Nice shots Ted, gorgeous lighting and not too much burning out on the white horses back, Cliffs right it needs cropping, I would take it to roughly down the middle of the flare, then clone out whats left of the flare and also clone out that puddle on the right and it'll be a cracker.

Excelent.

True

That sucks, its high time ebay INSISTED on payments via paypal and credit card only, I've come across stuff myself that sounded iffy but left well alone, saving a few quid is not worth the risk of losing hundreds.

Lets hope the sharks get the b@$t@rd and eat him very slowly

Why? have you got one

I dont have a problem with birds sitting on bird baths, lets see the whole pic, at least it'll show where the water droplets on its feathers have come from.

Oh yeah! so why does it need such a sharp looking beak to eat honey

Some nice shots there Scott. not keen on the first two though, theyre a bit "ordinary" a bit "oh a chopper let me get a snap" mind you I'd have taken them as well

The third shot is the best, it tells more of a story with the ambulance etc which makes me wonder why you tried the crop? IMHO the shot with the distortion from the exausts heat is the one that needs the crop, you could quite easily get rid of the bus on this one, and if you could clone out that horrendous pink sign and play around with the sky a bit I think this would be a cracker (the sky colour looks a bit iffy to me)

I like the last shot too but its a shame you couldn't get around the other side and get the figures in

I dont mind, that link to Victorias Secret made my day

It could be any number of things, you shifting slightly after focusing, the breeze moving the plant, the caterpillar moved

I get the occasional shot like this, where I know (or think) it should have been sharp and its not, I dont worry about it and just put it down to unknown forces.

Yup, number 3
