Hi Jim,
Long time ago and nice to see you again with some stories from your youth. I really like the second image, where the two solitary trees protrude above the horizon. Is that a walking path or is that part set back, perpendicular to the view of the two trees, which is perpendicular to the higher horizon!
Nice photo and good color palette, Lou
Hi Minniev,
Your first photo derives its power from being completely in the frame.
The second one with the main person who hardly stands out in the first image is a beauty.
Standing right in front of the slightly hollow plank, the heron appears to be a
cautious tightrope walker with a beautiful backdrop of green and red flowers.
Like it, Lou
Hi Lou good to see you are still going strong . are you still a biker ? . The path was and still is a space left to wildlife between two cultivated fields the farmer and now his son have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to nature. I just turned 59 and the path has always been there , I must ask 😀 young Alistair { the farmers son } who was at school with me when his dad also Alastair { now 93 } decided to leave the space to nature

That first shot is a cracker !
Love the way those ominous dark clouds have rays of hope shining out on the right side
Lovely scene, well composed. I like those fall colours. Looks like a peaceful place.
I didn't notice the big bird at all at first, but after seeing it in the second, went back and found it. Making it an added attraction to the 1st :-)
I like this a lot! The colors and light are fantastic and I love that the composition is actually putting more emphasis on the water and trees alongside it than on the path. Great choice and a wonderful result!
Great scene. So unique. Feels like we are all right there, part of it. Love it.
I admire your keen eye for noticing this assembly of textures and lines and angles.
B&W treatment is ideal choice to accentuate the amazing architectural details.
Top capture is a dream shot. You have all the elements there. It's like the viewer is actually walking alongside. Perfect.
The bird is a very welcome addition and obviously is part of the scene.
Great combo.
Very innovative capture and pp.
To me this capture borders on being an abstract, almost. Particularly in the view of a fact that b&w treatment adds new level of interest because we all associate this brand with colour red. This oval spot above is certainly intriguing.
Interesting .. Always interested in the table manners of birds ... But for bad table manners
My friend here spends his time waiting for a careless squirrel to cross a busy street when he retrieves his breakfast ... But as to critique for memorable photographs I am deterred .....
WhyNot
my mistske
my mistake
Looks like a good place to spend some time .. and I guess that the heron is much like our Mooch
Mooch spend much of his time fishing along side the fishermen or just, as he is here, standing about waiting for the fisherwoman to throw him one that is too small to keep ...Although he will often stand about and pose for my pictures!!! ( the fishermen gave him his name, I believe the boaters at this marina have different name that I have forgotten. ... )

Do not even pretend to establish eye contact with this woman! Whew!

Wonderful abstract geometry shot! I thought it might be interesting to flip it, but it actually works way better as it is... and it's perfect in B&W. Really well captured!
