Comment:
Not sure which is Icarus - the jet or the bird, but this is one sumptuous photo for all that it is basically patterns of light.

Simple wonder, but brilliant.

Rainy Days and Mondays...

Like this picture just as it is. You could of course just crop the excellently lighted portrait and have a "perfect" picture, but I like the contrast with the paintinglike outside, though I tend to like things the camera does without too much control. In any case, this certainly shows off your Nikon and what you can do with it. (Suspect it would have scored much higher in some other challenge).

Nice egret, but only one of its magnificent wings seems to be shot contre-jour.

Swan

Wonderful light stars on water ripples. Would have worked better IMO if upper third and right quarter had been cropped out - sacrificing the light on the cattails or whatever they are.

Full Moon on Red Wall

Comment:
Excellent composition, balance of elements, shapes and colours. As an abstract it probably would have rated higher than as a red. Good eye. T

Too little to focus on.
