Wildlife, an old cross & a new, oak cross, made by me for the memorial for an old friend.

All pretty sound in different ways, but the penultimate one shows genuine class. I wish I'd taken it!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Yes it's number four for me too!

The rest are sharp, clear and good, but number four just draws the eye into the frame.

Number 4 is my favourite too, nice textures and nice frame. 5 is pretty good too I like the ladybird but perhaps a bit too much OOF stuff in front of it. The cross is nice and sharp (nice woodwork too!). The only exception IMHO is (pardon me) the first shot, where I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at, and nothing seems to be in focus.

Same again for me Roger - pretty sharp woodwork also. A wooden memorial cross is not something you'd see here - the sun would destroy it inside of a year or two (that's if the termites didn't get to the timber first).

Forget the photography. The simplisity, the quality and the workmanship of that oak cross is simply stunning. It will look even better when it has weathered. I can spent a lot of time just looking at it and marveling at its concept and workmanship. It has made my day. Thank you.

An interesting set and others have pretty much said it all. I love the fourth one, as do others, partly for the unusual composition and framing. As much as I hate the phrase, "well seen" sums it up nicely!

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
