Omur...great sense of humor! I find I am often captured by the title as much as the photo. This is a great catch...seems a bit soft on the focus but the colors are nice. I would have liked to get closer to the three to see if I could hear the story too....what do you think?

...or, Zoro the Duck. This guy is pretty interesting. Great crop to the most interesting part of his character, his face. The color calls us to look at the thumbnail. Looks like a messy eater. Crisp and well viewed. Great job.

Erhan: Very exciting place to start sharing. Welcome. This is an impressive statue and I think he would look better by himself rather than sharing the spotlight with St. Michael...or perhaps you meant to photo St. Michael? The eye wants one place to rest and reflect. The light and dof are great...keep working on it. It is fun to learn and see from other's eyes.

Alberto - beautiful vision...and use of the sepia was an excellent choice. It has a softness and quietness which has great emotional appeal. Nicely captured.

I am always curious about interesting sites like this. Where are they? More of the story as photos like this speak to our emotions. The colors are lovely and soft. The beam of light on the tree might be a bit bright but this is a very appealing picture.

Ah..the beautiful Manarola! The Cinque Terre is an amazing place and this is a wonderful shot manipulated with ps. The colors and point of view is great. Thanks for the reminder.

Karen: This is stunning. .....green as opposed to brave, huh? I seems from your notes that this is just natural light and tho it is white you did a fine job of keeping the white from burning out. Your camera sure takes a crisp macro....I envy that. You have a fine eye...good job on this one.

Samantha: This picture does give a sense of bleakness however if you are talking about the window I think I would like to see more of it and less of the bush. The bush adds good texture and another sense of barrenness but the window should be the centerpiece I think.

Precious! What a sweet photo and well lit too. How do you get a child so small to do what you want or do you spend hours waiting for her to do something cute? Darling.

Helena...this is beautiful. Sometimes one thinks they have seen it all and start to get tired of same thing and poof someone comes along with something creative and it gets the old thought process jazzed again. This is so appealing because of the composition of the pieces; just the shape and edges on the pieces; and that incredible patina on the face. Bravo

What a beautiful face! I'll bet everyone loves him...you can tell in the eyes about kindness and happiness. You have done a great capture, however one nit would be the shadow and sun in his face. It makes him look dalmation-like and detracts from just enjoying that smile.

Your work here is amazing, but I for one would like to know more about it. There is a story that you were trying to tell...what was it? Some art needs no explaination some is enhanced by an explaination. This is an astonishing image.

Jerzy: Great window and colors. If I had a suggestion it would be to photograph it moved more to the left so that the shadow has less importance and the light is on the wall which has the color and texture. Hard to change the vista thru the window but it focused a bit fuzzy on my screen. Would there be a way to sharpen that or "fake" it by putting something else there as a "view"? Just a thought.

Charming...that's how I feel about my brother sometimes....lol. Thank you for the notes about this picture it enhances the view to understand the setting and occasion. I appreciate how you composed this to have the view move from left to right and how you were able to focus close enough to capture the emotion. I would not mess with this guy. Very nicely done.

I'd walk miles for a lighthouse! This one is wonderfully composed ass it looks like there is a fence around it which you have hidden with the sea grass. Beautiful day didn't hurt. I think I would have tried to clone out the roof of the house attached as well as the bit of fence...but maybe that is just taste.

Wonderful composition and original idea. I would hate to be the models, but oh well. That you composed it around the pillar/wall which has the same colors is wonderful as is the dark behind the 2nd model. Something seems out of balance..and maybe it is the distance between the two models. They seem out of relationship as if they would be two separate shots. I would like to see them in greater proximity with a reason to be together. Does that make sense.

It brings new meaning to the words "born again"..almost looks like a womb and that he is hiding for shelter from the wind or heat or whatever. Safe little lamb. Very appealing picture...first rule of photography...don't go anywhere w/o your camera and equip. lol...have been there done that.

I always wonder about what the photographer has to endure to get these shots. This is extraodinary with the force of the wind and the color of the sunset...orwhatever....great warm colors. The spray just adds to the feeling of the picture. GREAT CAPTURE. Bet you had to go home and dry off. lol

Digital Art. Of course living in winter climate and hoping for spring I don't want to see more snow but this is very emotionally eye catching. I can feel the bitter wind and the dark skies getting ready to dump more. The color is true to the feeling of cold. I think your style of digitizing it is done well and enhances what already was a great photo.

Verna: This is a beautiful shot and you are right, she is glowing. The one thing that bothered me a bit is the veil behind the eyelash. I noticed later from the other posts that someone else noticed that too. Eyes are so important in portraits especially when they are profiles I too think that if that was cloned out the photo would have greater impact. Just a thought.

Very beautifully posed. I didn't notice until I enlarged the thumbnail the small bit of a knee in jeans as part of the photo. Some-how that made what looks like a more formal pose a little bit casual. The feeling is very endearing...beautiful child; nicely posed; great tones. Enjoyed seeing it.

Jorge: What stunning colors! Could this be a Swedish Castle...teehee the colors would be perfect. Must be in Spain or Portugal. How can you go wrong? I like the fact that you used a diagonal line to place the castle in the left two thirds of the photo and then left the sky to complete the balance. Very striking photo.

Thanks everyone. This was my first post and has been gratifying because people have written. I appreciate it especially since I have seen some of your work. Roland, this was a Sunday morning with the "girls" and we drove by this Best Buy store and voila....big blue wall. How could I resist? We went back to the house and got hats and jackets and here is one of several I took that morning. Was a hoot. Should have seen all the people watching while they waited for the store to open. You'd think we were from Glamour or something. teehee.

Michael. Amazing light and well captured. This has great emotional appeal and the two smaller trees balance the strong trunk of the tree on the right. Having the strongest light fall between those two just anchors the whole piece to the earth.

p.s. If I had a nit it would have been that the bottom of the chain is cut off and it looks from the loop to be very close so maybe could have been included. Forgot to add that before.
