I like "Pied Kingfisher" (nicely composed, and an unusual perspective for a BIF shot) and "Takeoff". Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 5:38 PM, Ben Price wrote: > Hi folks, > > I don’t often post, but I do enjoy the images shared and discussions on this > mailing list.

Hi Ben - Superb work all around. My two favs are "Take Off" and Whacha looking at?" I noth those both appear to be studio shots, so if the competition puts an emphasis on in the field / behavioral shots I'd go for "Rebirth" and "Theif." Good luck! Mark On 10/1/2014 5:38 PM, Ben Price wrote

Pied Kingfisher is the clear winner of the group, IMHO. What a dynamic shot! "Takeoff" would be my 2nd choice, but "Whatcha looking at?" is a close third. A superb gallery. I'd be thrilled to have taken any ONE of them. On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 11:06 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: > Hi Ben: Overall

Hi Ben: Overall, wonderful work. Greatly enjoyed the set. My three picks are Take Off, Hello, and Whatchalooking at? Of those three, I think Take Off and Hello are my favorites. Good luck with the competition!!! Cheers, Christine On Oct 1, 2014, at 4:38 PM, Ben Price wrote: > Hi folks, >

These are all great shots, for sure. I selected two and I'm scratching my head over your voting form. The image names (eg BWP_1623) don't appear on the Flickr pages, and the captions on the Flickr pages appear quite differently in the vote form. Should I assume that vote item "BWP_1623 (Black & Wh

Ben You'll have to read my choices here... I'm not doing a google form. The standout to me is "takeoff" by a mile - tied for 2nd is the pied kingfisher and "hello". Hope this helps ann On 10/1/2014 17:38, Ben Price wrote: Hi folks, I don’t often post, but I do enjoy the images shared and

All nicely done photos, Ben. I like the B&W of the beetle most. I have no real input towards what makes a winning image in this category, however. It's too far out of my photographic oeuvre. Godfrey > On Oct 1, 2014, at 2:38 PM, Ben Price wrote: > > I don’t often post, but I do enjoy the im

Hi Ben, Stunning photos - at just the first glance you can see there's a professional taking pictures of his subject. Just superb, all of them. It's difficult to compare from the index page when they are different sizes - my instinct is to favour the larger photos, which does not do the others
