Something fishy about them, Julian. But setting that firmly aside, I love the first. It's not just the framing, but that crack in the side frame, which really makes it for me. And the eye in the third. Shiver me timbers.

 

[Pete Askew]

Another fabulous set, Julian but, like Rob, the first is the stand-out image for me. And I think the framing (in all respects) works so well with this one. And the colours etc are wonderful.

Thanks Rob. Yes on reflection the last image is a bit naff. I'd had previous ones of a similar nature which worked well, I mistakenly tried a repeat, and failed. A lesson though.

Thanks Pete. I took quite a few pics and could not resist posting so many I got indigestion, especially with the last one.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I do like the first one, but also the last one as the two different colours do something to me which I can't explain.

1 and 3 for me as well with 1 being the absolute stand out, Julian. Beauty!
