Love your Bizarre shot Steve. Much prefer the colour version - I keep expecting to see elves and goblins popping their heads out from behind the trees

Hi Carl,Hi Steve. You know the bit I like most is the write-up - the story behind the image as it were. I never even thought to associate Broken with the woods but you are spot-on with the interpretation. (This is the nearest I've got to fresh air all day ha ha).
Hi Chris.... Thanks for looking in!The fallen tree is a little lost in the frame for my eyes, maybe a tighter crop might work. A good original interpretation of the theme
I know the feeling Steve, to be fair I've not posted a huge amount up until this week so there wouldn't have much to see
Yeah Andy, that'll teach me, moral is if your not happy with your shot don't post it Looks like that ones on the re shoot list thenYeah, it is a bit lost. Perhaps closer with a wider angle??
You've caught some nice warm and soft light there.
Cheers.
Hmmmmm ............
Ha Ha Ha I guess it wasn't so very long ago we all used to sit down at the table was it, seems a thing of the past now. We always do when we have visitors, its bad really and a bit sloppy I guess but I think its a sign of the times to some extent. When I lived at home we all sat round the table but then my Father worked locally and more often than not was home for 5.30. Now driving home from London every day I rarely get home before 6.45. Bloody Rat Race its got a lot to answer for! Note to self must start eating at the table..... Makes me feel sloppy even admitting to not doing so!!Hi, just a normal dinner time in my house nicely spotted and very grand
Hi Carl, yes was slow shutter was surprised how well it came out considering! Must have been having a steady hand dayVery nice Steve. Great for a hand-held slow shutter.
Hi Steve,
I went to Mottisfont with my daughter a few years ago, it's a lovely house , and this is a lovely choice for entertain
Hi David your actually spot on there! In that area there were lots of interfering things not that I'm making excuses for my ineptitude . As it was had to clone out some signs and notices that were placed on the chairs.It's amazing how, when on the 52's, you learn to look more closely at what you're photographing ... I reckon if you'd lowered your camera a smidge and levelled her up a smidge then you'd have gotten straight lines. We all fail to do it from time to time.
Hi there Summer How you doing? Yes it was a handy opportunity but in desperate need to catch up, life and work has been getting in the way. All the tight cropping was down to other bits and bobs in the room, but I'm gonna revisit it.brilliant interpretation for entertain great shot too although a bit tightly cropped
Hi Andy!"this is from my 2016 Spring collection"
Like it, nice funky interpretation, with good, dramatic lighting.
Silhouette, it doesn't scream silhouette to me, but the tree line is in silhouette. Lovely scene, though.
Cheers.
Well, if this is a bona fide silhouette then that's just fine by me.
This pic is stunningly heart-warming ... but, 3 images blended! don't know how you did that, and don't think I need to know right now.
Just spying on your previous work, I've fallen in love with this image [emoji7] I can't wait to be able to do something like this. It's beautiful [emoji106]Silhouette
Was out the other day after not feeling so clever and dragged myself up to a field near my Sons house. It was a lovely sight to see all the poppy's out, unfortunately not like some of these huge great fields you see full of them, but a rather modest affair. So as you can see I was up there in the late evening alone watching the sun set. It was quite a moving, I could almost feel the hairs on the back of my neck tingling. I don't know, there's just something about Poppy's that makes you think!
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.

This was a blend of 3 images, One for the sky (Damn where my Lee filter holder, in the other bag). One to remove a circle of flare, and the other, the main image.
Hi Laura, Thanks for the kind words! I'm sure you will be able to shoot images like this no problem. Its just a matter of finding a location and shooting in the right light either early morning or late evening, the golden hours! TBH there isn't much of a focal point here but I really loved the scene. I visited the place almost every evening and some evenings I didn't even take the camera out of the bag! However I have a few more that feature the sunset, but haven't got round to processing them yet. They will probably end up on the Landscape section of the forum when I get my finger out.Just spying on your previous work, I've fallen in love with this image [emoji7] I can't wait to be able to do something like this.

Animal; he's sure doesn't look too well. I feel the crop is too tight at the left and too much empty space the other side.
Medical; what a beautiful image. Well balance exposure, good sharpness from foreground to as far as you eye can take you and leading lines throw in for good measure.
Hi Carl, watch this space! The little begger was hopping around and wasn't the easiest subject, but it presented itself just when I was groping around to fulfil the Animal theme!Hi Steve. Animal: Like it but as Stan says, a little tight on the crop
Animal - brilliant good shot, people are saying the crops too tight but I didn't notice until I read that. It's ok for me
Medical - really really like this it's so tranquil and utterly beautiful [emoji106]
