A great image Dhananjay. The overall effect is very pleasing and quite unusual. Your commentary leads me to believe you approached this with an idea in mind. A bit like a mission. Very well done. Your next mission (should you choose to accept it) is to go capture some lightning bolts. Now that will be some fireworks I'd like to see. |

A very strong image Barbara. I agree with Gary and Sherry, preferring the cropped version, mainly because of the sand's untidy surface in the foreground. But that's just me. Also being me, I wouldn't mind seeing a different version of this same image, but at a much slower shutter speed and using that wind, to show what it does to the grass. Movement of the grass, against solidity of the light house could be very interesting. |

4.30am ??? You pair of softies !!! Haven't you heard the two sayings "No pain, no gain" & "All artists must suffer for their art"?
This is a great image Gary, the balance and use of colours and elements are very well done. The reflected clouds in the water provide good depth. Some people, particularly down here would say the sun is a bit burnt out, but I say isn't that just what the sun does? Congratulations on a great image. |

And thank you indeed for sharing it Sherry. I've learnt this last fortnight that images with lots of blues and greens are peaceful and promote a calming effect on viewers. This certainly enforces that thought. The place, the time of day are great. The receding mountains show this place to be enough away from suburbia to provide a pleasant day of peace and quiet.
But I'm sorry, is that little piece of fencing in the very bottom right corner necessary? If I ever make it to the USA, you can slap my face. |

This is a very peaceful image Peter and I enjoy the serenity of it. As always, your use of foreground, middle ground and background provide great depth in this image. You mention an ISO of 1000, can I ask why so high? Given the shutter speed of 1/640, I would have thought an ISO of say 400 or less might have been sufficient. But still, as everyone has said, a beautiful image. |

Another one of your strong performing arts images Sophie. You have controlled what can be difficult lighting very well and frozen the movement very well also. Yes, it's unfortunate that the woman's right sleeve hides the other girl's face in the background, but that happens when performers, particularly dancers are on the move. I'm not a big fan of photographing in "burst mode", but maybe that would be helpful with this type of subject, then you have the luxury of picking from a sequence of images. I enjoy the story of this image. Gordon's version with that arm removed is also a step in the right direction. Very well done. Bravo. |

A superb image Henriette, congratulations. It makes me think back to Ansel Adams and his generation of photographers. As has been already said, a magnificent sky with lots of drama, together with adequate and suitable land content to make this a great landscape image. More please. |

This is a very strong image Trey and does what a photo should do, that is draw comments from its viewers. I personally don't mind the coloured flower against the black and white background. Focus stacking is a great technique to use when photographing flowers and you have used it well here. Congratulations on another strong image. |

Gordon, this is a great initial or opening image. Your work with the clouds is first rate. The amount and direction of light match the mine and scene very well. Composition as always is spot on with the receding coastline giving great depth to this image. Initial or opening image? I believe I've mentioned recently that I like the idea of portfolios, or collections of images along a common theme. Given your history and connection to this area, you could produce a stunning collection of images, all revolving around the past industry here. The exterior, interior, finer details, surrounding area, different viewpoints & different weather conditions would all combine to produce a superb body of work. If this was your opening image, I wonder what your closing image would be????? |

A superb image Sanford. She has great character in her face and you have presented her to us very well indeed. Your focusing is superb which helps us appreciate her. Then there is her environment, that completes her story and her history. Very well done Sanford.

This is a great image Jay, taken under not the most ideal conditions. Dappled lighting is always going to produce high contrast and we must just deal with it as best we can. You have done well with your processing to show us a good amount of detail. I enjoy the story of this image, the roots showing the tree's determination to grab hold and cling on to life. Your cropping is good, taking enough if the un-necessary elements out of the base, but leaving enough of the tree in the top to show where they lead. In this type of environment the lighting will always be a challenge and you have risen to it here. Very well done Jay.
