18 Nov 22 Comment Neat idea but the blurry bits on the butterfly and the patchy background rather spoil it for me. Nov 26th
18 Nov 22 Comment Not quite sure about this, technically very clever and it is definitely altered reality but stones not being sentient beings rather spoils it for me. Me being literal again.

I don't agree with your judges. I always think of the composer Sibelius who said "a statue has never been set up in honour of a critic". So do your photography to please yourself. 		Nov 26th
18 Nov 22 Comment This is a creative take on the original which definitely improves it. I agree with the other comments about the adjusting the circular base. Nov 24th
18 Nov 22 Comment A great trio. I liked the puns in the text especially the "sweet wrapper" :)
Very imaginative and creative and a great idea for a club competition - I hope you did well. 		Nov 23rd
18 Nov 22 Comment I think removing the fawn area at the top would be an improvement, not particularly bothered about the fingers. Nov 23rd
18 Nov 22 Comment Nice treatment - a big improvment on the original. I agree about removing the little black lines; not so sure about the "star effects but that's just me. Nov 17th
18 Nov 22 Comment Thanks Mike , I agree that would be an improvement Nov 17th

40 Nov 22 Comment You're right about the back wall, when I look again it needs darkening down a bit. Thanks. Nov 30th
40 Nov 22 Reply thanks I wondered about that too Nov 23rd
40 Nov 22 Reply Thanks I think this gives it a bit more "whiz" Nov 22nd
40 Nov 22 Comment Pleasant effect, I am with Don in wanting to whack up the vibrance a bit. Is there a slight tilt in this image? Nov 22nd
40 Nov 22 Comment Very nice. I think the man on the beach really adds to the mystery of the picture. I think straighten the horizon and perhaps crop the bottom off slightly to give more of a square image and I think you have a winner. Nov 22nd
40 Nov 22 Comment Removing or leaving in the people is arguable. Actually it's a great sky and I think this tips me towards preferring the colour version although both are good. I like your treatment of the monochrome version. Nov 22nd
40 Nov 22 Comment This is an attractive shot despite what you had hoped. Lovely sky, silhouettes work all right, not sure I would change very much at all although I appreciate not what you planned.
These wild birds probably more attracted to feeding on the corn in the fields than sitting on lakes so unfortunate. You didn't mention if you were in the hides by dusk, I understand these species can be nervous because of hunters. Maybe a better attempt next year?
I shoot with a 300mm f4 Olympus lens often with 1.4x convertor, almost always hand held. It is uncomfortably heavy but hand held gives me more freedom. Sometimes I use a bean bag in hides. 		Nov 22nd
40 Nov 22 Comment Great capture, I definitely agree with zooming in on the faces also darkening the grasses a touch. Nov 22nd
