The processing did a lot for this shot. It grabs your attention in the finished image.

This seems to have that soft glow that so many of your evening and low light shots have. The sky seems right for the scene too.

Prickly Pear

We have prickly pear here in Florida too. They seem to grow best where the soil is sandy and too dry for anything else. The low angle to get the sky behind the cacti helps to isolate the subject in this shot. Their blooms are very pretty too, but this one is past that stage. The local Latinos
eat the flat "leaves". One of the places that I work was working on a thorn-less variety to try to market.
The biggest and thorniest ones that I have ever seen were on an isolated island in the Bahamas.

Composition is good in this because of your POV and the clouds completing the horizontal lines theme. That works nicely with the pan and keeps the flow going from one edge to the other. I like the color contrasts as well.

This is sort of a long shot for the 55mm, but including the setting actually makes the photo better. The fence would be a distraction if you had used a long lens to isolate just the deer. This way it's just part of the scenery. Love the big tree above the deer in this shot.

I like that you shot with enough of the urban landscape to give this a setting for reference. Here, that raised hand would be a signal for a right turn, or maybe the biker saying "Don't take my picture : P "
It's an interesting shot, sort of a story with no beginning or ending.

That is a pleasing view to have. The sky is nice for an English sky too. I see that you shot using the f16 and sunny day rule, iso 100, shutter 1/100.

Backyard Aspens - June 2009 Where I Live

Nice impression sort of shot. Aspen are camera magnets with their light trunks and wonderful yellow leaves.

You have made a good image out of an ordinary shapshot. That's a healthy looking kitty.

What an "artsy" looking place. The blackground brings out the best in the geometric shapes in the rest of the image. Cool find, and excellent image of it. It's almost like a painting of a place in someone's imagination.
