Like the image Ed, very atmospheric and full of glorious colours, nice one.
Considering you have three images on page one at the moment of writing, I got round to thinking that it might be nice to receive a comment from you every once in a while, just a thought Ed.

You're right Andy.
It's not that I'm not interested. I am, but I'm just to lazy right now. It will get better as soon the rut is over and I will catch up on the comments. Give me one more week.

Its certainly a nice atmospheric shot Edwin . Not sure if the yellow is too strong and pulls the eye with the tree/ bush on the left necessary. ie a slight crop left and top.
Have a nice kip.

Hello Ed
I have not had a chance to comment on your recent stuff but would like to say there has been some real belters from you. I know life has been tough for you lately with the new baby and work so fair play for getting out at the crack of dawn.
Andy leave him alone the poor blokes knackered

Lovely series of images Edwin. Was about to say there are some dust spots but then realised I am the lazy one and its dirt on my screen.
Hmmmm . . . I’m going to buck the trend I'm afraid - for me this isn't in the same league as previous posts in this series. Great light, great scene, yes, but the comp is not as strong as it could be. The lone tree and the yellow patch add nothing to the shot and compete with the main elements - crop these out and the shot goes up into a different category.
Cheers,
Chris

I like this image but I feel the yellow sun distracts the eye as others have said. Crop this into a panoramic and it will be superb with the tree on the LHS keeping the image balanced. Great colours and love the different distant bands of trees and grass. Gives a nice feel for the place.
I'm with Chris here, this one is not as strong as the others for the reasons mentioned, also the stag gives the impression of leaving the frame... had it been facing the other way I think it would have been stronger, of course rules are made to be broken but in this case IMO it is not working as well as it could.
But really enjoying this series.... looking forward to what else you will come up with.

Thanks guys,
I know this one is on the edge. I was really curious about your comments on this one. The deer is not walking out of the frame but looking straight into the lens. I'm with you on the rest. Thanks a lot.
