An American muscle car is pretty much out of place in the UK. I like this. Nice tones and detail.

I like the leading angles here, and the texture of the cobblestones. A nice contrasty b/w. Looks like she spotted you taking her picture.

I looked at this one after noticing your outtake. This is definitely the best of the bunch. I love watching these and Egrets.

No vote from me, since I know whose this is. If I were voting on this however, I think I would give it a 6, maybe a 7. I like the colors, leading composition, and the appearance of the reflection. I think some may not care for the strong, obvious HDR look, and most of your low votes will probably be coming from that aspect of the shot. I expect this to do reasonably well, however. Glad you chose to enter this one.

Not well camouflaged at this time of year, is he?

I like this, though I am not sure how others will take it. I hate to use the term "interesting" because that is, to me, the kiss of death when someone says that. However, it IS interesting.

Wonderful scene. I think you have some of that hard overhead midday sun working against it, though.

Nice use of the breaking light. I've tried similar but never quite achieved this wonderful look. Almost looks like a sci-fi special effect.

OOh, now this is a neat perspective. I really have to look at it so figure out what I am seeing and from what angle. Extra Cheeto's for creativity.

Nice strong colors, and the backlit leaf works. I like what backlighting does with leaves.
