It will be another six months before we get the slowly unfurling ferns :¬(
This is a super photo - really crisp, with an excellent choice of depth of field to show the fern off to best advantage. I parrticularly like the way you have captured the dead, decaying leaves - the colours and textural detail are superb.

Excellent exposure, with no blown highlights. Lovely pose from the rodent - not one I have seen before - and a photographically perfect rock! Good work.

Self-Appointed Taste Tester of ... Everything

A very sympathetic and appealing portrait - even to a non dog-lover like me! The focus o the face is good, with a pleasing level of texture revealed, and the drop off in focus is spot on.

Serious cute factor here! I love the body language of the child - her trepidation is obvious! The bizarre setting - a suburban garden? - adds to the viewers curiosity - how did the cow come to be in the garden?

Texture (with a twist)

Comment:
Interesting - there is nothing, initially at least, to guide the viewer as to perspective. Am I looking from below, from above? - this all adds to the photos appeal, although at the end of the day I am more drawn to the texture of the netting than to the presence of the lizard.

I really like the idea behind this photograph, but it doesn't entirely work for me. I wonder what it would look like with a part of one of the daisies in focus? Nonetheless, I have enjoyed looking at the picture.

Makes me want to eat the sandwich (although go easy on the Tabasco for me)! Good idea, well photographed and lit. I wonder if you could afford to lose some of the negative space on the left hand side.

I get a slightly tilting feeling here - and the sloping verticals in the background would suggest that the photo would benefit from a couple of degrees clockwise. The cockerel is in clear focus, the perspective is good, and your use of a shallow depth of field was the right one, but unfortunately it still hasn't disguised an uninspiring background.

This photo has certainly broken away from the typical DPC fare. The idea is sound, but I feel the photo is just a bit too cluttered. I am not entirely convinced by the post-processing.

I really like the composition, and the spontaneity of the photo. Good work on the post- processing, too.
