No 3 is superb, I'm undecided whether or not cutting out the left window makes it better? I might add some light into the "candles" as well.

The shot on the road is pretty good as well! It looks as if your daughter might be serious competition.
Best regards, John

I agree with John. The window scene is just great.

I thought the same - however just covering it up on-screen the shot loses the balance it has at present - personally I would keep it. But I think JR's idea for the candles is spot on !

I love no.3, Bret. A really top quality shot. Very well executed.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Agree with everyone, third one is great!

The car in the 2nd looks like your avatar? Did you make your daughter walk while you drove?

Nope, she got to stand still with a tripod (and set the shot up herself!) while I drove off to turn around and come back. She's done this before but finds video 'cooler'

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to submit 3 to PPG....

Number 3 for me as well

Perhaps you should have a caption competition about the cats thoughts

I'm reckoning the cat is thinking somehting alonmg the lines of 'cold fool outside'

Number three is a lovely image and cute! Nice one.

Sorry, I had to have another shot at the cat comment,

How about 'I see cold people'

Ok I will stop now honest

The shot is very well taken and spotted in the first place - I keep changing my mind as to whether altering the pic will help or not.

I reckon that would make an excellent Christmas card.

Regards

The picture of the cat is great, and I agree with Stu, it would make a great Christmas card!
