So, your daughter decides about... what images *you* should or shouldn't post? I must say... I have the impression that it is about time for the parents to get emancipated from their kids! ;-)
Anyway, I am glad if I said something reasonable about the image.
Cheers!
Nick

Thank you dear Nick, I was planning to put another on here, this one didnt get the approval of my sweet daughter, as you might know girls seem to see every spot everywhere:) Thank you for helping me, I am not alert all the time when to crop or not, but looks better for sure!
I am happy you keep me awake for these details, be welcome to scan me more please:)
Wishing you a great weekend, hugs Jenxx

A good one for its great details on the birds, and the somewhat humoristic attitude. The perspective was exactly right for getting a good view of the girl and the birds too. I also find that the color palette is very "dense", or let's say better consistent in its rather earthy warm tones. Only the sky bothers me a bit about composition. It seems to break the consistency of the look and feel. Crop off? (Attachment.) There is also some pixelation on the contour of the profile of the face of the girl, but in general she stands out quite well.
Good work.
Cheers!

Ahhhhhh...no I dont believe you eat this kind of soup, I must say they eat a lot of struisvogel meat in Africa and even here the steaks are on monue in restaurants...for me its still strange to see this bird meat on a plate, they are so cute! Well, Char and me dont eat much meat anyway, do you? Big warm hugs, Jen

Thank you so much my friend, I think Chars hair is great too, but whats wrong with yours, it looks thick and long as well! She just went to the coiffure to have it cut a bit, the long pony at the front are in fashion here:)) And she can have it, much better synchron face then I have:)
But you are so beautiful so no jealous feelings needed at all!! Big hugs and kisses, Jen

Really my sweet Nino, ostriches are so very expressive and good for modelling, I will show some more of these odd and funny creatures, hope you will change your mind:))) I even sold 3 of my shots of these 2 days ago, but of course everyone has its own populair animal..which is yours???
Have a joyful day, big hugs Jen

Nicki is able I think to help out her poor Joe with these hard running creatures, Its good this idea of taking a broom with me all the time, never heard this before, now Nicki and me will bring brooms wherever we go, as witches, they might fly even:)) Thanks for your great idea, genius! Hugs Jenxx

Well she is very picky on herself, and only a few shots can pass her approval:)) And she is a great model, very easy and listening well....to others, she even had a professional photoshoot already, she is now taller then I am, but then I shrunk..loll Its funny how they make these school diaries these days with there own shots in and it took ages all the right ones were in! Now she has to wait for a week to have it printed, and school has started:)) She can be her own judge, I am just a proud mom....loving her so deeply as a mom can do:)) Thanks again for your touching words, your words are of great value! Be well and enjoy your day, big hugs Jenxx

That sounds long, 3 months ago, but it must be even more wonderful to go to a warm place in our winter, I suppose you cant wait:))
Yes, it was really a struggle to get out, will show you a shot of that when I am ready for it...loll
This time it wasnt that scary although I left lots of hair, but Char was scared on her horse chased by 2 rhino's near Oudtshoorn, that really was scary for her! There was also a Buffalo standing and staring in the bushes, I was so happy nothing has happened, luckely I wasnt there, too scared myself on a horse:))))
Enjoy your day my dear, big hugs and kisses, Jenxx

Im laughing at that thought as well. Why didnt you help Nicki? hehehe. Take a broom with you and hold it up in the air. They wont attack something that is higher than them. Thats what they do here lol. Ive done it. :))))

What a beautiful foreground and a stunning "curious" background. It's a great picture as I hope that Char finally loves it too. True you can see that she thinks "no Jen not again me" her smile has some counter-force and then I would completely rely on her judgement to publish or not, price or no price. It's such a tiny difference between curiosity and simply being sharp and alerted what's going to happen. Is it OK or not OK? The natural reaction you seized here by surprise counts for individual foreground - and mass background.
Another splendid work my dear with great detail, clarity and taste for composition 7/7
Warm hugs to your foreground and the photographer,
Paul

Maybe we were even more nosy, but its quite scary to get close to them, you never know wether they will pick or kick you somehow..lolll
And they were with hundreds, so what can you do, maybe it was good to have this wire in between:)
We had the experience somwhere else that the male was very very jealous when we put attention to the feale, he started kicking and flapping to her, wich was soooo sad looking...
It must have been great and funny to see poor Joe been attacked by one of these lolll I can believe you cracking from laughter, I would have done the same:)))) Like i was all stuck in lions claws, or my hair was and Charlotte laughing her head off, not able to help me out:)))
Cloudy her too, rain even again, and I am stil pale!! When is you next holiday, wasnt that September?? Big hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Never been there. Didnt even knows it exists. The only cheetahs I know of are the ones at Soetdoring Nature reserve. about 40km outside Bloem. Is that the one or are you talking about another place?

Its was great fun to see these hundreds of ladies running towards us, there very curious, we just didnt know if they would attack us or not, they stay wild animals, isnt it:) yes we were in Bloem, to see my family, also visited the cheetah sanctury there, which is amazing! Have you ever been there? I hope your life is more quiet now, hope to see you next time! Regards Jen

They were very very curious what we were doing, it was so funny to see, all hundreds running into us, like we were selling handbags for free...lolll
I think more then one were annoyed as we didnt dare to touch or give them something, I would have loved to go inside, but they kick you, and against so many its quite scary:))
Big hugs and kiss, jenxx

You were the firt who believe dn this one, thank you so much, I wasnt sure if this was good enough, maybe a bit dark and not enough cropped! But it was so cute to see all these ostriches running into us, like real nosy and very curious ladies, although I know they can be dangerous:)
Thank you my dear, be well today, hugs Jenxx

jajaaaaaaaaa...Char was niet erg pleased dat ik deze foto erop zette maar het was zo'n mooi gezicht al die honderden struisjes aan komen zien rennen? Klinkt wel heel raar zo'n zin, maar ze wilden alles zien en voelen, nou ja, ook niet zo gek:)))
