Thanks for all your comments. This little boy was captivating and I knew he made for a good picture. But it does have its problems, not least the reflections in the window next to him and the large amount of blank white space beneath him. I did try altering these and played around with several options but came to the conclusion that I was wasting my time and I would have to live with what was there. |

The high angle shows most of the elements of this garden but somehow I feel it lessens the impact of the arrangement. On this occasion the overhanging branch on the top right probably helps because it appears the garden has nothing at that point. However, I think the main point of focus is on the left hand side and would suggest cropping off the right half of picture so that you have just the rocks leading up to the tree stump. This was difficult to photograph from this position. |

Ursula, this is a very crisp shot of a beautiful place. Agree with Dick about the filter and also about the fence direction but that's what you had there. As you used a tripod perhaps that prevented you getting down lower because if you could have that would have thrown the interesting fence higher and given the tees more impact. Snow is difficult to take well and this is well exposed. |

The light on this is very nice especially on the small patch of reeds on the left. What I find slightly too bright is the light on the lower neck of the spoonbill - the yellow and cream section where some definition seems to have been lost. Compare that with the bird's reflection. You might be able to bring that back slightly with some exposure compensation in RAW filter. I would also crop off a slice from the top as you still would retain plenty of the bird's environment.

A startling and vivid image with the water drops well caught. It shows off the flower's structure very well. Very sharp for a handheld shot especially if you were some distance from the lily. |

A dramatic image of an inert object! Agree with Dick about the left hand pipe but without it there would be too much blank space. Great texture as always. |

Great title and a charming image. My only question is 'whose hand is this?' If it's yours then you are pretty good at one-handed photography! In my photo club pictures of 'birds on sticks' often get some less than positive comments despite the patience and skill needed to take them - so a 'bird in the hand' would certainly avoid that. |

Dick,thanks for the comments and the philosophical questions that this shot so obviously raises but I completely failed to see when I took it. Possibly another question - is the first class door locked on the assumption that no one is good enough to travel first class? Maybe the boy had some of these answers but the train had left the station before I could have asked them. |
