    Great atmospheric shot. All paying homage.

    I like this 'nothing special' shot. The interplay of shadow on the windows looks worthy of more exploration.

    What a fantastic set. The landscape colours at this time of year are just fabulous, perfectly caught here. I'm envious of the detail that you pull out of these files, but there's no way I would be carrying that gear.

    Dancing Magnolia petals
    I really like the way Woodsider managed to capture the wind blowing some daffodils in a forest in one of her recent posts.
    I thought I'd try something similar in my garden, and found it to be more difficult than it seemed !!
    Here's my first attempt but I definitely need to try it again.
    On that day the sky was quite dark and the sunlight was sometimes shining on the white petals of the Stella Magnolia, really making them stand out nicely.

    Here's the first shot with almost no wind.

    but when the gusts came, it took those petals on a wild dance

    Does it work for you as it is ?
    For the next attempt, I'll try and get something more solid and unmoving in the image as well, so you can see that it's the wind that's blowing the petals and not just a blurry shot ;-)
    I'll also try with some ND filters to get the shutter speed down more easily

    "Got dragged away by the family". Something every photographer has experienced!

    Like the way you caught peak action in this shot.

    I like this one very much. The red pinpricks drew me to this one.

    A lovely sequence, I like the way you seem to give character to the animals you photograph. Something very rare in all the wildlife pictures I see posted.

    Good intel. Didn't know what it was called.

    Fine shot, yellow vs blue.

    This one is the most engaging because the eye contact is the most direct.

    This is my favorite of these. I've not had much luck with Intentional Camera Movement myself.

    My favorite. Similar to one I posted this week.
