Sun Coming Through The Trees

     This is a really inspiring shot, one of those photographs where you're glad to be alive, glad to see the beauty of the earth, the sunlight and it's fan of rays spreading out, the tree trunks are caught as silhouettes, but you can see the leaves in the background, but it's the haze that gets you, like out of a film set, it creates mystery and wonder.

Footprints In The Sand

     What a lovely shot, a beautiful silhouette, some 'laws' of photography seem to be broken here, one is to never have the subject directly in the centre of the frame, and here the parent / child are in the centre, as well as the strong reflected sunlight is in the centre too, however it still works a treat, there's a lovely shadow / reflection of the people, and footprints in the dry sand, but washed away in the wet, and you can see the line between the dry and wet, there's a luminous glow about the cool wet sand, you can almost smell the sea.

Silhouette / Hands

Here's another clever and inventive shot, a silhouette against some window panes, five children looking into what seems to be a classroom or something, with the lights turned out, not exactly a complete black silhouette, as you can still slightly see some features, but the special wire glass, and the almost non see through of the frosted glass makes ghostly figures, deep down it's the hands which make an impression, which are dark and clearer as they are pressed up against the glass, the whole picture is shrouded in a hazy blue colour, a very effective and interesting photo.

Golden Silhouette

     Now here's a really classy shot, i didn't realise how good this really was until i had another look today, it has truly stunning light in it, of course there's some fairly strong filter involved here, but it's a great effect, it looks as though an extra filter was involved in a big portion of the top right hand corner, and a little bit of the top left, makes the clouds there look dark and angry [the reason for the umbrella?], the sunlight is powerful, and gives a nice idea of fanned rays shinning down, the trees on the horizon give the picture a nice sense of scale, it looks hot!, only the bottom foreground is not greatly interesting, but it does frame the picture at the bottom.
