Great idea Stan
Indigenous
It all works great. A proud nation.
Giid thinking. The bottle really adds something!
Great idea for the theme Stan.
Up close
Lots of detail and sharp in the right places
Personal
Was the out of focus area created on purpose, it's definitely add to the overall image.
Green
Lots of variation in the colour with shades throughout the image.
Snapper's Choice
Did you try different shutter speeds or were you successful with the first attempt. The horizon looks every so slightly leaning to the left, with my eyes anyway.
Looking down
A great album shot and something a bit different, I'm wondering what she is thinking.

According to a Google search, your grandson is left handed, the image made me wonder what side the Sgian Dubh should be and the general consensus is on your dominate hand side.
Plant
The green of the plant stand out well against the browns of the background. Nice light and vignetting.
It maybe gets a little too dark at the top for my taste, but I love the way the plant stands against the browns.
The shadows make for a very atmospheric image. You can almost feel the coolness of the shade.
I think plant is a wonderful image, the natural vignette frames the sapling perfectly and the colour combinations are really nice. fantastic image.
I couldn't recall what you shot with, but on first glance at the shot I felt that had to be Fuji
The plant pops well against the background.
Communication tower for me looks very imposing
I think I slightly prefer the comms tower too.
I think because it's a cleaner shot with less distractions. (Maybe)
I do like a church, but I prefer the comms tower for the theme - looks almost evil, perhaps due to its starkness in B&W (no doubt some would say it is but that's for another type of forum ) Both great shots though
I like that.
I like the confidence to not necessarily show the whole plane.
And in this instance I think the HDR adds a little drama to the sky - although it’s hard to say how it compares to the original.
^^^^ What Pete said. Cool shot and an angle I've done that works well for a static display!
Fair play, that's exquisite! Fabulous detail
Snappers choice
I also like the pov you've gone for. The hdr looks pretty good, not over doing it.
Love the spitfire Stan and the composition you have chosen. The HDR really does seem to add drama too.
