What a brilliant Shag (said the actress to the bishop!!).

Superb shot and as above made to work against such a stunning sky really sets this up.

Someone Home

But no Father Christmas ?? Interesting and over hugely romantic but whats wrong with that.

Really interesting lighting and yes you can't help warm to this guy - how you caught that goodness knows but you did.

I think you need to do less networking and more photography TBH!!

I love his cropped hairBTW!! Sorry I couldn't resist that

Good work and reliably near perfect, as always (how bloody annoying).

Sinking Feeling

Superb use of colours - quite excellent. It is so weird seeing the water fold around a boat in this way it sets up some sort of very ancient fight or flee response I think. Magical image

Peace.....

Excellent shot - but it is titled Peace ... so why the noisy sky!! Just though I would mention it - everything else is really spot on and indeed to be fair it is a suprbly tranquil and peacful image

Afternoon in Tarragona

Cool HDR would like to see the companion shot taken 'up hill' left to right.

The boat

Really cool image - the title worries me (which boat is 'the boat'?) and I am afraid I am not a fan of the presentation but this is such a subjective thing isn't it. For me it makes the shot look like a commercial rendition almost a post card - but also it is really very heavy. Lets see the photograph rather than the photoshop!!

Buttermere Pines

Lots of tough competition for this image - but this has to be right up there with the very very best.

All Night Long

Just looked at this image with a crashing tidal wave around it - now all is calm.
This is a beautiful shot I agree the light on the bridge is perfect and I also love the graduated sky too .

Zither 2

Yep superb - a special moment beautifully captured - its what photography is all about - light magic.

Farewell Hayling

Wow what a strong image/images Although it has almost lost its context I much prefer V2 because of the superb strong diagonal repeating patterns - they are perfect. Great wood grain detail adds interest - would like to see how these shape up in mono with high contrast.

Socking Wet

The both look like they are 'on the pull'- excellent aquatic candid - like their expressions as above well caught.

Grey Squirrel

Look closely and you can see his nuts!!


Actually I guess this is a female with kittens from the look of her. Good detail highlighted by your limited dof nice hint of eye contact - all keeps the viewer engaged.

Nice mantis - but there are a few bits missing (ends of legs and antena) which does detract just a little for me.

Thanks for the suggestion (don't seem to have transform on PSP) but did have a go with distort.

Free As a Bird

I really like the simple positioning and composition - a well worked image.

Fishing Huts

Excellent use of mono - works superbly.

Ready for take-off

Always wondered what the original artists model looked like - now I know!!

Its behind you !!

Tang

What an engaging image - I love the muted colours - you can defrost them quite quickly by blowing on them (although it is a little like blowing a rasberry!!). Well you started it - pail indeed...

Cheers

The Dark Wood

What a cool shot - just how long have you been sitting on this superb image?

Cloudy in Viet Nam

Rather good - superb detail

The Anvil

Yes absolutely agree the movement is perfect beautifuly timed and exposed. For me I should like to have seen a slightly lower ambient light (to make the glowing iron show up even more) but this is quite excellent.

Very funny - yes factor 50 'slip and slop' ...

By: Robert_Malcolm

Quiet Lake

Yes I like the feel you have captured here - the slight lead in line perhaps could be taken from the bottom left corner to make it work a little harder - otherwise good work.

Natures Wonder

Wow this is impressive ...

Living In A Box

Indeed - interesting repeat patterns and not just the box appartments but also the bikes. Good stromg diagonals and lead in's all contribute to a very interesting image. Only grip really is the clipped ends to the boxes (esp lhs).

rosebud and columbine

Brilliant shot and post production too - very well worked.

Lighthouse

Excellent - is it me but all the stuff I am voting on and really like this evening doesn't seem to be widely favoured.

The things I like about this image: The wonderful play being acted out by people doing all sorts of stuff you can tell they are excited by the waves - taking photo's and pretending to throw each other in - its great. And then the stage has that wonderful backcloth of the lighthouse - with just the merest hint of light to give a habited feel to it. The crashinig waves are perfectly caught you can almost imagine the sound - like a theatre audience in fact clapping the actors.

Madness that I am the first to comment on this fine image - its excellent
