John's picture is notable for the story not for the image. His image is ok but the subject looks like he is about to fall over. I like the dog. Dan's image warrants a similar comment, the story is notable but the image is something you often see. The image of Brighton Pier does not look like a pier and if this Brighton is fifty miles south on London in the UK, I am afraid I cannot place the object photographed. I guess the pier is in the USA and Brighton should be "New Brighton". The photography of "Summer's End" is excellent with a well exposed back lit leaf showing all its richness of Fuji Green. Was it a Fuji film or a Fuji digital I wonder. I took images like that sometimes once but I tend to take people and street scenes now partly because of having simpler equipment and being no longer the owner or user of a car. I lost my license as a result of a minor accident in France where I failed an eyesight test because I had lost my glasses and my judgement was affected by medical treatment for stress. The medic did not tell me it would affect my driving. The frog is ok but I think I can detect some Jpeg digital artefacts. Lake Calhoun looks like a nice place to walk round and Dunnington castle is of historic interest and probably taken down by the parliamentarians at the time of the "commonwealth" revolution against Charles I in the 17th Century in Britain. Unfortunately the royalist took back what wasn't theirs' and the plutocracy in England was restored. The last image listed is leaf by Trevor.
