My favourites are 3, 4, 6 & 7. Brilliant!!
There's a spot on the mid left section of 6 (bird) that I find distracting.
I like #2, it be a pity the sky is burnt out at the top right of image, very beautiful all the same!
#5 lacks interest for me.. it seems very cluttered without any main focus.

I like nuber 3 ....... just wonder if it might benifit from seeing the foot face in the opposite direction?? (i.e. - toes to the top of the image)

I dont know why that mught work ........ just a thought ...... :P

Thanks for the feedback - just a few responses:

The sky in the 2nd picture isn't so much burnt out as it is hazy: it wasn't a clear view that day and so I tried to reduce the haze as much as I could in LR, which resulted in the sky's highlights coming out strongly.

I've tried inverting the footprint image, but it looks better that way round I think.

There's a dust spot on my sensor, which has been there for a few months now - I think it's time to get it cleaned! Any recommendations of places in Dublin to do this cheaply?

It is a great place to go for a week. I was staying in Coralejo but the highlight of the week was renting a car for a day and driving down to Jandia beach (awesome waves - brilliant fun) on the FV2 road and coming back up to Coralejo on the mountain roads on the West of the island. The scenery up there is amazing and the driving is great fun.

Yeah really looking forward to it, stayed in Caleta de Fuste which is a lot quieter and next to the main town. Sister in law owns a villa over there so we're staying there but we stayed in a hotel before too. Second honeymoon though cos last year when we went for our honeymoon the passports and money were stolen. There are some gorgeous shots but I'd say some of the run down areas would make for good shots too. Spent the whole of last holiday drunk so might take a good trip around this time. Only going for 5 days.
