How strange that we both went for the 'eyes wide shut' baseball children

A shot that you must adore (the tongue coming out in concentration and effort is sublime)

Cool image

Innocent Beauty -- In Her Harsh Grungy World

Another fantastic portrait Sandy, my only possible 'complaint' was that this looked so perfect I had assumed that it had been set up with props in a studio

Very haunting expression on the girls face (almost a dichotomy in itself)

Great job, as ever

Ahhhh the beauty of aliteration!!!

Many congratulations on the top 20 finish and also on a lovely shot. Given that you finished where you did and I finished where I did it seems a bit odd to be making comments on how this (excellent) image might have been improved but I wonder it you had cropped the boat out whether it would have been even more impactful

Glorious colours and image

Yo-Yo, the blackbirds are in the 'hood...Although if they were really that tough then they would surely come out in the dark rather than go home!

I have to say I am a massive fan of negative space shots and this is a classic, especially since you have got so many blackbirds on the line which contrasts wonderfully

Very cool and slightly eerie

Absolutely stunning shot, I thought it would have been hard to improve on the fantastic original, but you have, but remember...

The sun never sets on Chuck Norris, he just pulls the horizon up

I can tell you that Hunter was bang on going to hide in the field...I'm 44 but still couldnt have resisted it

Lovely abstract and slightly weird shot. I like it a lot

Day 14, Freak

Just a wonderful story and I am sitting here in England laughing my head off, though I am not sure whether its more at your daughter's banner waving (ha if I saw that at the window of a car I would be sure to never cut the driver up) or the fact that you got savaged by GIZMO!!!!! Oh the shame!!!!

Also thinki its wonderful that despite your gruff exterior you love and pride in your daughter and her work just shines through here

Day14 - By that pond

The tail seems a little blown out, normally not a great thing but in this instance it really helps draw the eyes to the wonderful chocolate brown of the head thorax and wingtips

Definitely has a start of the day feel about it which is nicely accentuated by the soft tones and contrast of the conversion

I love the contrasting expressions on the faces of the two men in your life, your son has that eagerness in his eyes whilst your husband seems to be asking 'how did I get myself suckered into this'

Maybe not technically perfect but a lot more human and nicer than many photos that are
