Ian, you got some nice shots there. The backlighting really gives them life. Yes, it's good to be able to get out a bit more. |

Maybe the second palm is not so tall so its shadow is shorter. |

Bill, I apreciate your comments. I was very much wandering round the gardens on my own and it was a case of grabbing a shot while the light was there. It was evening and the shadows were changing all the time. There were other club members around but the gardens are quite large and by the time I could have got assistance, the light would almost certainly have changed. |

Gary, I left the flower in behind the foxglove to keep some image content above the diagonal stem. I hadn't spotted the bright spots at lower left, and agree they should go. |

Vella, this is a very thought provoking portrait of this Simian. The eyes are very strong indeed and I see a very intelligent personality, deep in thought and being sad at what he/she is contemplating. Perhaps he/she is looking into the future and wondering what it holds, bearing in mind what humans are doing to the planet. This is a portrait that I will remember for a long time. |

Ha Ha! I thought Dr Flip would strike again! I did wonder about the brightness of the flowers. Thanks for your input. |

Ian, I too am not a great fan of colour popping, but I think that this is one image that really benefits. You have caught the spirit of support for Ukraine in the UK and made an image of our times. It is sharp and the exposure has been well controlled in spite of the strong lighting. |

Erik, that is a gold medal for you as well as for the hawk. The picture is absolutely stunning and one I shall remember for a long time. The action has been caught beautifully and shows excellent reactions by you (and the hawk) and your great ability to handle your equipment. |

Bill, this picture really has impact. The chairs dominate the composition and having the red one in the foreground really works. I like the leaning composition too. Great cleaning job as Isaac says. |

This is quite an interesting composition. The shadow from the near tree leads the eye directly to the adult and child in the shadow under the second tree. What is particularly amusing is that although they are under the second tree, they are in the shade of the near tree. The composition does not stop there, though, as the eye is then drawn to the ship on the skyline before going back to the people. The splash of sunlight on the blue chair is enough to hold the attention in the image. If you had come across this scene a few minutes earlier, the long shadow would have been a little closer to the second tree trunk and the ship might have been far enough back to line up perfectly!
I remember being in Ft Lauderdale one weekend during an extended business visit and considered resting in the shade under a coconut palm until I noticed several large coconuts on the sand under the tree. I decided it was not a safe place to rest. Happily, there are none in the image here! |

Gary, I have little experience with street photography and even less with posed models. Your PP work has greatly improved the lighting on the lady's face and helped to bring out her personality. It has also gently subdued the background and brought her forward visually. I agree with Isaac that a higher viewpoint would have reduced the visual impact of the leg and knee. Standing further back (if you could) and using a longer lens would have had a similar effect.
Gary, did you get my July submission - I had to send it via Paula as I have some email problems sending to gmail addresses at present? |
