17 Apr 20 Comment The treatment is a little ott for my taste particularly on the rocks. Also I feel the bright area at the top is a touch distracting. I do like slow shutter speeds on waterfalls. Apr 13th
17 Apr 20 Comment Very colourful and an interesting pose. The view from behind gives us the splendour of of the costume and the slight turn of the head adds that human touch. Apr 13th
17 Apr 20 Comment You have managed to combine the bright colours we are familiar with in your images with more subtle tones. I like the inclusion of your son in the frame and the limited focus that along with the colours makes the fish bowl stand out even more. I do wonder if we need the full reflection and maybe a crop above the fishes fin to a more panoramic view would help. Apr 13th
17 Apr 20 Comment Well composed and presented.Not familiar with this particular plant, but from Dicks comments it would appear to be a bit special. Good idea to add the white stroke, it helps define the image area on our black pages. Apr 13th
17 Apr 20 Comment First of all good imagination. I do like the original as it is , but you modified image is a fun picture. If I was to suggest an alteration I would keep the colour of your background but inverted with the blue at the top. Apr 13th
17 Apr 20 Comment I really like the colours and the way the light shows the contours of the land. For me the building adds scale and a focal point, the foreground also gives a nod to the scale of the scene as well as a bit of colour. Apr 13th
17 Apr 20 Reply I think the shadow details depend on the screen on which you are viewing the picture. But it really is like a black cat in a coal cellar with a polished black locomotive on a bright day. Apr 9th
17 Apr 20 Reply Thanks Dick. Yes it is moving backwards Apr 9th

19 Apr 20 Comment I like the feeling of solitude within this magnificent building. You picked the right position and the right moment to hit the button. I can almost hear the footsteps. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Comment The softness of the image suits the flower heads but seems a little odd on the foliage. Simple colours and neatly framed. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Comment For me the colour image is my favourite. The mono image has drama, the antique for me does not really suit the subject.I also note that the images are cropped slightly differently.Stan's comments on the mono version echo my toughts. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Comment Very peaceful and soothing on the eye. Rules tell us that you have too much sky, but as you say breaking the rules can work. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Comment An interesting combination of the hotel and the mountains, then you add the paint effect very imaginative.The yellow on the right gives the impression of the forest being ablaze.I have to agree about the red cloud being a bit domineering. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Comment Another interesting image of your many animals. The infrared effect works for the foliage and the sky, but I am not so sure it helps show your cattle at there best. I like the composition and the fact they are feeding and not staring at you.As Stan suggests a bit of ummph to the contrast. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Reply I believe Paris was the first location that this was done. Apr 13th
19 Apr 20 Reply Thank Stan. I kept the odd lock in as I thought it made a better composition, but I do agree about the window. Apr 9th
19 Apr 20 Reply Thanks for the comment. I do take your point about the top rail. Apr 9th
19 Apr 20 Reply Thanks for the explanation Isaac. Apr 1st
