7 - Very nice image. Wish it were more about the tree, but then that good 'just' road element wouldn't be there..

8 - Ha, gives a good sense of scale. With your title (and I do get it) - 'if only' I could see him barking.

8 - Beautiful tree, love the contrast against the different trees in the background. Tones work well. Like your composition, interesting image - almost looks like an 'overlay' - a lot to see.

Really like the colors and capture of the mighty ocean churning out this magnificent wave. Especially like the spray and 'mash'.

Haha, I'm not a 'troll' nor a 'rb', maybe a 'kook' (you're probably one too to get out there like you do) and, I was at least honest with my comment, too. I admire that you were out there in the water, I certainly would love to take an image inside a wave, alas not 'equipped' (yet). I like the natural colors and patterns in the water and the 'gap' and land beyond - I just wished it was more refined, as the viewer - but it is your 'image' - you do what you want. You have some good shots in your portfolio too... Mr Backlash.

Welcome, glad you agree. Good thing I came back to check on this image (they have to implement a 'reply' system).

Here Comes the Rain

I gave this a 7. Liked the unique capture with the falling rain in the background. Especially liked the clarity and detail in the 'snout' and the eye.

Mukwa

I gave this a 7. Thought it was a very nice portrait of Mukwa. I even went to the extent during voting to try to translate Mukwa, closest I got was 'Bear'. Nice character capture of him. On reading your notes... well, this image is a priceless gift now for your sister.
