Alan, You have done it again and produced another cracking composite. I particularly like this one because it is simple and uncluttered. Compositionally, the three objects (bird, rocking chair, boy) in the picture create a good visual triangle of interest. I like the way that your grandson is hanging for dear life onto the rocking chair creating a visual story in itself. And then you have the bird zooming left-to-right like a Spitfire pilot in WWII approaching a downed pilot who is hanging onto his parachute as he descends from his stricken aircraft. And then you have that column of white cloud in the background which not only links the objects but also provides a visual barrier between them. Not sure about Richard's suggestion regarding roping the rocking chair to the top edge of the frame as your picture hangs together (no pun intended) well enough without it. |

Richard, As an Englishman, I share your dichotomy between baseball and rounders. I have just returned from photographing the Civil Service Games at Loughborough University which featured some 20 different sports, one of which was rounders and played by some pretty burly boys! |

John, I quite like this image, which in an Englishman's typical understatement, is a way of saying I love it. Compositionally, I like the way that the three players are positioned off-centre to the right as they create a good visual triangle of interest. This leaves positive space on the left hand side in which the ball can 'operate'. I love the solarisation effect which has created an intriguing, mysterious, negativity that draws me in. I like the lack of distractions but detail in the background. Congratulations and very well done. |

Barrie, I am afraid this one does not do it for me. I suspect the original image is visually quite powerful with the mountains, falls and trees which in itself would make a pleasing image. However, although I am normally a fan of Find Edges, I find in this case that the end result is a little too samey. I like the texture of the trees which provides a good foundation for the image, but not the mountains and waterfall. |

Joan, I like the dominance and the diagonal compositional strength of the almond branch in the frame. Your technique to enhance the edges of the branch has worked very well and created an additional tactile quality which is most pleasing. I would like to have seen the background a little more muted and soft-focus as I find the tree in the background right to be a little distracting. |
