I really like the first three and particularly the 2nd, looks like a spaceship might appear.

Well it certainly makes me envious as ours are withering. Nicely separated from the background and nicely fresh looking. Are the highlights just a tad too bright?

I looked at the shot before I read your comments. It took me a while to notice the climbers and then I realised the scale of what I was looking at. That I really like. I agree though with Andrew's comments on the technicals.

A quick return to form as I would expect. I really like that. I'd prefer just a smidgeon of space to the right of the right-most branch and another cm of ground (but not to the detriment of space above the bird). But I'm being super picky. Nice shot.
That's a real rarity. A photo of yours I don't like. I don't like the dark bottom quarter - I would have preferred it substituted for more sky. Highlighted parts of the sky, particularly around the Sun, look odd to me. I think there's potential for a very good shot here but this isn't it for me. Sorry.

I wonder what the criteria are for the Premier gallery? Your owl pic is nice, but I wouldn't have thought it rated being in the top 300 photos on the site? Not meaning to be rude here, BTW, just curious. I wonder if you have to be in the "100 pictures accepted" club to be considered for the Premier Gallery? All very puzzling...!
No. My Premiere acceptance was before 100.I wonder what the criteria are for the Premier gallery? Your owl pic is nice, but I wouldn't have thought it rated being in the top 300 photos on the site?

Ooh, nice lens. The camel like dopey horse made me smile. Personally I'd like to see a bit more rocky foreground in the first two.

The sun goes like a jellyfish and gentle fades.
Keats himself could not have put it better.

I prefer iBergs version of the tracks. I like the first two as well. The horizon needs straightening in Jetty. Driftwood doesn't work for me I'm afraid as it isn't sharp enough. With Groyne I can't make up my mind - I think I'd like to see the scene with more groyne in the frame (and the horizon straightened a smidgeon). I always like to see the sea though, being far removed from it now.

I got one accepted today (number 4 in the kids series I posted recently). I know it's a game as well but I'm also ridiculously pleased with myself. There aren't many photos in there so it's a very good feeling.
