Freedom of the run

It's a grand picture of a grand guy having a nice run, but that halo around the legs? Hmmm, maybe that's making him jump so high! (Joking, of course)
good capture, just a little technical flaw there.

Wood End Light

Comment:
Oh, this could be a splendid image. Good lighting good definition. Composition is the culprit here (IMO, of course) If you deleted the coastline on the left - and started with the lighthouse, lead towards the building and then the more interesting coastline to the right, and maybe remove some of that not very interesting sky, and some of the water, this could be a strong, fine picture. It would still show the isolation that is so important here and draw attention to the fine architecture and lighting.

Okay, sorry to write a 'book' but this image intrigued me. I hope this is helpful to you.

But, do what they tell you and get well quickly, please.

Almost half of my shots these days are finishing below the 40% mark. And I think they DO meet the challenge. Given that, and the fact I've been here over 7 1/2 years, is it time to call it a day and give up this challenge stuff? I'm obviously not gonna get any better at this point.

Ah, Deb, but you do want to maintain your level, don't you?
Besides, we would miss seeing pictures like this one.
