Good framing and nice detail on the extended wings. The bird also appears to be engaging me. Pity that large parts of it are obscured by the branches. Not an image killer but it's something I look for when shooting birds...get them as unobstructed as possible, if I can, otherwise I don't shoot and wait for a better chance or go home. I think it's OE by at least a stop and this washed out the overall colour and contrast. For this reason, without some PP which NG frown upon, I doubt it would be published, sorry!

I like the honesty of this. The weathered hair and skin suggests that she's no stranger to the sun. Yet it's still a very glamorous and flattering portrait.

This shot reminds me of a still from an anti-smoking campaign. Must be the skin.

Really cool underwater shot. Love her wide open eyes looking straight into the camera and her lovely smile. 10
