very nice, especially the last one

fantastic stuff! One point of note - don't you need a licence to photograph Kingfishers or something? I think it's to do with 'disturbing their natural habitat', & using flash may risk breaching those rules not taking anything away from the photos, which really are great - & clearly the flash...

love the atmosphere of no.2, but the pose in no.1 is much better imo. great shots either way!

this is the exact same problem I often have - I'm so focused (excuse the pun!) on getting the shot right technically, that I forget to deal with small points of composition etc. I’m hoping that as I gain more experience, I’ll get better as the technical stuff will become second...

this is a great thread, hopefully I'll get round to posting some ideas in the next few days....

very, very tough, but will certainly get the grey cells working....

I like no.1 & no.2 a lot. No.1 would look good even without the fly; in fact it might even look better imo. no.2 is a lovely composition, in contrast to no.5, which is too messy/busy for my liking.

these look fantastic, many thanks

wordpress seems very popular among my photographer friends, & is what I'm leaning towards at the minute. I will go through your recommendations with a fine comb though, massive thanks for such great advice/info!

exactly this. I've just ordered a new desktop, I doubt if I'll even install Firefox. (actually, I probably will if I ever get round to sorting my website, as I'll need to test the compatibility etc.)

I really hope you mean take pictures of her....

I've a friend who is 9 months pregnant at the minute - she jumps if you go near her belly! I doubt even you could get her to look as comfortable as the couples above... great shots, very natural & stylish

I really like stuff like this! Photography is a phenomenally diverse artform, & it constantly amazes me how creative people are at coming up with ideas once they've taken the usual sunset/cat/flower pics

love the camera in a cornfield one - and the sunset one. fantastic stuff!

can't believe I've not seen that building before! I kinda like it,.....
