Nice shot.
But I hate the way those things always look at you as if you're nuts...and they're hungry... crazy evil squirrels...

Doubt I'll ever find 2 more tulips on that wall - there weren't any anywhere else so a reshoot is not possible Mind you - I do like the texture on the top of the wall
My earlier advice about reading the viewfinder info before you click the shutter.... to be followed up by this tip:Doubt I'll ever find 2 more tulips on that wall - there weren't any anywhere else so a reshoot is not possible Mind you - I do like the texture on the top of the wall
Check your histogram after you click the shutter.....
even in the studio where plenty of time was taken to set up every detail... I don't take my lights or set down until we've reviewed the images on a computer and the client is happy....
in case we need to re-shoot, for any reason.

#4 now looks like this - still not idea - but I've learnt a lot working on this

Can anyone suggest any further improvements ?

Welcome Tim! Damn fine name you've got there!
Jealous of your location, must be great for landscapes. Not like boring flat-as-a-pancake Essex. Looking forward to seeing some of your photos!
I live on the Canadian Prairies. We have farms bigger than many of your countries on your side of the pond. The saying around here is if you rob a bank in Winnipeg, there will be a cop on the roof of the police station in Regina, with binoculars, watching for you.Welcome Tim!

Welcome to the forum!
If it turns out to be something redonculous like peel and stick grid screens for your lcd, I'm gonna go all Ricehigh and blame it on Pentax... last round of shows every manufacturer announced new stuff... Pentax rented a booth to show us.... new paint on the old stuff, and a lens that costs as much as a car for a camera that costs as much as a house.. Clearly my "I need more stuff" inner-child is not getting spoiled by Pentax.

I think the best books have nothing to do with photography.
ART books showing the work of masters that understood light, color and composition long before Photography came around... are the best places to learn what you really need to know to create nice photo.

I thought maybe, just maybe, the guy gutted a printer, and used the rails and stepper motors to make a omputer controlled bellows that would allow micro focussing steps that could be blended in post for incredible dof in macro shots, but then the caption would need be "macro photography will never be the same"

Judging by the size of that one I think it eats legs as well as nuts.
incredibly brave photographer to get close enough to photograph one of those with only a 200mm zoom lens.
and still he took the time to compose and focus it nicely before obviously running for his life!
