"Fish Don't Mind Rain" is a fabulous shot. Probably my favorite shot you've posted on this board. I love the arrangement of the boats and colors. The guy with the umbrella really adds interest, context and story to the shot.

If I had to nitpick one thing, it would be the centered horizon. But it really doesn't bother me in this shot. You don't need more foreground or more background, it's well balanced in my opinion.

I like "A Cool Mist." A nice foreground and you gave us the mountains while keeping the dull gray sky there but minimal. I like the line of the street with the couple walking with umbrellas.

The others are nice. Well done, but not really anything that wows me. But that's a personal thing. There's nothing necessarily wrong with them, just not my style.

I passed this up a few times, because I wasnt sure if they would be to big for my dial-up,(Didnt see a KF or not KF to be sure).
So I took a chance and they did fine.
I to will agree with Stig on this one in saying these are some of the best you have posted IMO, but there our agreements end.

1. Fish dont mind rain- I really like this one, and the only thing I can nit pic would be I would have liked to have seen just a wee bit more foreground, but thats a personal taste and does not detract from the photo at all, a very well done shot.

2.Prayers in the wind- I like that its not centered, and although it does not grab me as a photo, its well done.
The only thing that bothers me is the flag at the top. I understand why you cropped it like that, and its works best like that, but I would have cloned that top flag out, instead of just leaving it hanging in the air like that, but thats a personal taste issue again.

3.A cool mist- Its a great shot and I cant nit pic it, its just not my thing, but again its a matter of personal taste and not the photo itself.

4.Off to eternity- I really like this one, and were you focused at is dead on, this photo grips me.

5.Our fleeting hopes and dreams-Again I really like this one, but I am always drawn to the darker photos.

I really had no idea whether they were KF or not, so I avoided the label. Good to know they are now though. Thanks for the comments everyone. Always grateful for a place to get some decent feedback.
