If you are going to capture a shot of a butterfly then this is how to do it. The minimal inclusion of the flower works very well in supporting the butterfly. A shot I would be pleased to have made.

Absolutely magical. You have captured the atmosphere and light perfectly. There is so much to see in this pic. I love the boat perfectly in the mouth of the harbour reflecting and completing a circle of light all around the harbour wall. It is the most magical pic I have so far seen on the Gallery. You are a star. regards.

That has got to be my auntie Bessie in the middle. I recognise her rear end anywhere....Just kidding. It made me laugh. I am old enough to remember how the old ladies dared to get their feet wet on a visit to the seaside. I like it a lot.

I also can see why you took this shot. It's always a challenge to select the essence of what you see. Your eyes would have a much larger view of this. Selecting the part that conveys what you are seeing is the thing. You have mostly caught the essence of the view but for other viewers you have left them to understand your decision.

Some photos make you smile, some make you grimmace and some do nothing. Along comes a photograph like yours that really makes you stop and think and enters into your world. I am so so glad you did not hesitate for too long. It is maybe not for everyone but for me, it has stayed with me for a long time and I am grateful for the photograph, even though it has brought me pain. My relative is ...

This pic asks all sorts of questions. I've stayed with it quite a while and it puts me in a sombre mood. It speaks to me of mortality and the futility of war. Having a relative just seriously injured in Afganistan makes me somewhat angry at the polititions in their safe abode waremongering against the will of the people of this country. This pic has stirred up all sorts of emotions. As for ...

The subject is beautiful. It would do her even better justice to take a little more care what background you choose. The garden furniture behind her spoils your shot. The pic does justice to your equipment.
