It actually looks to be in good condition considering the age, just needs putting back together.

Minx · 16 Feb 2020

Wild - great shot lovely details in the feathers
Broken - what a shame but well laid out and right on theme

FlyPhot · 17 Feb 2020

Wild - that is just sublime! the detail in the feathers is really nice and the DoF works perfectly. A lovely image.

Broken - great for the theme, nicely lit and composed.

BobBCN · 19 Feb 2020

Wild - very good compo and super sharp
Broken - spot on theme-wise & well at up

Good stuff, mate!

Shugpug · 20 Feb 2020

Nicely lit - and what a shame it's broken

DowntonMini · 20 Feb 2020

Wild - I really like that some very nice details in there and a good background too.

Broken - Very nicely laid out such a shame to see it broken.

rick448 · 20 Feb 2020

Liking the broken doll shot, similar thoughts to me, but a much older subject.

Its a shame to see it "Broken"
Its very imaginative being laid out like that, Phil and TBH it reminds me of a voodoo doll!

Stage fight by Philip Stanley, on Flickr

Fuji Dave · 25 Feb 2020

What a cracking take on theme Phil, nicely lit up and having the folk watching as these two battle also like the shadows coming from them both.

Baloo · 25 Feb 2020

Excellent shot Phil, interesting, smack on theme, well composed.

Cloudforest · 25 Feb 2020

I like the POV and the lighting works well. Good action shot and bang on theme.

HelenC · 26 Feb 2020

Nice sharp image.. for a moment I thought they were models until I noticed the audience.

CliveH · 26 Feb 2020

Nice different angle and an interesting subject, l like that you included the spectators.

BobBCN · 3 Mar 2020

Great shots throughout your thread, Phil. Enjoying it a lot.

mdpF2 · 3 Mar 2020

That's excellent, great colours and I like the way you've separated the subject from the background.

DowntonMini · 3 Mar 2020

Very nice detail lovely crisp image

vanishedbob · 3 Mar 2020

Fantastic. The frost detail especially.

Winter is an excellent image. The detail in there is fantastic and it is lit to perfection.

-Oy- · 4 Mar 2020

Nice shot of the frosty whateveritis!

LC2 · 4 Mar 2020

Very nicely done. just enough background visible in the blacks to ground the subject and prevent it being 'floaty'

brrnd · 5 Mar 2020

Very nicely done shot of the frosty flowers, nothing to criticise!

Fuji Dave · 6 Mar 2020

Just enough of the stem to stop this great winter bud from the floaty look, crisp clear and bang on theme.

Minx · 7 Mar 2020

Ability - I liike the Pov giving a nice clear shot of the combatants.
Winter - nice bit of frost and Good Dof I like it.
