This week winter really hit Spain. No snow in Alicante, but it did get cold 
(daytime highs around 10C, nighttime lows 3-5C) and rainy. So I had to make 
the most of the windows of decent weather, and otherwise concentrate on 
indoor subjects like se?oritas:

Hi Nathan,
Another fine eyed walk? Cycle? set of photos. :-) You know I'm not a big fan 
of peeling paint, rocks and ferns and non-breathing things. However in your 
case? :-)

When you shoot them you capture interesting photo moments. I like the hole 
in the fence for it's simplicity, content and composition. It isn't just a 
grab, it's a carefully composed photo. And that's what sorts out many of 
your images from some other photogs that look like a P&S grab exposure.

The rainbow isn't a "Wow look at the rainbow out at sea and a quick click of 
sea and rainbow!" It's a composed image with the land mass on the right that 
makes it a photograph instead of an exposed recording. Most often it's the 
"little bits" that make yours interesting photographs.
cheers,
ted
