Aw rats, I didn't make the finalists. Did you think my pics were any good though, Big Dave? Bottom of page one I think.

No - I like your pics and I can't fault them - only that there are half a dozen candidates of equal quality - and by virtue of that - others with a stronger point of difference get the gong.

Re-submit them next month and a different judge may include them.

Why do it? - cos you can!

Good on you mate... fantastic trip by the sounds of it. Good to see you have a Boulevard too.

Great photos in the top 10, and good reasons for inclusion.

Can we ask you on this thread for advice on our photos that did not make it, like this one and this one, or can we PM you? I really want to improve my photography and appreciate any feedback.
Do you mind answering questions?

Not at all do I mind.

Both of those are good shots. The kwaka is moody and I lke the DOF - it was no 11 or 12 in the cut - the senna is sharp too, but for that sort of shot I look for some speed blur or a distant backdrop.

Y'know - all this is subjective. Next month's judge will have different perspectives.

I have written some 'how to's' - I'll try and find them.

Same for me, I'd like to improve my photograhy too.

Cheers mate, that's good enough for me.

FINALIST 3



They might be clever and resourceful but they obviously have NO sense of smell.
A 1000 word-er.

I HOPE you aren't REALLY looking for a 1000 word caption... but I tend to disagree about the keas having NO sense of smell.. it IS a chicks bike after all.. & the kea IS enjoying that sheepskin..

Caption: "Bert looked on in envy, as Cecil enjoyed his first bit of fluff in ages"

FINALIST 4



That’s just beautiful. Made me feel warm. I can smell the smoke and hear the bullshit from here.

This pic is called.. "Midnight Eyes"




Good luck to all the finalists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
