Zoot alors! France? Je suis très heureux avec ce choix de sujet!

Thanks, Karma. Well judged.

Subject-wise the first three trees work really well, but for me the larger clump and those further right become slightly awkward. I know that's how it was, but if the only trees were the first three it would lift it completely."

Yes, I see what you mean. I'm not one to reshape a landscape to make a shot better, so I'm just happy to have made it as it is. C'est la vie!


Congrats to Geordie. One of a nice pair of bridges.

Well done KM!

Well judged, dr, and thanks for the madness award. I could feel the buffetting you mentioned, actually.

Last year I wasn't taking any photos at all, and wasn't that interested. In September I picked up my old bridge camera, asked for help in improving, and with that improvement finally bought a K-x in January, my first DSLR.

Miles and miles to go, but in some types of photography I feel I have come on in leaps and bounds.

I have plenty of inspiration, both here and elsewhere. And I'm very grateful for it.

Fantastic shots!

Just bought a 100mm DF-A macro a few seconds ago....very happy!

That 1st shot is something else, Mark.
