I know this is back from years ago but I still want to comment. This elephant is great, the wrinkles, the detail, the pose; I agree, he looks happy. The DOF emphasizes him, and does it well. I would suggest something but I don’ t see any to make. Well Done Sister.
Composition nice too, just his head.

Sandy,
Well my first comment in a Long Time. I read all the comments below.
We both know you are a better photographer than I am but I still wanted to comment, perhaps it will help. My mom just did all kinds of things for people over the years ( yes this is related), so much that she was given the honor of being a Ky Colonel.....
BUT she was absolutely convinced she didn’t photograph well...so you had to catch her off guard or she MADE her photograph bad. Relax and shoot this beautiful woman like you do the others.
A couple things, having “known” you a few years I know 1.you take great photographs. 2. You are a sweetie!
So if you just relax, stop acting like my mom...😎😎....you will sharpen up this shoot and catch the other points as well.
I will always be a fan, let that Sweet Sandy some of us know come through.
Having said all that, I was drawn to this photo because I know that sweet woman and her great photography, and her smile! TY for putting yourself out there.

I like it, and I, having been in similar, can feel the "ugly" cold..😀

Come winter's warmth

I like this, just enough color in sky to be interesting. The far off towers or whatever are small enough to not be distracting and maybe even mystery as to where they are. Uneven lines of horizon I like too.

Nice! Singleness of focus very nice.

Get the phone line and the light on the far left out and you lose some distracting items. The sky is the focus and you don't want other factors to detract. The shilouette is nice and the door open are nice additions, and seem logical. The others do not.
Ty for letting us comment on this photo. Keep up the good work.

Simply Christmas at Henry Clay's Estate - Lexington, KY

I understand that the tree is there, and it can't be moved, but it's really bothersome to me. Did you try the shot from your right, where the tree doesn't block part of house? Otherwise I like the wet look with reflections and the lights.

An interesting use of light, with the rays playing on the water. The water being not totally smooth to me adds interest to the composition...caught my eye, nice.
