On the other hand, I take the opposite view. I really like the way the blank background gives the feeling of the colourful fox being all alone in a winter wilderness - and that would be lost in a crop. Plenty to be said for dead space!
As I get older I love to take pics of the quirky/crazy side of life. Here's one taken earlier today at Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. Yes, the views of the city are amazing from here, but the positions and poses that tourists were getting into I found far more interesting

A bit muted, Devil's Dyke last Friday.

Thank you! Makes one think twice about squashing the blasted things. They really have beauty in their own way.My sort of photo that. Lovely!

I've taken photos of Blue-bottles in the past. Horrible things, but incredibly beautiful, basically, the opposite of me!
Looking West. Faversham is over the hill (rather like the photographer).
Is the sun setting on the photographer too?

Not awoke
After so many rainy days it was so nice to have the sun out for the majority of the day

Not the greatest quality photos but spotted this lovely chap outside the 24 hour booze shop on Church Rd and also peering into our catflap (we don’t have a cat). Very friendly and curious. Do you think it's the same fox? Both locations very close by.

Call me a foxist, but they all look the same to me!

If I didn’t know where it was, I would have said it was somewhere really nice!

I don't think it is... There are a couple of spots on one nose which aren't on the other ones...

I've just bought the beautiful new Fujifilm X100 VI. I've seen a couple of mentions of the X100 system here before but wondering if there are other enthusiasts.
For anyone unaware these cameras can be very hard to get hold of with waiting times sometimes stretching into years. Even though I missed the announcement of the new version by more than a week, through sheer luck I checked Argos within moments of them releasing their tiny allocation, and managed to get one!
I picked it up today and it's a thing of beauty. I've got interested in street photography recently and this looks like the ideal companion. I'm still getting to grips with the thing, which is totally different from the menu-driven, all-electronic DSLRs we've been using for years. I will be watching a few more YouTube videos before venturing out.

Excellent street photography, well done. You certainly 'captured the moment'.

I'd like one of those. For the moment the nearest camera I have to that is Fuji x-t200 which is very small and with a pancake lens, almost the same size as the x-100v. They are indeed very hard to get hold of, a friend of mine, a cinematographer, told me she had one a few years ago, fell in the sea and it was useless to her. She put it on eBay and was stunned that someone paid 600 pounds for it. We will enjoy seeing your pictures as you get to grips with it!
