Well conceived and executed!

Oh dear, that's how it starts... Redgates toy shop with their coin operated model railway and Thomas the Tank Engine books. Charmingly reminiscent!

I think an expression makes a shot like this. It might only last a few seconds and be lost while you carefully compose to lose the distractions in the background (which I think are sufficently out-of-focus here anyway). Keep going for the shot and if it works as here, great.

An attractive and moody portrait.

I like the lead-in along the building and the almost surreal texture of the clouds.

It's a fine textbook action shot, maybe cropped a little tight though.

I like the texture of the sky, the placing of the horizon for composition and the mono conversion.

I think you were always safe, David. It's a pleasing portrait revealing her skin tones and a good mono conversion to boot. The only thing I might have done different would be to pan slightly to the right, to put the subject left of centre and give her more space to look into. On the other hand it is well balanced around her shoulders. I think Paul was joking about flowers for your fune ...

Good portrait and the crop suits the architectural detail in the background.

Been walking around Peak Dale (Near Dove Holes), have you? Well suited to mono and interesting textures but a slight shame that you have cropped the semaphore signals.
