I like this a lot. The B&W treatment works well, too. (IMHO)

I like these.
My first thought, like Peter, was it's a shame you missed the eyes on number 2.
But on looking again, I quite like that. It focuses attention on that nasty looking beak.

I saw this plant dripping wet after the rain and thought it worthy of a shot.
Only when I was processing it did I realise that the black sports are not seeds, but some sort of insect infestation.

Well, the recent competition has inspired me not only to enter a competition again, but also to stop moaning about not having time to get out with my camera and just get my camera out.

C&C not only welcome, but actively sought please.Do they even class as abstract?

On a side note:
What car is that?

Again, I can't fault your pics in what appear to be difficult conditions.
I love the titles as well.
If I had to pick one it would be Bale Conditions.

Well, I'd never been to a racecourse before (not horse racing anyhow).
But, as my new boss wanted to pay for the food and drink for all of the staff, it seemed rude not to!
But, I took my camera as well.
Shame I couldn't avoid the safety barrier in the shots, but there was no way around that.

C&C welcome

I tell you, photographing rally cars is easier than horses!

I do like getting to spend a little time in Birkenhead Park. My excuse this time was an event my daughter had to attend, which gave me an hour to wait, all on my own, with no-one to heckle me!
I find I keep getting drawn to the boathouse, but I've never photographed it from this side of the lake before.

C&C welcome.

Wonderful set. I love these bird and photographing them, but you blow me out of the water!

I particularly like number 6. Why? The unusual angle. We usually see the bird against the sky, looking down onto the bird against the ground is an interesting angle.

I found this one very useful.
Absolutely nothing on taking photographs as such, but lots on composition.
It's called "How to look at photographs", by David Flinn.
