Hallo darosa again,

There are all nice,

But these two more for me,

1. Nice the subject, so isolated in the higher part off the foto.

4. I like the very most, with the personel looking eye.


Greetings Willem.
Always in a good mood here.

The thrush and the blackbird are my favourites. Is the goat available for ceremonial duties in the Admin forum?

Thanks Willem and brettania!
And yes Cam, he's very enthusiastic about becoming the Dyxum goat and performing all kinds of ceremonial duties as long as goat's head soup is not on the menu.

Extreme compositions should only be reserved for special situations and you have applied one perfectly in #1 - LOVE IT!

He clearly doesn't know what happened in Wales.

First one is great - I really like the space and the sticks add a lot of interest. Others are very good too, though and I particularly like the robin for the clarity of the feathers and the very nice composition - a lovely shot. The OOF grass is an inconsequential annoyance although could have done without it. Some of the others are a little too close cropped for me as personally I find the angles aren't quite right - better to take advantage of that snow I think - but I would say that having no access to such an environment! However, they are fine shots.
