Excellent, I particularly like the cheeky rodent eating the crocuses. Detail works well this early in Spring.

A fine and varied set.

A superb collection showing amazing diversity .... best for me are 5, 7, 10 & 12. Excellent clarity and focus on the key elements. Thanks, really something to aspire to soon as the spring arrives !
The frog and little waterfall are beautiful, and I like the deep colours and well pitched exposures throughout ... (if it was my shot someone would say the greens in the last one were 'oversaturated' :wink
the opening squirrel image looks a bit cramped composition-wise ...
The water droplets are brilliant on the second one, a great idea, but the framing doesn't work for me .... its just odd with the rock shelf stuck in the centre and all the dark space above and to the right .... it feels like it needs space above or below .... probably below for the drops to go somewhere.
Anyway, small points aside, an inspiring set, thankyou!

You could be right about the greens , I know what you mean about the fountain, I have taken a number of shots of this over the last 2/3 years, perhaps this one is better framed :The frog and little waterfall are beautiful, and I like the deep colours and well pitched exposures throughout ...

Interestingly I like this precisely for the reason of the shallow depth of field, close in framing and muted colours as it makes it a bit different, here's another squirrel shot a while back begging for food !the opening squirrel image looks a bit cramped composition-wise ...

Those last two are the business!
You seem to have a way with squirrels

Yep, those last two certainly are fantastic! particularly the squirrel, so different from the usual squirrel pose we often see.

Me too!. Also like the last squirrel shot looking up at the camera!Excellent, I particularly like the cheeky rodent eating the crocuses. Detail works well this early in Spring.
And the last two fountain shots - the first is simple and you have 'stopped' the water well. The second - again frozen in time, yet chaotic in a good way showing the random nature of the spray set against a dark background. Great stuff!
