Harvest Time

There is something delightful about a vine laden with full ripe grapes. It makes me think happy thoughts of the wine it's going to be :- )

I like the composition going on here with the angle of the branch forming a diagonal across the frame, and the use of DoF.

The only issue for me is not the quality of the shot - but the quality of the subject. Some of the grapes look past their best, and so do some of the leaves. If you could have taken some full fresh ripe fruits it would have just finished this nicely.

Such incredible beasts.

A nice crop which really helps accentuate the sheer size and bulk of these animals. I think the B&W helps bring out the skin texture.

The only thing that I would really have liked to see is a bit more definition (or maybe a catch light) in the elephants eye.

Sweet shot of a family relaxing.

I must admit I can spend hours at a duck pond myself feeding the wildlife :- )

There's a couple of little details here that could help improve the shot, one is to widen the crop slightly to include the ladies shoulder, and the other is to rotate the picture slightly, it looks to me like the lines all lean down to the left. otherwise very relaxing.

A nice clean crisp example of this type of skyline shot.

Good focus, good colours, and nicely cropped. Something like a slice of moon might have just finished this for me - but hey if it wasn't there, it wasn't there :- )

Nice shot.

Wonderful character !!

I love the amazing textures on the face, the beautiful delicate shawl, contrasted against what seems to be a sensible roll-neck underneath it :- )

This might also look interesting in B&W ?

Forklift Graveyard

Fascinating shot, and not that dissimilar in theme to a mechanical elephants graveyard as these squat solid things sit here with their two tusks out front, waiting for the poachers to come and strip them of their valuables.

Nice B&W, perhaps a little grainy.

Cool shot.
