Congratulations fatsimon mk 2. Jack is a cute little chubby bundle.
Some great photos.

I won the Pro Car advertising last year.
Had a 2nd in another category.
Plus 5 commendations.
How hard can it be?!
that took me ages to figure out how to display!!
Wow, some cracking photos up there! I really like yours Crewlie and obviously _tom_'s one is fantastic. Most of them are great though.
This is the only one I've taken in ages that I really like:

Bruk - Really like that first one.
deleted, should be fixed now!
In fact, it needs a border. You have a lot of digitally obvious vignetting in the original and no need for the huge sky which detracts from the subject matter.
Two points about the first image:
1) turn the camera through 180 degrees as the shadow will then fall away [i]behind [/i]the man and not infront of him.
2) point the flash upwards if you can and bounce the flash, it'll make it much softer; better suited to the subject.

Ti29er - have I done something to upset you?! everyone else is getting nice comments, I don't think there's much wrong with my pics - certainly nothing offensive!
The thread is "show something you're proud of" and you're shooting me down! if it was a "what's wrong with my photography" thread - I'd maybe understand!
thought you might appreciate some professional feedback on how to move the photography forward.
The third picture is lovely, but the first two are technically very poor both in technique and / or composition.

Kind of a retort to stuartie_c's excellent chain picture (really like it). Not the same quality of image by a long shot but brought a tear to my eye.

Ti29er, I've seen your website, I feel much better now.
Nohands - that Dog shot is brilliant 😆

Wouldn't go as far as to say I am proud of these (especially after seeing some of the excellent pictures in this thread) but these are the ones i wasn't dissapointed with (rightly or wrongly). Some of these are just over 1 month ago i admit.
Constructive criticism and ways for improving shots welcomed bearing in mind i only have a compact digital camera.
sorry man, not constructive criticism but I think that 3rd photo is fantastic!
