Hi Georgina,
Short - This shot is my pick of your catch up. It's simple yet on theme. The choice of hte colour of the pegs compliments the blues and greens. The shorts are the obvious large subject in the frame and there's a nice bit of background blur.
Forked - On theme. This is a hard one to make compelling. The leading lines don't have a pay-off, though there is a large tree on the apex of the fork, so there is something there.
Refuse/d - I struggled to make out what this was? It looked like some sort of Hessian and put me in mind of a medieval scene.
I wouldn't have guessed it was an orang-utan, but I can see it now.
Dark - Yup, guessed this was about the clouds. I'm not big on landscapes, so not really my place to comment, but I wonder if cropping in, for that 'less is more' feel might work? Dunno.
Pull - Interesting to have the bell pull outside the building. Nice crisp shot letting you read the plaque on the wall.
Oooh, Splash - As this wasn't in the catch-up post, I didn't realise it was yours initially.
Wow, just Wow. A fantastic shot, this grabs the crown from the shorts.
I hope you're printing this and hanging it on your wall somewhere.
