A couple of pics for whoever to check out. I particularly would like to know what you think of this one. I sort of like it, and I couldn't get it at a better angle as this was the only angle where the sky was in the water.

I posted a similar one to this a while ago that I liked a little better, though this one has the sunset exposed and the ball in the air. You may not remember the other one which I liked better, but this one isn't bad.

I think that this one is a tad busy. I'm always sort of on the look out for something interesting in a puddle. I found this and liked it when I took it, but not sure how great I think it is now.

Dooda,

i really like the concept of the first one, and the colours in the water are coolio.

I like the second one a lot. If you could get it without that tree there so that just the players, the hoop and the ball were silhouetted against the sky it would have been totally cool IMO.

You're getting very arty! I love the first shot and I'm impressed that you had the vision to see it.

Way impressive concept AND execution for the first one. I agree the previous version of second one was a better shot.

Dave - the third shot is too busy IMO and the second shot not as good as your first one of the same subject.

But, #1 is great - colour and concept are hand-in-hand :D

Thanks for the comments, and I agree with everyone pretty much. #3 is okay but could be better. I'll keep my eyes open for a better one. The Bball one would look better cropped down, or from a better angle, unfortunatly there was a game playing to my right as well so I couldn't move over much. 1 is pretty good, but not perfect, but the concept works aesthetically I think.
