Hi Niek

I was sure I had written a critiqu on this one - but it seems not to be here - so here is another attempt. I lobe the colours - I think I can honestly say that it had not occurred to me that mountains could come in these colours! and as with my photo, I love the blue in the top left - but in your case bluer mountains to offset the red and creams in the rest of the picture. the portrait format has worked really well. I hope you are pleased with this picture - I would be. you have pulle dit off really well given it was the brightest time of day...

Hi Tony

I really like this picture, there is so much to see and there is so much space in it. - the long exposure has helped the water hughely - I'm guessing taht there was a graduated ND filter across the top, or some pp work afterwards? great composition.

Hi Paul

Love the sky - it works so very well in this picture - 30 seconds has really added to it - have been playing with some serious low light photography myself recently as well - one thought though - with the tree bending inwards to the left, it might have been better placed to the left of the frame? random thoughts - you have made the B&W work exceptionally well here.

Hi Albert

I have to say that I am absolutley fascinated by this plants in your collection. I don't think I have seeb anything like them before. I am struggling a touch with the scale but they look to be quite small but you have captured them beautifully and there is so much to see and so much detail to be seen in this photo. I love the colours in this picture.

Hi Alexei

I have to say that this is a beautiful capture of the scare swallowtail with excellent DOF throughout. the detail and colour throughout are stunning.

Hi Markus

I love the colours in this shot, so many rich tones of brown and orange. the splash of light and the water droplet really add to the scene. Hope your surgery went well. I am slowly coming to terms with my health issues and not on quite such a destructive path as I was previously, but I have missed most of this autumn with my camera out of action.

Great composition as always

Hi Jesus

What a wonderful shot - I love the composition with the b'fly looking inwards from the end of the grass seed. Good DOF and excellent composition.

Hi Marius

I could not help but critique this female stonechat. I had the fortune to see a group of male and female stonechat's during a snow storm many years ago, so this brought a smile to my face... sitting in the middle of a blizzard in my car waiting for a gap in the storm for a landscape, a female stonechat landed on a fence not more than a couple of meters from my car. I was able to put the car window down and get a few shots of her.

Anyhow - your picture of her is beautifully composed and wonderfully crisp. Excellent compoistion as well.
