What's to criticise, a lovely set, particularly like the connection with the eye's and the viewer in the second image.

Bugger! You beat me to it, damn
No no, seriously now: Well done, Tim! I had little time submitting recently and got three shots declined (I just submitted enough to make it 100 if all would have been accepted).
The first one for me is the strongest of the series, the Billionaires club is my #2.

Thanks Stephen and Ralf!
Ralf I'm sure you would have beaten me to it if you weren't stuck on that ship for the last month!
Now I've got my 100, plus 1 in the Premiere collection, my next challenge is to get a photo accepted to 1x.com. Submitted 4 so far (only 1 a week for free members). Three were rejected in less than 24 hours, one lasted 3 or 4 days before being rejected (that was the Premier collection one :mrgreen! I wasn't that surprised to be honest, virtually all the photos accepted to 1x.com are incredible, leagues ahead of the PPG in my opinion.

Brilliant. Well done. There are some great photos there, my favourite of your 102 is "The Cottage". I had to do a few double takes between Stamens and Reaching For The Skies.

Thank you Algi and Dr O!
Dr O interesting you like the cottage. It was rejected in colour so hence became one of my first forays into the world of high contrast mono! Taken with a K100D and the lowly 18-55 mk 1 kit lens! Just goes to show the equipment isn't everything!
PS I hadn't realised I submitted both Stamens and Reach for the skies. They are very similar, oops! I'll probably delete Stamens as I prefer the other angle.
Ralf I'm sure some of your PPG shots would get into 1x.com. Just off the top of my head the mantis on the leaf and that pointy waterfront building HDR

Ok Tim, then I have two candidates for the first try...
Have you tried here: http://www.seenby.co.uk/ ?
I got only one in so far and many rejected.
