Nice shots with great DOF.

First would be better if you cloned or cropped the fence on the left side

Your right about the fence, I actually had the altered version (cropped out) on my other server but since I changed ISP I must not of saved it
Thanks for commenting

Looking good, but maybe a border would help to finish them off?

Frame - shame, Border - shmorder. Whats goin on?? Don't know a thing about the photographer but to me - the pics are shrp, the subject distinctly seperated from the surroundings and the timing (although at a canter) is spot on. So whats with the frame stuff. They are excellent photographs. Fence - Shmence!

Despite what Sharkey says ..... I would agree that they would stand out more if a suitable border was added to separate it from the background.

Stand out from what?? The point of framing is to position the image in its surroundings. Heavy guilt+triple mount=top lighting - all in a minmalliist white three glass walled Greek hillside. Doesn't sound right does it??
Crop for balance, fordirection of view, to promote an idea etcc, and mount ot present in its best light. These pictures are on the web, on pale grey/blue (my display) Their colour, energy and simplicity are enough to make them jump from the plane. Why muck about with them??Leave it until you hang them - differant time and place. Thats all folks!
