Dutch Coal Bucket

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Solid photo, no glare spots on the bucket (very good job!) and still the lighting is good. A bit overly centered again....I like the face on the handle latch...might have been a good macro subject.

To answer your question in the Photographer's Comments...same way you fool birds, build a blind.
I used a very clumsy blind for this shot:

See the camera? (The shot was supposed to make you laugh!!)

Very pretty and colorful! Nice action in the middle. I like the tree and shrubbery framing for the boat. Try re-cropping this, taking the bottom 1/4 off (hide the excess, but pretty flowers). I like this and if I had the time to vote, I would have gone either an 8 or a 9.

Nice use of the title. The overall color could be a little more enhanced.

Awesome spidershot. Very unusual background, but it works. A little bit too bright in the top right (especially on the spider's leg) ... actually, now that I'm counting, there are only 6 legs. Either this is not a spider or you removed a few (ok, bad joke). Hope you are not getting hit too hard by the "it's a spider = 1" votes.

Anyhow, like the coloring and everything. There's not much I would change. :)

Is that a male black widow? I hope you're not laying in a hospital now because of that. Nice shot.

I like the point of view on this shot. Looks like the spider is coming right towards the viewer. Nice work.
