1 Feb 20 Comment Hi Than
Absolutely love this picture, The silhouettes really work so well, as does the wonderful warm colours of the sky. So many stories to read into about what people are doing. I love it, but I hope you don't mind I made a couple of edits. I cropped up and down and slightly from the left, brightened it slightly using levels and just added a touch of contrast. See what you think. Whichever. A stunning image I so enjoyed seeing.

Words fail me this is simply sensational your skill in capturing this image is outstanding and you have caught every bird with a different wing trajectory this is one of the most soothing pleasing peaceful pictures I have seen in many a long year.

the Arrows have 3 set displays each season which one they perform on the day is dependent on the cloudbase altittude the 3 displays are Full,Rolling and flat I do my homework carefully and watch the official videos of the 3 displays before each season and make notes so I know what to expect and then fire away and sometimes get lucky.

I was about to reply the same thanks for the clarification on my behalf I do my homework on their 3 displays dependent on cloudbase and as you say they are in a steep dive before the starburst grand finale.

You have depicted a beautiful English winters morning and shown it for me in its full glory the water droplets highlighted on the tree are beautifully captured and are also picked out on the fence wire on the left hand side, the picture is beautifully composed and balanced.I have been so lucky to have seen your prints first hand I would imagine this would print up wonderfully well and liven up any wall it graced.

4 Feb 20 Comment Hi Bill
I often shoot from a low angle wherever possible I think it really gives impact. The smoke is superb. Composition spot on. Red can be a terrible distraction, but I find the 2 areas of red really balance one another out in this case. I can almost feel this monster thundering past. Great image that should do so well for you.

4 Feb 20 Comment Hi Isaac
Great image so well composed I could be wrong but the nearest pole looks like it has a frame which could well be a way of stretching a net that is a guess and not from knowledge a good image always asks a question or tells a story yours certainly tells a story and asks a multitude of questions which hopefully someone will answer.

4 Feb 20 Comment Hi Joe
You only saw the one shot and for me you nailed it. The man and the dog are the vital ingredient for me and so make this image. I love the muted reflections in the water and the tree on the left just adds a splash of colour to a very overcast day. Well spotted and well presented and composed.

17 Feb 20 Comment Hi Peter
Totally novel idea superbly executed and presented had to look closely at first I thought it was a young Ronnie Wood at first glance.
All power to your creative mind and would love to see more of the pack.

31 Feb 20 Comment Hi Ella
Love the contrast in the image and the light and shade on the foreground grass is stunning perfectly composed and cropped and as you said the sky is the icing on the cake brilliant image that was made for mono.

31 Feb 20 Comment Hi Paul
You took the image from the perfect view point mono is the perfect medium for this very contrasty which I love amd I also love the way the reflections merge into the solid structure brilliant image.

31 Feb 20 Comment Hi Ed
This so works for me you have captured the textures so well but that door ajar and the window behind so makes well seen well presented and one to be proud of.

31 Feb 20 Comment Hi Michael
A really warm welcome and I hope you will be as happy as I have been in this wonderful group,from whom I have learnt so much.
I like Paul have to admit I have never taken an I.R. shot so feel a little lost in any advice I can give but I am always very keen to learn new techniques from those in the know.
From a compositional point you have a great lead in and the sweep of the lakeside takes you all the way through the image beautifully it is pin sharp and great detail in the trees and foliage the black of the sky and the lake does not bother me I love the way that is broken up with the single reflection.
Gorgeous image to start with I look forward to enjoying more of your work and learning some new skills.

31 Feb 20 Reply Hi John
Love Thomas's work and his attitude and I was lucky enough to meet him and have a coffee and a chat with him about 18 months ago he is a very humble guy and your image reminds me of his image though he left his in colour I prefer mono for this.

31 Feb 20 Comment Hi John or is it Mr Adams ?
As always so well seen great depth in the image contrast perfect and detail all the way through I remember Thomas Heaton doing an image like this a couple of years ago and loved that and I love this well done John.

32 Feb 20 Reply Think it should do really well the lighting on the robe is really good the folds are good just darken the highlights on the hands and good to go as they say Feb 19th
32 Feb 20 Comment Hi Diana
The lighting looks really good to me as I have found out judges prefer eye contact but for me this angle really works my only observation would be just darken the hands and light area of the arm as it competes with the brightness of the face otherwise great portrait.

62 Feb 20 Comment Hi Israel
I have done a lot of portraits in the last couple of years and I so like this one I especially like the way she is looking into the distance almost lost in her thoughts it asks questions nicely composed and very well presented just a couple of thoughts of mine I would just drop the highlights ever so slightly to take the glare of the face and her blouse and just put a very thin white border maybe 2 pixels wide around the edge of the image to seperate the image from the background beautiful portrait I enjoyed very much.
