Thanks to all who commented!
I find it very interesting which ones people liked most, especially
because they barely overlap at all.
I agree that the BBC contest would be a long shot, but I just wanted to
see what you thought. If only my birthday was in August instead of
February then I would be able to enter in the youth category, which
would make things a little more optimistic.
I have great suspicions about that. When I see 12 yearolds producing
perfect pictures with about £5000 worth of camera equipment, I have to
wonder how much parental involvement there is.

You're right about it being hard to get original bird shots.
Fortunately the BBC contest has two categories just for them so they are
not competing with more overworked subjects.
I think yours score on the "environment with a bird in" level rather
than pure bird portraits.
I'm sorry you didn't like the layout. I took great pains to make it like
that because I thought it made a nicer and less cluttered presentation,
giving more focus to the individual photos, and was at least an attempt
at originality. I would be interested to hear other people's opinions on
this, if they have any.
I don't mind it so much - it is more irritating that, after looking at
one picture, you go back to the beginning of the gallery each time.
Bob Shell,
I don't know what to say about that. I'm looking at in Firefox from my
PC and it seems to be working fine although when I was poking around
with it I did notice some odd things in the script that PS had generated.
My apologies for not replying to you all individually but it takes me so
long to to get out one e-mail that the prospect of trying to send five
on the same day is rather daunting,
Thanks again,
Francis
