Jofford. This works for me. No need for description. The picture tells a story which might be different from your own. The figure dominates. The red gives the picture colour and interest. Just wish the figure could be off centre a little to draw the rest of the scene into the over all picture.

What a brassy lassie. Incredible colour and superbly captured. The days of my going on my belly to get shots like these are past. Ah well!!

I like the colour and the contrast with a plus for the shadow but cannot quite work out what it is and how that shadow fits in the picture. Maybe you intend to make the viewer think but not compelling enough for me to stop for long. regards thoramay

Would be interested to see it with the central beam moved to the left so as to match the two side beams to sit opposite each other. Its just the way you look at it. I think it would draw your eye to the middle. As it is now, for me, my eye goes straight up the central beam. The cloud reflection adds to the picture and yet also detracts from the effect of the angles. I am a sucker for s ...

Kosh. Fir trees have cones Acorns come from oak trees. Never mind. I like the shape of the bough with the cones on. It kinda wants you to lean your head to the right.

You are getting tooooo good, Trixie. I have never attempted anything like this. Don't know if it would spoilt the shadow but I would be inclined to up the exposure just a tad. I think it might help the centre to grab your attention more. As it is it is very effective. Clever thinking. I like snappers who are ready to go down different routes. regrads thoramay.

light coming from the left. A reflecor on the right side would have lit up the bottom flowers, but hey! It a lovely portrayal of that flower.

Clever lighting and have caught the colour well. A different viewpoint would have moved the front leaf farther round and maybe nore in focus, even a higher viewpoint. It does detract somewhat for me.

Cannot seee the leaves but my guess from the centre of the flower is that it is a magnolia.

I think the impact could be greater if those white bits inside the right frame and just under it could be cloned out but without testing it out I could be wrong. I love the pattern play and this has been well seen and executed.
