Another amazing, massively engaging set Smeggy. Will take me a while to look through properly (and 'the rest'), but initial reactions: all fine fine stuff, but #2 is an absolute knockout, and 16, 17 and 21 just brilliant. And how the hell do you take a photo like #7 at 10mm

The lens was about 10mm from her face ( I was doing a 'big nose shot' ) and it was a crop - I'm not sure if it was a 100% crop but not far off.

7 & 16 for me, but the whole thing works a treat as a series too.

close to all the "Dolly Birds"

hehe - makes photography more fun. I've got to know some of them from last years show and from facebook so they're more than happy to pose for real close ups and silly shots.Super set! I can't help noticing that you get very

More great stuff Smeggy. Each of the sets have been 'a bit of everything' which I actually quite like as it really conveys your enthusiasm but you have subsets across the sets which would be quite 'exhibition-worthy'... e.g. the black and white candids, dynamic UWA shots, colour shots of detritus, etc.
From this bunch, the last is my favourite with no.16 hot on its heels

An astonishing set, Smeggy. Such variety, in all respects and yet quality is maintained throughout.
As always, people and ancilliary stuff much more interesting than the cars! (Why do people mess about with their vehicles like this? I'm uneasy at even placing a National Trust sticker on my windscreen lest it detract from the standard!)
As for number one, from the look of him, I should think his wife might bite his hand off!

The quality of all your work is so high! Last one is my favourite, something I would never think of snapping.
