Deep Blue Sea. by silverfoxey

I love the spacious feel of this shot.

Big world by M_squared

Excellent use of DOF here, to give a sense of mystery to the water lily leaves through which the chick is swimming. The title suits it very well.

My first reaction to this was to crop off the bottom two-thirds of the image, but I like it better as it is. Nice one.

The Mouth by paulbroad

This is, as you say, essentially a record shot, and it certainly shows what it is intended to show. That said, a record shot needs to be as near perfect technically as possible. Even though the main interest is adequately sharp, a bit more DOF would have been appropriate, and I think I would have gone for f/11 rather than f/8. Maybe some exposure compensation (-2/3 of a stop or thereabouts) would have avoided burning out the fish's tongue and the inside of its mouth, where it appears that some detail has been lost. There is no need to apologise for the angler's dirty fingers - that aspect is part of the truth, and truth is what record photography is all about.

Whatever the technical shortcomings this is still a very amusing image.

These images tell an intriguing story as well as being fine images in their own right

On My Way! by barbarahirst

Everybody else has said it all. Another smasher from you, Barbara.

Hanglider by Adee

Great capture. Even the pilot's expression is clear, especially in the large view. Well done.

Bonny Bairns by Nigeve1

Nice colour impact and composition, with the boat set off very well against the texture of the rocks on the distance. A very well conceived image.

Endangered ..... by Dave_Henderson

No, don't put it in the bin. I like it.

A nice relaxing cup of tea by gblythe

Certainly a very original idea. I am not sure whether I like it or not, but rather than damn it with faint praise let's give it a vote anyway.

Gorgeous! I like the Muscari just getting in on the act in V1.

Rock Face by lblythe

I am fascinated by rock faces. The first image I ever had accepted for an exhibition was a rock face. That was in 1962, and ever since then I have found the possibilities offered by such subjects most intriguing. So it was startling to realise that none of my rock face abstracts are on epz. I must do something about that soon.

Meanwhile, thank you for the reminder and for uploading such a good one. Please accept a well deserved UA.

Skip by lblythe

I am blown away by your skip images. The idea that one can find beauty in ugliness has never been better illustrated.

Now that's what I call a sunset!

Tricky it is, but you have made a good job of it nevertheless.
