Hi Erik
Another nature masterpiece from the maestro you never fail to amaze me with your skill at capturing nature as it is, the different attitudes of the 2 birds is fascinating and a brilliant study in behaviour never thought I could have a favourite of your shots love them all but this is number 1 for me. |

Hi Vella
It seems you have created an image of many options with my esteemed fellow Group friends,I have always been a massive fan of the "letter box" crop so this sits well with me and nicely composed as you have left plenty of room at the bottom for the reflection,as already said you have done a remarkable job in pp getting this to sparkle and shine as you have kudos,I just love the colours but above all the sheer tranquility and peacefulness of the scene well done Vella love it. |

Hi Guy
As always your keen eye was working overtime love the lighting,tones and movement in the water the abstract nature really appeals to me and something completely different, I think this would also make a tremendous mono image as well. |

Hi Bill
It was so worth getting down low to get those reflections and the ripples and movement give a slightly abstract reflection which for me is wonderful,I think the space at the bottom is just right the sky is perfect anyone receiving one of your calenders is in for a treat.
It breaks my heart saying this as an aviation photographer I might consider removing the jet trail mid way up the Carousel to the right. |

Hi Isaac
Wow what an imposing and stunning piece of sculpture the detail is incredible,the sun looks very very strong yet use of 5 exposures means every single detail in the sculptures has been retained a feat in itself,I love the way you have placed the sculpture in the frame so the mountain can also be seen in the background I think this is so important to the image.
Fabulous to see the 3 Amigos and all looking so good. |

Hi Gary
As they say third time lucky,and lucky for us you did not like the waterfalls and and you could not enter the Chapel because it led to you to here ,love the fisheye effect as the effect sweeps you around the whole image great textures and wonderful shapes created within the architecture I really like the the ocassional leaf in full autumn colours scattered around the image they add an extra splash of colour.
I agree with the others I did find the greens a little strong but a wonderful image to investigate and enjoy. |

Hi Diana
I did strongly consider attempting to remove the jewelry it is the one form of photoshop I struggle with,and as this was created the other day I decided to upload as is and seek advice from group members,I will attempt to remove the necklace and see where I get,I had wanted to do something like this for ages but have not seen a lady who I thought would be ideal so I was not going to miss the opportunity to ask Naomi but I did get Adam to introduce us first. |

Hi Ella
The set up is wonderful but what so so impresses me is the way the lighting folds itself around the wonderful curves in the cloth this is outstanding lighting and preparation then we get to the main subject the flawless case of the clock against the textures of the pebbles superbly thought out and brilliantly executed, |

Hi Paul
Love the criss cross flow of the water carrying the eye trough the image shutter speed spot on for me and looking very moody like the others I would like to see it lightened just a little. |

Hi Michael
To say you were only using available light indoors you did remarkably well,I looked at the large image the eyes are pin sharp the left hand holding her hair is a great touch the other arm does rather take prominence and may have been better resting by her side or on her knee I do a lot of portraiture and know that hands and arms can be an issue,I would just lighten the back padding on the seat she is sitting on a touch as its rather bright.A portrait Heather should be very pleased with. |

Hi Peter
If asked to pick my favourite image of yours up until now that would have been an impossible task but for me this is it,the lighting and tones are superb but that sky adds power and a sense of movement in the clouds outstanding no more to say. |

Hi John
Firstly there is really good separation between each of the people you can clearly see everyone and also very different actions a couple of people look in deep contemplation a young lad fascinated by the pigeons a woman in a rush a whole mix of everyday life you have captured everyday life in action so well.
A couple of points I did notice, looks like a low and very strong sun,the vegetable stand behind the seated gentleman on the left is very bright and could do with toning down,the lower part of the sign above the shop and leading edge of sun shade also very bright I would take them down a touch as well,I was going to suggest cropping the sign out but I think that gives the shop added identity. |

Hi Barbara
Absolutely love this is as it is, mono so suits and adds to the impact of the image for me, normally I would suggest cropping down from the top but not in this case there is so much in that sky and compliments the lower half, powerful image beautifully presented. |
