I'm bit obessed by that golden ratio thing, so focus is at lower left crossing of the imaginary lines.

But I should of been photographing more along the ladders and perhaps put some interesting detail like those branch cut off things to golden intersection, however I did practise only light and adjusting level of light by EV adjustment at aperture auto mode, using spot metering, some other methering method would of been much better of course, but I doubt it would of been able to put light way I wanted to, so it was easier to use spot and do adjustment so that it is nearly burning, but not quite.

Lately I have been taking photos so that sun is at front, it is 'wrong' but it does give some quite nice results, but it is quite difficult to nail.

Cool, bit of an overkill on the green in photoshop but otherwise - some nice effects.

Spot on chap, 5 or 6 ragwort plants been left to grow in a mates garden and each was covered with them. Not something I think I've seen before today, the moth itself looks interesting, I may have confused it with a butterfly previously but can't think of a spot of one.

I think that must be full, top part contains air mix with vapor from liquid, if top part would be empty, it would contain nothing so it would be vacuum there :D
