Springtime

The first to arrive at the start of spring are the snowdrops, i really like this image the way you have framed it the crop works perfectly with the snowdrops clear and sharp and the blurring of the background using close focusing helps this keep up the good work

Now this is what i call capturing the moment which you have certainly done, the fox behind the cow, spring certainly comes to mind i'm not sure what camera you used but i would love to have seen a closer photo using a tele lens, the fox had obviously spotted you so i know how difficult it can be just getting this spur of the moment photo which you have done very well and that is why i commended this image so keep up the good work

This image made me smile my first thought was the sheep was doing an elvis impression, then i knew you had hit the brief the sheep could smell that spring is in the air, you have framed this just right with good composition i like the conversion to B&W i think this works in this instance well done

This beautiful photos hits the brief perfectly it as spring written all over it well done, the browns of the red squirrel and the blues of the bluebells go together perfectly, i like the coposition and framing and its sharp in all the right places your patience paid off and you were rewarded with ths lovely image a very worthy commended image keep up the good work

As a photographer who started out in film my first thought that this was shot on a film camera, it must have been challenging getting the exposure right in the woodland with no back screen to preview, the photographer as done a cracking job a vibrant colourful image with the greens and blues and the shafts of sunlight appearing through the trees one of my favourite images of this competition very well done

This is one of my standout photos, the subtle colours are beautiful with the gannet against the blurred out greenery and sea almost dreamy like, the gannet is pin sharp in all the right places i really like the framing and the compostion is very good a worth commended image

This image made me smile the damsel fly peering from behind the stalk, framed perfectly and sharp enough in all the right places the subtle pink hues behind the damsel fly really work well, well done keep up the good work

As soon as i viewed this image i knew it had the wow factor the bee eater passing a gift to its mate, a sign that spring as arrived its perfectly framed and i just love everything about this vibrant colourful photo very well done to the photographer a much deserved first place

Another of my favourite images i love the way the photographer as framed this any closer and it wouldnt have worked in my eyes, the detail of the butterfies and flower is nice and sharp with the blurred background, its a beautiful photograph well done and keep up the good work

You have certainly captured the moment with the young blackbirds shouting to be fed, you have hit the brief of Spring spot on, have you ever tried photographing right from ground level, it certainly changes the impact of a photo, I like the framing and composition of this photo, well done to the photographer keep up the good work

When viewing allk the entries this striking striking spring photo caught my eye, the tulip fields from the netherlands, I love the framing with all the lines in the image leading to the top centre like an optical issusion i could see that on a canvas on a wall a worthy commended image very well done

Upon viewing this the first time I thought it was a swan coming in to land on water then I read it was a fountain and the photographer as intentionally moved the camera whilst taking the photo at a slower shutter speed as certainly created something unique well done and keep up the good work a deserving commendable image

I’m not normally one for colour pop photos but this one works really well the colour of the crocus really stands out against the B&W I think it’s framed really and shooting at low level as paid off for this type of photo well done to the photographer

Low down in a field of flowers I like the perspective with the foreground blur leading to the sharpness in the centre giving you a butterflies perspective, had you thought about cropping the image taking out the sky in the distance I think that would have also worked but overhaul a nice spring image and the tiny yellow butterfly gives it a sense of scale of the size of the field well done and keep up the good work

A lovely spring image full of colour with the beautiful architecture in the distance I really like the low perfective, the image is nice and sharp, had you thought about a portrait crop taking out the trees on either side and using the architecture as the central focus leading from the daffodils I think that may have also worked, but overall a very nice image well done and keep up the good work
