Hanging Out

The lady bird looks like an item of jewellery. The guilding is perfectly clear and the tiny reflections of light in the legs and underbody add just the right touch of detail. The composition is very unusual and the shallow DOF changes this from the more standard macro image to a much more artistic one. Very nice shallow DOF and particularly love the gradiated colours of the background. 9

Rain Drop

I'm a sucker for textures and I particularly like the contrast between the rigid, repetitive feather and the worn and faded surface beneath. The composition, with the two sweeping lines of feather quill and edge, is punctuated perfectly by the water droplet. Yellow is also one of my favourite colours. Altogether a beautiful shot. 9

Beautiful image with lovely use of leaves both as background and toy! Lovely expression of happiness and nice catchlight in the eye. A lovely portrait. 7

In a straight line

Wonderful candid showing the sweet individuality of children.
If only the roof at the left didn't break the symmetry of the building backdrop! I'd almost be tempted to crop the top floor out and present this a panoramic.

I remember this and I do think it's a wonderful juxtaposition of real man and keys with fantasy car and giant sexy lady. If the image were taken a split second earlier or later to show a touch more of the man's face it would be an even stronger image for me and I think it's great already. 8

Van Gogh Sky

Wonderful use of photography to create abstract art. I really can see Van Gogh's influence in this; the colours, strokes and curves all support that. 8

A sunset that gives me more to look at than just a pretty sky! Wonderful use of foreground rocks to provide composition. Your positioning, which makes the rays almost emanate from the rocks, is excellent. The horizontal line of orange reflection near the shore is also lovely.

This is a wonderful capture of a great moment and from that perspective, as a wildlife addict, I find it both charming and fascinating. Photographically I think the impact is marred by the gazelles just behind which muddy the lines a little too much. I appreciate fully that, one a safari holiday, one doesn't often have the luxury that wildlife photographers have of moving to a better position.

Sweet Slumber

What a lovely close up. When I view it I'm seeing some strange lines between colour tones, almost like a print with water spilled on it. I don't know it's a compression artifact or something else. Otherwise, a lovely image with interesting DOF.

Goodness, I really differ from the average voter on this one, don't I? I think this image ROCKS!
