Lovely photos Biggerry. It must be cold out there! I like the pano with the Opera House best; it's a magic view.

Love the last one but not sure about the first, to me it looks to tight. I be interested to know what others think.

I agree with Tony that the framing of the first is too tight, and I am not sure if further cropping and making the trunk more prominent would improve it. Of the trees, I feel the last one is the best though I would have gone for a minimalist approach and just have the tree and cloned out all other vegetation; while the second left me a bit confused, but I guessed the intention was to capture your immediate environment and the need for hot nourishment so I assumed it is a record of the hard conditions endured/enjoyed by the photographer (it takes courage). I like the waterfall picture, but found the red jacket demanding too much attention. So, I reached the conclusion that the Opera House pano is the one I liked it best because it portraits a multi-million views and a moody weather. :up:

The composition of the first image is intriguing....and is difficult to to appreciate at its small, posted size. But when you enlarge the image then it opens up and gains a power and grace that befits a Japenese master work. This image would be breathtaking if printed very large. Beautiful work Gerry......But the last image is my favourite. A master work and worthy of a gallery wall.

you do capture beautiful images. I am tossing between the first and the last. I think the first, but it seem crowded

Second, third and fifth are sublime. The bloke in the second adds another point of interest in an otherwise superb waterfall shot.

yeah your right i think too, i have a bunch from this tree - i'll post a couple of variations when i get a minute, but that was my though too, this particular frame seems a bit unbalanced and just a little too tight, i think a version slightly wider to get those upper limbs in and keep the lines would be better.

I have a option with a really tight crop on teh trunk, that seems to work ok since there is plenty of colour and lines all moving in the right direction :)
The one with the stove is just a shot i always do, in this case there is actually a beautiful view down into the valley from this point, however the snow never let up so the view was not to be had by the camera :)
Thanks Zafra, always appreciate your views and comments.

That is its saving grace, the detail on the larger res really makes it sing :) Thanks Matt :)
