I echo the comments of the others. A great shot - well spotted. Would the shot have been better with less black below the cycle - as much black building as there is sky to balance the shot? Maybe but then it works well as it is.

I like the shot a lot. How to improve the feeling of floating away on the wind - could the umbrella handle have been in shot. Very difficult to get it staged right to achieve that but it would have been cool.

I really like this image. Warm colours that compliment the silhouetted pier. Does the dark foreground add to the shot? If it were cropped out would that emphasize the pier more or take away the context?

Adam773 says:

Super late afternoon feel to this shot. The basket and bench both silhouetted and given context. For me the 'blown' sea takes a little away not least because the crisp line of the post is affected by it.

Great composition. Piles and posts in water are very photogenic. I like the water here that sets off the posts very well.

I like this one - if the blacks had been emphasized a little more the blotchy foreground would have been black and the sun might not have been as 'blown'.

Nice composition but on my screen the balloon does not seem to be black.

Lovely warm colours - but am I going boss eyed - the trees don't seem sharp.

Interesting treatment. I like the slight purple / pinky hue to the image. The shot really gets you thinking - posh jacket, mattress on the floor - what's going on?

When Are the Waves?

Adam773 says:

This is a WOW for me. Love the lines and curves of the grasses, and the background is well controlled to show the grass off to best advantage. Great shot and use of light.

Adam773 says:

I really like this image. It is evocative of decay and days gone by. It could almost be the 'skeleton' of an old boat. Would the image have been better if the tops of the posts had been more above or below the horizon? Great sky.

Adam773 says:

I feel the saturation is overdone in this shot. It is something that I know I am guilty of but when the bard roof come out bright blue I think it is too much. fabulously sharp fence posts and wire insulators.

I really like the diagonal composition. As the image is entitled Hoar Frost I would have preferred a greater depth of field to see more frost clearly.

I spend a lot of time looking up into the canopy of the forest. There are magical colours and patters up there as this shot shows.

Forest Lace

Adam773 says:

I too would have liked the 'core' of the rose in focus. The overall effect is strong and the sharp ice great but I keep feeling that its an image of snow not one of a rose. Still it is a sleeping beauty so maybe the effect and the title match.

I love the composition but feel this shot is a bit dull. Was it a dull or slightly misty day. I'd like to see a little more 'umph' to this.

No - push the boundaries - try new things and ideas. Otherwise we just produce 'stock' images.

Another image where less is more. Nice and sharp - love the added detail of the water drops. The background details are suitably indistinct so do not detract from the frangipani bloom.

A Tot of Colour for you Sir ?

Adam773 says:

Great idea but for me it is less effective because of the golden fish being only half in the shot. I can, however, imagine how long you have to wait to get one fish uncluttered and head on.

I haven't heard of the idiom either. The photo is great - lots of character in the horse and its beautifully sharp. Black and white works really well here.
