Hi Lawrence. Ah another E-20 user :-)

When I first saw this image I was amazed at how deep blue the sky is and I wondered if you used a polarizer on your camera for this shot. The perspective is awesome and adds to the photo. The tree depicted as a silohuette is also amazing. The building in my opinion could have been left out as it is competing too much with the tree, also it subtracts a little from the "weather" aspect.

All in all a decent shot, but lacking on the "wow" effect.

Wonderful. Loe this shot, especially with the highlights on the cattails. This photo calls for the foreground to be in focus and the background out.

This is an early morning shot right? The lighting is good. The way you've composed this is interesting, you have done it well. You've got a very good eye. Choice!

I think this picture would've fit better in landscae orientation. The stuff at the bottom is a little too extra for this photo. The top is much more effective.

This give me the sensation of seeing dead rabbits mounted on sticks. Sorry! The reeds in the foreground are great. The background with the barn and landscape is nice and atmospheric, although it seemed almost part of a different image. It's those dead rabbits that get me. This picture makes me wonder that you were unsure what part of the image to emphasize because there were so many elements that were of interest. 6 Journey

Really nice shot was wondering since it's hair is backlit I'm guessing you used a reflector rather than fill flash. Like the way the hair also adds depth to the shot and helps isolate the llama from the background. I may have burnt in the sky area bit but really nice job

The shallow DOF really highlights your main subject here. The lighting is excellent. Early morning or late afternoon?
