Although I am late to the party, Ian, I have not seen other comments, and
looked at the images before considering your own comments.
First image - crop out most of the foreground, a large dark area draws
attention away from the main subject. The image to my eyes is lacking in
saturation to justify the colours theme. The tree is, I think, too far to
the left for a pleasing composition, as it competes with the natural focus
of the foot of the hill, rather than counterbalancing the hill in the image.
14/20
Second image - I don't know what I am looking at! Is it the bird, the moon
or the hill? But well exposed! 12/20
Third image - crop out much of the lower cloud/mist area, which does little
to complement the colour, and perhaps distracts. Otherwise, it is well
produced to meet the criteria. 16/20 and maybe 18/20 when cropped.
But judges are usually wrong!

Subject: [OM] Would you enter these three images?
Having never entered a photographic competition, I am being pushed
reluctantly to have a go at the countryfile competition (in at the deep
end) - the theme is colours - but open to interpretation
This is a classic landscape shot - but although I like it I feel that
anyone could stop and take the same shot

I guess I should remove the litter in the bottom right hand corner.
Next is a bit more special I think as it involves timing and a bit more
difficult to reach location

the little spec is actually another bird but maybe it should be cloned out.
and finally this is a lot more unique due to the lighting and mist but I
would prefer the distant peaks to be clearer - but it was misty.

I have done a little cooking on the colour but feel its a bit different
and may stand out from the crowd.
Thoughts comments and critique would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance
