Towering Inferno -
Dean has raised a vital point. If you examine carefully the left hand edge of the photo, and hit the Enhance(tm) button so loved on the CSI program, I believe you've inadvertently captured a childnapper in the process of snatching another victim.
In the name of Jeebers, call the police.

Only no motion blur because the naughty cows haven't seen you yet.. this was heading up the hill, not retreating ingloriously later on...

Rina, where are the cow shots? Or are they all a bit movement blurred due to you running away from the naughty cows so fast?

This Adrian really needs to sort his wall out. Doesn't look like it's been maintained in centuries.
You're on to something here... this would probably have made a "nice" photo on a nicer day... but with weather putting its hand up, it's an extremely dramatic shot. I'd be hussling back there were I you. With a raincoat.

Add a windmill or a cathedral and this is Constablesque... in a good way. Well observed and good work allowing the skyscape to grow - that is, not cropping too "low".
I wonder if it's a little too dark on the land out to the right there, and if the picture couldn't have been strengthened by chopping the dark land and the brightest cloud out...

I love the scale in this. I think your decision to crop "high", retaining all of that water colour sky was a good one... well done, this is beautiful.

Rina, I think the DOF's too tight... I'd have gone more towards a smaller aperture, enough to get him completely in focus, and to allow a little more of the background to come in.

okay. What are you doing? Is it the big aperture or the slow shutter do you think that's creating the amazing colours?

Hi Doyle,
Just so you've got some sort of straw poll here, I'd like to echo Steve Aronoff's comments to some extent... what I love about this picture is the really unusual geometry... it took some looking before I realised I was drawn (as you obviously were) to the four rectangular blocks in theis picure, almost colour fields.
But not only that, the parking lane lines alos made a contribution, and I can live with the light stand except for the way its shadow clashes with those lines.
I think there's so much to like about this image, including the stumpy posts that recur in the sand, the ship that provides a distant focal point a la "Raft of the Medusa".

Rina, Andre's comments are so on the mark here. I suspect that what a parent really wants to see are basically "happy snaps", but properly composed, focussed, DoF-ed, shuttered, exposed and cropped.
To take the second and third photos in this series as examples, Mummy's camera probably told her to "flash", as there's not enough light to shoot this properly (thus destroying the shot). Daddy probly has absolutely no idea about grabbing the DoF required to get Morgan's name in the photo as well - okay, you stuffed this up, but next time you'll know about how to set the aperture to grab this element as well.
I think we take the arty-farty shots for ourselves and other photographers. But we should be taking good, straight-forward photos for our friends and families.
