Very creative

Maybe a little too much HDR - it has created a halo around the object that are adjacent to the blue in the sky

Nice - our area has a population of 2 people per square mile

Good job - nice choice of mono

The HDR has introduced a grayish blob in the sky - most likely where the blown highlights (ie lack of detail) were

Nice in B&W, few blown highlights in the clouds on the right but I like it just the same

I might have cropped it just above the 'green thing' in the bottom right corner - otherwise .. love it.

Oooh - I remember that book too!

Half the fun is ripping them open

Love the tones in this, nicely arranged - looks yum

Ew - can't believe people eat these! Glad it wasn't my plate or there wouldn't have been 'remnants' lol :P

Lol - a "1%"-er for sure

I love the lone bike and the lone figure under the tree - good one!

Oh - really sorry to hear that We lost a foal last year to neighbours dogs so I know how gut wrenching it is

Nice - beautiful countryside

Sweet - you keep the grass and I'll keep the foal .. deal?

When the sky is so flat without any points of interest like clouds etc then the 'empty space' doesn't do much to enhance the overall image, so I'd agree with Mossy and crop just above the tree with a little 'breathing' space just above it.

Ooooh - crop circles

Agree with Friiskiwi!!

Lol @ Friiskiwi... mmm wine!!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'using the foreground as the horizon' but the horizon is definately not level

Pretty nice shooting from a moving vehicle, would have been even better had you stopped

Perhaps your monitor needs calibrating Mossy - I notice that this is often a comment you write on dark entries and other seem to be able to see the subject easily as I can with this one.

Nice work

Wicked - what a talent - he'd look great in my garden!. I think you could have left just a little more room at the top of his head.

A pity that the top is cropped off

Looks OK to me

All that chrome must be the cleaners version of Hell

Lovely rooftop - your sensor could do with a clean though

But still - credit to you for choosing the decisive moment

I wouldn't change the entry either. To me, the eye is naturally drawn to the house as it sits in a brighter patch of grass compaired to rest of the image. Our eye is naturally drawn to the bright parts of an image. To me, this looks like a great place - I could imagine exploring the hills and surounds as a kid ... sigh

There is a way to shoot through mesh fences so that the fence does not appear - I have used the method a number of times in crocodile enclosures and emus etc using shallow DOF and longer zoom - if it's OK to post links then you can check here:

Just thought it might be useful. The picture isn't the best for this example and you can use auto focus if you prefer to manual focus like the writer stated

Yes Amanda - there are chooks (chickens) on the roof near the satellite dish.

What an eccentric looking cafe - nice find

Wow - that is a very vibrant wall - I hope they don't serve hangover food

I don't agree - I like the POV. I think the angle of the table makes a nice leading line to the musician in the BG. If we turned it around to the 'normal' view - it's just an empty place setting.

Crude sign or not - I think it's clever that the sign is made out of pine...with a little pine needle tucked into the shadows of the sign. Hardly need to see the whole tree to see that it's a cypress - it kind stick out like the proverbial

I think if you cropped out the tracks right up to the path edge so that it was nearly a panorama, it would work. I, on the other hand, like the symmetry of the doors.

Love how the 'chook-pen' is seperated from the main bedroom. It is probably much cooler on the roof - would love to know a bit more about where this is.

Who'd of thought that I'd be adding a fave to a dog biscuit lol

Mine is liquid cooled too - I decided on this beacuse of our climate ... plus I am attracted to pretty flashing lights lol!

Ooops Blame the cat!

Grasshopper?

Nicely captured author

Can't believe Grimace is still around ! I would have removed the hair that's attached to his leg.

Oooh - my favourite colours. Purple & green Love the 'fluffy' bits - you can see the pollen on his wings & legs

Awesome - love the lighting!

Awesome dragon

The horizon could do with straightening

Except you can't adjust just the trees or sky as Mossy said - it has to be over the whole image. .... sorry missed that bit lol
