In praise of - professional photography.

Far be it from me to add another measley voice to the avalanche of derision which met the Duchess of Cambridge's holiday snaps ...

oh, go on then, they were pretty ropey weren't they? The seven scenic shots were taken during the royal couple's recent visit to Borneo and have now been released by Clarence House.

Most were landscape images taken from moving vehicles but, for me, the stand-out was a promising shot of an orangutan in a tree, marred by the fact the animal was in silhouette – in a missed opportunity as opposed to an arty kind of way.
