Thanks everyone for entering, such a broad spectrum of images to choose from.
Tracey - Good catch lights in the eyes a stunning image beautifully shot, doing something out of the ordinary and left of the middle so to speak takes tremendous strengthened courage, perhaps something that i could not do.
John - People do not appreciate what the older generation did for this country and our freedom, and your story reiterates this. - a very personal record shot.
Andrew - What a beautiful shot!, three little angels eh?
Myra - Great family shot, well composed.
Dick - Good shot of your step daughter, perhaps a tighter crop may serve the image better.
Sue - Nice shot, but perhaps a little dark and a touch under exposed perhaps?
Keith - Good picture, HDR no doubt, original choice of subject matter
Tom - A great use of colour in the Israeli flag, however i feel this detracts from the image slightly, perhaps just toning down the blue and making it a touch softer would still retain the images impact?
Walter - Words so very true, beautifully shot, has a slight desaturated look which i feel complements the subject matter.
Lesley - Nice landscape shot, but unfortunately lacks clarity and is pixelated.
Terry - Good tonal ranges very rip and sharp expertly shot, a good record shot.
Pammie - A spontaneous picture, but unfortunately has excess noise.
Philip - interesting interpretation of pride, and such vivid colours.
