You missed 'composition, lighting, artistry and genius' Bill, but I'll forgive you

Thanks.

Hoisin Duck Breast with Spicy Stir Fry

Yesterday I shot it for my recipe book. Thanks.

Rib Beef with Puy Lentils and Rocket

Thanks Ali. Since my food stylist moved to Spain I've had to do most of it myself on small jobs. I'm glad she had the patience to teach me (and that I put in the effort to learn a new skill).

Short-eared Owl

I don't shoot wildlife these days, but I know how much work goes into realising images like this. It's superb.

Old and New Traditions

Thanks. Of course you have to be 'of a certain age' to get the reference

Bark!

Thank you both. These are certainly the trickiest to get, even after years of preparation

Chloe hates having her photograph taken, which makes this a rare one.

Thanks Matt.

Harley

Nice of you to say so. Thanks.

Wing It

Thanks. I don't normally touch wildlife, but when you're at the coast .....

Sunset Of The Age

Nice. I only live 25 mins away and I've never shot it. There's some irony there somewhere.

The Watcher

Thanks both.

There's a lot of hard-wired behaviour in pedigrees. The first time Max saw a deer on television he was about four months old and his reaction was to point, tail straight out and one front paw raised. That said, the first time he saw a pony in the flesh he did the same thing, so his species recognition isn't all it could be

One Good Tern Deserves Another

Thanks for commenting. It was very overcast with occasional flickers of sunlight from the west. Waiting paid off.

Thank you.

Autumn

Thank you. Sometimes it's good to look down

By: Robert_Malcolm

errrr.......again

You obviously talk a lot and feel a little hoarse in the morning. Perhaps I should acquire a similar mask - it looks better than I do too.

A day in the beach

She smells old sea-going shells by the seashore?

Nice work.

White bike in london

It looks a lot better than Boris's efforts. Great capture for the lights alone.

Gherkin

A lot of people use this passageway as a photographic viewpoint for 30 St Mary Axe, but usually manage to get it in focus. You seem to have erroneously focused on a turquoise 'twist and go'. Anyone viewing this would think you were trying to emphasise the importance of economical transport and the relative unimportance of Swiss Re to the man in the street. I'm sure that wasn't your intention and you'll just have to go back and take it all over again

Toodle-uma-luma

Thanks Isabel. It had been very windy, but I find this type of 'discard' deplorable, as you can probably tell.

Snow Dog Millionaire

Works for me - happy dog, great shot. Gil is none too good in snow because his arthritis claws his claws, as it were (they cramp).

Cake with no name

Thanks. Unfortunately it looks better than it tastes. The cake part is good, but I need to rebalance the fruit element as it's a little too sour. Such is experimentation

Terrific detail.

Gilbert The Mighty

He was 12 when we took him in as a rescue and on his last legs with depression, a heart murmur, fluid on both lungs, kidney disease and a degenerative spinal condition. Our vet gave him 8 weeks tops! It's taken a great deal of work to get him this far, but he's worth every penny and every minute. Oh, and he's no 'gent'. He's like Leslie Phillips crossed with Giacamo Casanova!

Roasted Butternut Squash

Thanks IB. I'm glad you said that because this is what I usually get paid for (although I'm doing my own styling for my book)

Did I mention the recipe book?

Antwerp Station

I'd forgotten how fantastic the light can be there (sometimes). Thanks for the reminder.

Steph

Nice timing. A smile might have helped, although I suppose that might have been there had the sun shone

Brave girl.

Poppy field

Nice composition. We all seem to love those poppies. I haven't had time this year so it's nice to see a few.

Garlic Mushrooms

Thanks both. It's one from a series of shots and I covered over 200 yesterday afternoon, which is very demanding as I was relighting most of them. Some, it must be said, are better than others, but I should have around 50 that are usable. A lighter day today (no pun) with only 10 scheduled, but as they involve cooked meat they're particularly important. The table is one of six that I recently brought in and I think its neutrality works well with the earth tones of the 'shrooms - think?
