Hi Liz,
Young - So... To me the focus seems to be on the branch rather than the blossom. It could just be my tired old eyes, but I feel critical focus wasn't achieved. Nice spot for the theme though
Smooth - This is far better
Feeling this one. Good use of the greens and blues.
Above - Not an easy shot this, I'm guessing you were fairly wide open due to the light. Which means the ceiling isn't all sharp... I might have used the chandelier for the focus point instead? Maybe a thought? Dunno...
Hot - Is that Tatton park too? It definitely sells the theme, with the humidity on the image hazing throughout.
Light - Lovely image. Loving the use of the reflections of the sun, the star-burst of the sun, the blue of the sky and sea.
Crowd(ed) - I would have liked to have seen someone looking in your direction visibly. Street loses it's impact when all you have is the back of heads, sorry
Fits the theme nicely though.
Decay - Nicely counterpoints the dead bloom with the one that's still alive
Great purple colours.
Free - Nice macro. Sharp, plenty of texture. Can't have been easy with a moving horse...
