also suggests that the old building is being gently supported by the new one. (Maybe I need to change my medication!!!) |

Excellent environmental portrait, Isaac. The lighting on the face has been dealt with very well to avoid the usual deep shadow you get in these circumstances. Background is nicely subdued both in lighting and lack of sharpness, and the overall composition gives us just enough to see what sort of location it is. |

It's another classic Joe Hearst image! The sense of neglect comes over well with the rust and the missing bolt at the lower right. I don't think it is as sharp as you would want it to be, but there is always a challenge in balancing aperture and shutter speed to get good depth of field while at the same time avoiding camera shake (I presume it was hand held). The big, smooth round doorknob make a good contrast against the rusty rectangular plate and the textured door. |
