<IMO> Good gallery this week! </IMO>
<FACT> Jim Another AF-image: that is, the subject is smack bang on the mid line.
I can't deny it's overall a lovely image with a great background ... but how much better if the sign had read "no swimming" instead of "private". If the image has a weakness, the lack of sun on the head when everywhere else is beautifully lit is it.
Alberto OK, an example of an image which is destroyed by the title: or should I say, REPLACED by the title. I'm still trying to understand the title / explanation that I'm missing the opportunity to explore the photo.
It's a pleasant abstract. Nicely framed.
Can't see any flag.
John: Last week's portrait is still in my mind (or maybe its the thoughts of the other 70% we didn't get to see ;o). No, last week was a very memorable shot: it worked because it was different but also because it seemed so natural.
This week's is nothing special. It's just a profile. It does not have the magic to be remembered thought.
Greg. You can see where the animal paused to dump!
It;s an interesting shot on several levels but not a masterpiece. Tracks in snow always appeal to me. They are indeed a sort of gestalt: we are seeing not what is there but a trace of what was. So much action.
Hare or rabbit?
Don Death and the US flag. An interesting symbolism best not explored.
That flag completely ruins the image for me.
Harris Everything is sharp apart from the horse's head and rider.
I'm not sure on this: the traditional approach is to pan (?) It shows movement for sure but I've grown used to sports shots that freeze the subjects and blur the background.

Too small to appreciate I'm afraid.
Get a faster computer and render a few more pixels !
It looks a giggle btw: just needs to be bigger!
Achal One of the best shot's I've seen by Achal. The tile really makes something of what would have been a bland vertical.
Don't think I've much to add: it's just a lovely image. As someone else said: pity about the placing of the copyright: since you have a border why not place it there?
<FACT>
<IMO> Thanks to Andy for sure.
Who is David though? David Hazy?
