A wonderful fresh image with vbrant colours. Captured very well. I like his 'cheaky grin' if you could call it that. The dof is just awesome as to is the clarity on the bird itself. Very well done and GL in this weeks challenge.

Excellent moving shot. Clarity, composition and colour are just awesome, however I personally would have cropped out the head and patch of grass at the bottom. Overall a brilliant image though.

Another Day without the Dryer

A perfect 10 for colour, composition, clarity and motive. Your photo portrays just that 'warm' olden day feel and how the good ole' days once were. I just love the scenery with the longish grass and the sheets blowin' in the breeze. Certainly meets the 'home sweet home challenge. Very well composed indeed. GL in this weeks challenge.
