Hello, Rachel.
Yes, I must agree with Paul - a good note really makes it for me - I have learned so much about people and places just by reading notes (and trying to compose meaningful ones myself!) as well as looking at nice pictures.
This one is a cracker. You've composed this one very well and your viewpoint is superb. I love those detailed big rocks in the foreground and the excellent placement of that peak in the picture.
Again, I think it could take some sharpening, just like your TE picture, so I've done a quick workshop for you. I hope you'll not be offended - see what you think.
Best Wishes,
John. (Dad. XX)
Hello, Lorna.
Whoa!
You have done very well here. Judging by your note, you were lucky not to be stranded on the island! Well worth the risk though, to get a picture like this.
Wonderfully clear and sharp with the foreground and background both nicely out-of-focus.
Excellent!
Best Wishes,
John.
Hello, Rachel.
Welcome to TN!
And a very fine first posting too!
What fabulous tones of red! And sharply focussed too, with the background nicely thrown out-of-focus. Those little blobs of water add a bit more interest and the bright yellow in the foreground gives it all depth.
Very nice indeed, Rachel!

Hello, Linda.
Another lovely shot with great contrast between two colours. Also a wonderful feeling of movement of the reeds by the wind.
Well done!
Best Wishes,
John.
Hello, Linda.
What a lovely clear and sharp close photograph! The colours are very nice and I like the way the background is nicely out-of-focus.
Very well done!
Best Wishes,
John.
Hello, Gary.
Another of your beautiful telephoto shots of birds - as usual, so sharp and clear with beautiful colours against a wonderfully out-of-focus background. You must have a very steady hand to take pictures at a focal length of 400mm!
Very well done.
Best Wishes,
John.
P.S. And an excellent note too!
Hi, Gary.
This picture is absolutely amazing - so close, so sharp, such perfect colours, a totally blank background - what more could anyone ask for?
Very, very, very well done!
Best Wishes,
John.
Hello, Marie,
What a wonderful shot! Well done. I would gladly sacrifice a piece of cake to achieve a picture as good as this!
Fantastic!
Best Wishes,
John.

Hello, Bev.
After a long absence from TN, I see this! And Wow! this is a wonderful shot of your favourite creature!
He just looks so perky and alert and full of expression.
Excellent!
Best Wishes,
John.
