How can this not be a winner? Disappointed in your ability to judge soundly there..but not in your photographic work. Great Great shot.

Fence

Of course I recognise this scene and must admit it's not nice seeing this and knwowing Im on Pretoria when there are places like this to be enjoyed. I know you have a tripod so can only assume it was on purpose that you intentionally wanted the fence to be out of focus? This is the only part of the scene that breaks it down a bit. The fence is the most important part of this pic (as this is wheer the story begins comp wise)which leads my eye into the scene to the left. I feel this should have been in focus. The ridge line then takes my eye to the right. The monotony of this line is broken by the trees which works great. End up in the farm lands below where one can only naturally flow into the Layering mountains achieved here with the some nice light from the front. In Autumn this exact same scene would work even better with the orange yellow leaves of the trees that would be reflecting light and kick some life into the foreground the same way the grass is doing currently. Love this.

En dalk sal Bees nou se ek gee punte vir my maaitjie maar hy is verkeerd. Ek doen nie "flattery" nie but except for the out of focus fence (which is also Im sure a matter of taste) I absolutely love this scene. 8
Groete aan Bees en Patrys

Simple, clean and love the hint of green in it with the complementing background - flat and featurelace which is needed for this flower. Like this 8

I love this image for the the eyes that speaks. What helps this tremendously is the lines in the comp. You have the oval tilted head to the left and inside the oval the subtle triangle formed by the hairline and material covering her face. You have to go back to her eyes after tracing these lines...yet the frames goes down further below where there is more to be seen and for my taste, thats where I lose interest a bit. Although the darker shaded areas in the material helps to form other lines of interest it needs to be a bit tighter from bottom up. Im not sure about the processing on the nose or is it lighting

One other thing that has me wondering is the material covering her mouth and I dont know if it's my imagination but I can make out some teeth behind it through the holes. This looks odd. I could be wrong on this?

Processing in general is great and could not have done better myself. After having nit picked your image...I hope you will forgive me for overanalising an already great photo 7

Well seen, presented and could not be better. 9 A human figure in this would just be another angle on this but stunning as is.

After the Fire, a new Day

Baie geluk Amanda op 'n goeie plek hier. Ek is nou al sommer verlief op Patrys en hy is my gunsteling karakter hier op DPC.

A picture that really shows the aftermath of this fire and although I was there much later...It's really sad to see the damages this has done. The Dog's colours blends well with the scene and the smoke with rising sun carries the message and mood even further.
