Do you spend every night wandering around the streets of your home town???? Well it pays off, great compostion and angle. A feast for the eyes, well done. Best regards, Hugh Price.

I can't see the "trite", it works for me, reminds me of Greece and my travels there. Best regards, Hugh Price.

I'd go with Mary on this one, still, you got off to a good start. Well done. Best regards, Hugh Price.

Yeah, me too!!!!

Good shot, I love the right hand side, it looks like some kind of ghostly apparition covering the cliff. Well done. Best regards, Hugh Price.

Oops, sorry, I didn't mean it that my image should appear on the critiques, it was just meant to be a link.....how the hell did that happen....can anyone enlighten me?

 

Great shot, I saw this very bee the other day, but I couldn't get it as good as you...I didn't have my macro with me. Even if I did I still wouldn't have got it this good. Well done. Best regards, Hugh Price.

This has some 3D elements to it, I like the way you disregard the norm. Great stuff Christopher, there isn't one shot in your portfolio that I don't like. Best regards, Hugh Price

This has an ethereal feel to it, does the title mean Light Of The Moon? It certainly looks like it. I'd love to know the specifics of the shot, like how long was the exposure, ISO etc, etc. Well done, best regards, Hugh Price.

Thank you all. Your comments are very helpful, I see that the decision is fairly well split, maybe erring slightly towards this version. For me it is just a matter of how best to get across the sweetness of our very short summer here in the UK. It is so strange, it feels like we have only just begun our summer, but in under 2 weeks time it will be the summer solstice, meaning our longest day, so from that day on we will head into winter again. More rain, more grey dim dank light, cold and windy......hell, I'm off to the tropics. Some kind of continuity would be great. Any way, thanks again for all your opinions. Best regards, Hugh Price

Thank you all, but I feel it is still inconclusive. I am leaning towards this one, just for it's structural strength. But if I think of it in terms of the title I gave it, then it should really be the colour version, basically because here in the UK summer is all about life and colour and the vigour of nature that lasts just a few short months. Summer's Brief Veil!!!

Colour, or B&W.......which do you prefer? Thanks for looking. %^)

Thank you very much everybody.

Great compositional shot, the wide angle is doing weird things with the buildings. It is not a problem for me as I think the main focus and interest is the fantastic tree. I like it a lot, well done. Best regards, Hugh Price.

This is my three year old son greeting a wild mare that we have

befriended over the last 6 monthes, her foal is just out of shot.

6 & 6 anonymously rated, can't change that now, but I came back for another look and thought I'd comment too. I love the structure and composition, so abstract. Great DOF, very sharp, and so textural. Well done all round. Best regards, Hugh Price.

Great shot, the poor old tree looks like it's suffering, great clarity and movement. I really like it. Well done, Hugh Price.

Hi Fly,

 

This is outstanding and mesmerising. It reminds me in a small way of the drawings of Albert Durer....impossible perspective!

 

Well done,

 

Best regards

 

Hugh Price.

I like it a lot, BUT how about bringing in the focus a bit and working those stunning shapes. Best regards, Hugh Price.

`this is my little boy greeting a New Forest pony, basically a wild

horse. Thanks for looking. %^)

Very quirky, it has a real air of mystery. Like the old film noires, a bit grainy and unfocused, but carrying some weight to the ambiguity. Best regards, Hugh Price.
