Lovely colours - IMO the sun should have been more towards the left, to balance with the structure bottom right.

Joggie, ek huiwer om te vra, maar wie nie waag nie ... Was hierdie week by 'n kursus vir die D200, het baie geleer, maar vind die hele fokus-en-exposure-kombinasie taamlik oorweldigend - sou jy bereid wees om my te kontak by ljnel@thepub.co.za - as jy nie kans sien vir ekstra vrae en dommighede nie, sal ek verstaan - dis net asof ek elke keer so 'n hele rits foto's moet neem om enetjie te kry wat ek darem so min of meer aanvaarbaar vind, en dan weet ek ook nie regtig hoe dit so gekom het nie. Ek het my naam by The Photographer's School opgegee vir 'n volledige daglange kursus, maar hulle is nie alte hoopvol dat daar binnekort genoeg belangstelling sal wees vir 'n kursus in Durban nie. Ek weet dis nie jou probleem nie, maar soos ek sę, die hoop beskaam nie...?

Amazing little creatures - great exposure - well done for including the colours of the fruit - think you could have cropped the wrist away, and eliminated the top right shadow in the process - charming image nevertheless.

Silly or not - your photograph is striking, Sarel. I notice a difference in colour toning between this one and "The Meeting" - I prefer the tones of the latter, but the humour in both is spot-on.

The golden and blue-grey colours are just beautiful, Hilton - but it bothers me that the duck seems blurred - I also use this lens and have not figured it out at all, in fact, I battle to get the shutter speed / aperture ratio right - so please bear with me - what if you had chosen a faster shutter speed to eliminate the blurry effect from the duck itself - a running duck, doesn't leave one with much time to make these decisions...! I take it that you shot in manual mode?

That's why I believe photography is not for sissies, Sarel - one has to be so very quick, it's frightening! Well done for catching her before she ran off - those ears just tell the whole story: she did not trust you one little bit - lovely reflection in the eye.

Nitpick is fine by me, Todd - that's why I've been virtually pleading for reaction to this image. Looking at your portfolio, it is quite obvious that you know what you're talking about - thank you very much indeed - your critique has helped a lot - I love the effect of the crop.
As far as the eyes are concerned - as I mention in my intro, I realize that eyes are essential, (for instance your own "She's so sweet" doesn't really show the eyes either) - I thought it might be allowed under certain circumstances, but I understand what you are getting at - appreciate your input tremendously.

Lovely image, Janosi - great colour contrast, beautifully clear - I like the way you cropped away part of the poppy bud - IMO you should have cloned out the rectangular-looking light effect above the bud: it is somewhat distracting. Otherwise - well done!
