Hi Ian. Thanks for your comments. It would be great to meet up with you when you come over to North Yorkshire. More about the church from Google:
St Thomas Becket is the most iconic of all the churches on Romney Marsh. The tiny building that dates back to the late 12th century sits isolated in a field cut through with dykes and grazed by sheep; the houses of the original medieval inhabitants of Fairfield have long since disappeared. Constructed with a wooden frame and walls of wattle and daub, the church was restored in the 18th century when the walls were replaced with bricks. |

Hi Vella, I lifted the following from https://www.rob-tomlinson.com/places/church-st-thomas-becket-fairfield
1162 - 1170
Legend has it that Thomas à Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, journeying across the Romney Marshes, fell into one of the marsh's many ditches and prayed to St. Thomas for rescue. A passing farmer saved him and the Archbishop had the church built by way of gratitude.
There is much more on the website. |

Gary, thanks for not cropping. I like the framing I have. Your adjustments do give the image more strength. I guess I am more used to the subdued colours we get in England in March which was when the picture was taken. |

Bill, I had cataract surgery on both eyes in the fall of last year, and I too was stunned by the sudden improvement in clarity and colour rendition in my vision. Great image with which to celebrate. This is very well done and the perspective has been well corrected. I had always thought of Lutheran churches as being somewhat austere, but this is truly spectacular. |

Super portrait, Ian. Good pose, well lit and with a subdued, textured background. However, her left hand is neither in nor out. To crop it out means cropping into her neckline, and if you leave it in, I would like to see a little more. Maybe you have more on the frame at the bottom? |

Brilliant capture, Erik. There isn't much more one can say about this image. It is sharp, well exposed and you really did catch the decisive moment. I do prefer Isaac's crop though. As for what the fish is thinking, I go along with you! |

Dr Flip is back! Great capture, Vella and a lot of excellent PP work which is simply not detectable - well done. Isaac's brightening of the bird has helped but I prefer your framing. To flip or not to flip? Personal choice I think, although we in the West do read from left to right, so the flip may well be preferred. |

Isaac, I am surprised that you were able to get close enough to these animals to get a phone shot. I would have wanted a long telephoto and a pair of running shoes! The light is very soft and pleasing, but I think the foreground could be given a bit more contrast. (I tried taking it into ON1 RAW but the jpg quality broke down and it produced massive haloes). |

This is a great view of this iconic mountain. The colours are very good, especially the pink hues in the mountain and the cloud. I prefer your original framing to Isaac's crop, although I would probably take a little off the water at the bottom. |

Hi Isaac. Thanks for the comment. The water is just a drainage ditch to catch surface water when it rains.
What happened to Dr Flip? Is it Dr Crop from now on? |
