4 Aug 24 Comment Hi Erik
If this was a large colony I would think the noise was pretty deafening as well but that is part of the joys of nature that you bring to my screen every month to enthrall and educate me.
It what must have been a very crowded area you have done such a good job in isolating a single family with absolutely no distractions allowing the viewer to concentrate and take in the animal behaviour something you excel at.
As always superbly composed and presented.		 Aug 14th
4 Aug 24 Comment Hi Vella
I so love the title brilliant,fabulous capture depth of field perfect to really make the animals stand out,superb expressions and stance and the icing on the cake cathlights in the eyes brilliant image and title.		 Aug 13th
4 Aug 24 Comment Hi Guy
So you have the Lordstones and just further down the path you have the human statues they could almost be the Anthony Gormley figures on Crosby Beach.
Guy I would have been so entranced by the view this shot would have totally passed me by but your keen eye saw an opportunity and made it work,the non uniform line of people adds to the effect for me brilliantly seen,cropped,presented and totally unique.		 Aug 12th
4 Aug 24 Comment Hi Bill as always beautifully composed the richness of the colours are glorious and show the buildings off to their very best.
You so made the most of your early rising and produced a fabulous image.		 Aug 11th
4 Aug 24 Comment Hi Isaac
I always look at pictures and study them before reading the authors notes,this had me scratching my head,they say a good picture asks questions so this is a brilliant picture because it had me asking all sorts of questions then all became very clear after reading your notes.
Brilliantly spotted superbly captured something totally different a very limited pallette which so works I think its great well done. 		Aug 8th
4 Aug 24 Reply Many thanks Guy I chose the close up as i thought the colours of the eyes were such a strong contrast with almost monochrome of the rest of the image and she looks like she is almost leaning into the camera I never give my subjects direction I just ask them to be themselves or portray their character as they see fit I have several of this lovely lady but loved her enigmatic smile on this image.
I love your crop Guy and will certainly revisit the images and do similar many many thanks.		 Aug 7th
4 Aug 24 Comment Hi Gary
May I also send my warmest congratulations for your 50th anniversary.
Gary as already said your meticulous planning really paid dividends,I especially love the beautiful warm hues on the foreground rocks beautifully captured,the whole image is atmospheric,moody and dream like,stunning detail throughout,and that very delicate haze/mist is the absolute icing on the cake if would be a crime not to print this gorgeous image and you have a stunning reminder of your celebrations to look at every day.		 Aug 7th
4 Aug 24 Reply Many thanks Isaac she was a lovely model and she has copies of all the pictures. Aug 6th
4 Aug 24 Reply Many thanks Gary your straightening of the halo gives the picture more balance in my eyes i would be interested to know how you did it.

31 Aug 24 Comment Hi Ella
What a beautiful image of the Abbey for me you found the perfect spot from which to capture this idyllic scene,the reflections are so well handled and the backdrop of the dark trees contrast so well with the Abbey and really make it stand out the lead in takes the eye all the way through the picture, mono was a perfect choice,so hope there is more like this to come from your trip.

31 Aug 24 Comment Hi Ed
I love portraiture wonderful detail in the face and head covering, background well handled with just a hint of location,I really like the light that is illuminating upper rhs side of his head as we look at it,great job worth 3 dinars of anyones money.		 Aug 13th
31 Aug 24 Comment Hi Michael
I absolutely love this so strong and atmospheric fabulous lead in,the dunes look like rolling waves and are so well positioned for me the amount of light on the dunes is OK it gives them shape and definition,for me this is a very well seen and powerful image. 		Aug 11th
31 Aug 24 Comment Hi Peter
Outstanding vantage point,and also good advice about having a look out,as always wonderful tonal range,detail and composition I have never seen monument valley photographed this way it is so impressive.		 Aug 8th
31 Aug 24 Reply Many thanks Diana you may see this in the future at newton Village hall Aug 7th
31 Aug 24 Comment Hi John
With the wonderful contrast of light and shade and patterns created this image was made for mono,the person not only gives the eye a focal point but gives a great idea of the scale of the bridge,your eye never lets you down well done.		 Aug 7th
31 Aug 24 Reply Very much appreciated Peter I will most certainly try out your suggestions which sound good to me. Aug 6th
