Don't they do better when you plant them in the Spring time? :-)
You may want to thin them out a bit or you may end up with a forest.

The Force Be With You

This is the third time I have looked at this image, the thumbnail gets my attention with the blue bag. Then I see thge full size image I get lost in all the details, maybe a tighter crop and a slightly different angle to just focus on the child and the word 'SCHOOL' and a bit of the front door handle. Still one of my top ten picks this week.

I think you are going to take a knocking on this image because of the busy background distracting from the subject. In my opinion you have captured this fawn in its natural setting with good technical skill and composition. One of my top ten picks this week.

Tel me that this was taken in manual mode and I will give you "Highest Technical Honors". The only thing I can find that in my opinion could be improved is framing/croping of the port to show just a sliver more to the right so that the full rim is in frame. My ten this week.

Lucy's Doghouse

In doggy years I imagine this house is verry old. Composition, focus and exposure are all good. Choice of monotone with the greenish-grey cast is good for the something old challenge. Will a famos art collector buy a print and hang it on his galllery wall? Probablu not in your or my lifetimes but still a high score in my book.

The Tipton Place

I realy like the greens and browns of this picture. I am not all that comfortable with the composition, in my opinion the main porch should be facing onto the picture and that would place the striking wood siding on the right third for a more pleasing composition.

Does this bring back memories if my childhood. Sit'n round the phonograph player listnen to records. Excllent composition and lighting angle to highlight the groves in the vinyl. My ten pick this week.

I like the pealing paint and the monochrome treatment of this image. Was this picture taken on an overcast day? I think the harsh lighting of direct sun would have realy brought out the texture of the weathered wood.
