Swim in the Mersey? Seriously? :) |

Thanks for your words of appreciation, Ian. I have other pictures which highlight the amount of 'clutter' on the beach, 'clutter' which is essential to the operation of these boats. Maybe a picture for next month. |

Agreed Isaac. I just thought someone would want the red to be slightly less distracting. |

Can't have bits of Yorkshire ending up on the Mersey! It's the War of the Roses all over again! |

Funny that no-one has suggested toning down the bright red buoy. |

Ian, you had a very difficult set of conditions for this. Photographing from a rolling boat is not easy as I found some years ago trying to take pictures of whales off the coast of New Zealand. I was not bothered by the kayak until Vella mentioned it, but I suppose it could be cloned out for a visual art shot, but not for photo journalism. Isaac's increase in contrast and vibrance has brightened up the image and would be allowed. I am amused by the use of the term 'clipper' by the organisers. The old clippers were square rigged ships with 3, 4, or 5 masts, not overgrown yachts with Bermuda rigs. I guess that makes me a grumpy old man! Anyway, Well done Ian for getting the image under such difficult conditions. |

Another first class action shot Erik. Superbly caught with the viewer wondering what was going to happen in the next few seconds. It always amazes me that people actually want to do this sort of thing. I think if you have a burst of shots of the action, you could make a good triptych showing what happened. The image is sharp and well exposed, and your viewpoint was well chosen to cut out distracting background. |

Vella, your image is superb with the mother and cub in the long grass. I did not have any issue with your original pass in PP, but Gary with his eagle eyes has spotted an improvement, and I like your revised image better. Well done! |

Gary, I didn't notice the bright blue object between the boats. Thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately I don't have a close-up of the stern of Senlac Jack. I do have lots of other shots of the boats etc on this beach, though. Maybe another for next time? |

Isaac, there is no sand. It is shingle - small stones rounded off by constant wear from surf when the tide comes in. Difficult to walk on because it shifts under foot. You find sand when the tide is well out. |

Bill, this is a very good night shot. The sky is blue and there is detail in the shadows. I think this works better in colour than converting to mono. I particularly like the change in colour of the city lights to the RHS. Good framing too. |

Great colour and content Isaac. I think the picture is made by the grumpy expression on the face of the stallholder. Not enough customers? I am also intrigued by the lack of security, seeing two large and presumably sharp knives in the foreground for anyone to pick up....
Smoked fish and olives - makes me feel hungry! |

Gary, what a super building to photograph. You have chosen a viewpoint and composition which compels the viewer to move into the picture. I agree with Erik that conversion to mono was right as it allows a more graphic treatment. Can you make it more graphic with an increase in contrast? |
