Thank you all for taking the time to comment, much appreciated.

Pierre, Ken, Jason, thank you for your encouraging comments.  This picture was taken on farmland in a triangle between Middleburg, Marshall and Upperville in Northern Va.

Love the energy in the picture of this attractive family, and the easy tethering of the little boy is priceless.

Well seen, great capture!

Photograph taken following the 36 inches plus of snow that fell over

30 hours last week in Virginia. Would appreciate your comments.

Haitian street photography; well spotted and captured!

Well captured; maybe the picture needs straightening, but it gives a good feeling of being nearby in a boat!

Love the iridescent colour of his head, the fine detail of the small feathers on his body and the movement in the tips of his wings.  Great capture.

Excellent in all respects; love it.

I like this very much; a timeless scene from any English south (?) coast beach; Dad in his cap, Mum with her handbag all beautifully backlit.  I find the sun distracting though.

My greatest criticism of the rating process is that few people explain their reasons for the ratings they submit.  I would really like to know what I am missing in this picture which to me is a very average night cityscape.  I see no artistic merit in the sloping buildings and camera blur, although I like the movement in the bus.

When I saw the thumbnail, my mind went immediately to Bolivia; this place is on my bucket list!  Very nice saturation and interesting detail.

A lovely composition with excellent detail  and rich color.

Excellent; power and beauty well captured.

Excellent geometric abstract work, well done.

Well done; You have justifiably netted some top ratings with this super shot!

I did wonder what he was doing out there!  Thanks for the close up, he now looks as though he is in a canoe! :)

Excellent detail and conversion; he obviously didn't take the parcel into consideration when he attempted a tight turn!
