Thanks for all the advice and the link to the tutorial. Managed to get rid of the tree in photoshop and the photo is much improved. Good to know that if there really is no way to get something out of a composition before taking the photo it is not too hard to do a reasonable job in photoshop...

Thanks all, I am sure there will be many more photos I will ask for your critique on soon! In fact I am taking the camera rock climbing tonight so maye well have some tomorrow if there are any I am remotely happy with. Can I ask a really beginnery question? When you do things like removing...

Thanks for the feedback Craig, I really appreciate you taking the time to show the examples. "Tree antlers" will definitely be something I make sure to check in compositions going forward. My PP skills are somewhat lacking at the moment but the lady in the photo happens to be a bit of a whiz at...

Thanks Doug, much appreciated. The shot was taken in RAW but i think the highlights are still too far gone to recover them. Need to get a lot more practice to notice things like the tree and do something about it before I get back to the computer. Would have struggled moving for this shot...

Hi All I am an absolute beginner and am trying to teach myself how to improve my photography, mainly from the internet. I would really appreciate any feedback on this image to help me learn where I need to improve most and where I am on the right track. The photo was taken as a memory of a...

Cheers for all the advice, it is probably quite soft as the weather was horrid and I was shooting handheld in the strong wind, and I am very much a novice. Will give some of the suggestions a go :) I like the HDR shot, presumed you needed to have 2 pics with different exposures to do the...

Hi guys and gals I am pretty embarassed to post this to be honest, I am veyr new to photography and only just starting ot think about composition and things properly. Following a lovely walk in the Brecon's I looked over the photos and like this one. Can I please have some advice on...

Stoat?

Completely agree Gaz, and a lot of those species are in fact hevaily controlled in areas where they cause the most damage, grey squirrels and muntjac immediately spring to mind there. Muntjac in particular are managed by a lot of shooters as I believe they do not have seasons the same as most...

Trapping and culling is humane. Unless you mean we should trap and them keep them as pets or in a zoo or similar?! Mink NEED to be culled or they decimate the ecosystems they find themselves in. I agree it is our (humans not mine personally) fault they are there in the first place but surely...

You should do Paul? According to the latest report I read the only county now lacking otters completely is Kent but they may have even changed by now.

Presume that was the town stretch through Bakewell then? If you would like some more "natural" habitat you can cross the road and look in Scotts garden. The river is much nicer there and the fish act much more naturally. In the town they seem to be constantly moving on the lookout for bread...

Like that a lot, taken on the Wye?? Not to many rivers with rainbows in them. Lovely shot of a sight that always sends shivers down my spine (and makes my rod hand itch). Dan

Great set, may have to take a trip up North and try and shoot some for myself! I really like th epose in 3, lovely that the foal matches the mare so beautifully. Nothing wretched about rugs Tina, not all ponies are lucky enough to have such brilliant coats, even before clipping. Dan

that first shot is incredible! Are they really that colour? It is a beautiful animal.
