I like the trees in the first one - all the branches look great. Were you going with the rule of thirds for the path? Sometimes it works to break the rule - i'd prefer to see the path in the middle of the frame, leading you through the trees on either side.
My favourite is the boats on the lake. All your lake photos are so beautiful - you must go on the perfect days. The overcast sky works really well & I love the colour & reflection. It looks so calm & peaceful.
The clouds are great - i love the strong contrasts in it.
With the slug, getting down closer to the ground would work well too (but I like getting down to the subjects level :) This one could have been good for the "lines" topic too :)
Thanks guys! I definitely agree about the path in the middle. I think it is a bit unbalanced the way it is. The reason I did it on the side is because there were traffic lights further to the right that shone through. not good. I tried using the 'shade' setting in my white balance for this photo too and it made a huge difference. It really warmed the colours. With the clouds I shot into the sun to get those contrasts. I set the white balance to vivid + but I am not sure that made much difference. I thought about doing a line photo with multiple worms and their trails for lines but I never saw any. I saw this slug the day after the nature post outside my door. if I see more I will try some different angles. Sometimes I guess it might pay to just take photos and save them for when a topic comes up. It's a total fluke that the days I've been at the lake with my camera are totally overcast and grey. I'm glad though :)
My favorite is the boat picture too, it is very serene and i love the reflection. Reflections would be a cool topic to do sometime. :) The slug shot is great too, especially since you took it without a macro lens. If you did take it with a macro you could have really zoomed in and have taken a close up shot that gives the "ooh, gross" reaction even more.
I see what you mean with the tree shot being a little out of balance, but i still like it a lot. That is neat you have a "shade" setting on your camera. I should look to see if mine has one too. :)

I love each of these photos. Don't know which is my favourite. I love the colour and reflection in the lake and the 'mood' of the clouds.
Thanks guys!

Must be a good photo of the slug because it makes me go 'eeeck!'
The trees are lovely. I really like the feel of the picture. Canberra winter day summed up nicely.

Ah, it is much better than if you could see traffic lights in it :) good visual cropping!
A lot of the time I have my white balance set to cloudy, to get a warmer tone to my photos.
3 very peaceful picutures - nice!
