Introduction: As a backdrop to my review observations, I am happy to divulge that my interest in Photography mainly focuses on the interplay of light on a subject or object and the surroundings encompassed within the four corners of a camera?s viewfinder. Fuji Velvia Slide film and a Lightbox are still highly thought of, which probably explains why I am a follower of Photography by Mike Busselle, Joe Cornish, Lee Frost, Tom Mackie, David Noton, Charlie Waite and John Webster. My self-absorbed thinking is not always concerned with Landscape and Travel. Occasionally, I enjoy shooting the odd Still Life using soft diffused window light.

When it comes to Wildlife Photography, I am aware of the work of Andy Rouse and just how far he pushes the boat out with Lady Luck at his side.

Art is undoubtedly the cornerstone of all Photographic paths, tracing it?s true roots back to cave drawings and etchings.

Digital Art has surely passed everyone?s expectations, and has led me to occasionally explore the challenges and creativity offered by a Fuji Finepix S2800HD Digital Camera.

I do not hold a teaching qualification, but I am BTEC National Diploma accredited in Design and a NAWE Professional follower / member.

All Artists surely have a unique thought process interacting with their craft.

As reviewers, we have to accept that our observations cannot always hit bullseye from a recipient?s viewpoint.

My aim is never to cause offence.

Observations: The Portrait Composition adds a really dynamic quality to your image.

Captioning is simple and has been well thought through.

Creativity of presentation: First Rate
Color Harmony: Outstanding
Centre of Interest: Well seen
Technical Excellence: Respect
Technique: Imaginative
Story Telling Ability: Strong

Conclusion: A worthy Five Star Award.

Thank You for sharing.

This has a strong initial impact with the bright pink lotus flower commanding attention. It is sharp in detail and unusual with its gradient pink shades. The contrast with the plant net to it holds interest and gives balance. Good composition.

Love the natural setting for the lotus bloom they are such an intersting flower with the shades of pink contrasted with the yellow seedpod centre which unfortunately is hidden. Like the reeds as a backdrop.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


This is an example of "artistic eye" which I'm always telling you about. Supergold, I think your photos are improving over time, how do you feel? FAR has that effect on us, it's one of the pluses of being on here, the other plus is of course the humor....or at least how you and I perceive humor.

This is really well cropped and well seen and I absolutely love the beauty of the flower amidst the chaos of the environment....it is like the crux of a moment of meditation, that ah ha moment in picture format.

The colours are warm the pink excites and stands out.

This photograph is worthy of 6 stars.....alas

Well balanced elements in this image and perfectly composed to show the beauty of the lotus flower.
Nicely detailed petals with the glowing pink shining in the light.
Nice work as always.
