Wowwwwww, how beautifully seen and composed, Amr! Wonderful blue colour as well, that really makes the image special. Best, Thomas.

Amr, I like this composition a lot, and also the graininess of the image. Looks like a play between order and disorder...

Wow, that is a very very good cat portrait. To me she doesn't look at all like resting - staring attentively into the distance and ready to act any moment now!

Now that's a sunset. I really like the way you got those light rays radiating out of the center. Great image & thanks for your comment.

Amr, great that you like it  It's actually taken from the bottom of the tree, pointing upwards. The point being that these trees are unusual, since they are not "straight" but look more like giant corkscrews

That's a very good exposure, and the light is just great. You've obviously waited for the right moment.

Amr, I think it is amazing how you manage to get something unique out of these street shots that would turn out to be completely boring if I did them . Well done, bravo. The partial desaturation works particularly well here.

Now, that's an unusual image of the Golden Gate Bridge. Very nice and moody. I would maybe try to crop it a bit, getting rid of the too black foreground.

Very interesting message, Amr. Life in decline. Have you tried cropping to cut off a bit of the white sky?

Parvin, are you scanning from the slide or from a print? I assume a proper slide/negative scanner should be able to do better.

Very good composition and exposure! I guess I get what you mean, but the people are a bit too far away to convey that feeling. Nevertheless, wonderful shot. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your comment.

Jeroen, are you implying that flash would have helped in this situation? If I was close enough to a bear to use my flash, I'd be terrified :-) Even so, it's a great shot, and I like the blurred water from the long exposure.

Interesting effect; it's a shame the picture looks somewhat hazy. I assume the scan doesn't do the slide any justice!?

Khaled, another impressive b/w from you! I did at first think it was a little dark, as others have said, but on the other hand I really like the strong contrast especially with his white beard and skarf. I guess you could only have brought some light into his eyes by changing the angle - but the angle you have chosen is just great.

Romy, what a nice idea, and what a great result! The lonely cowboy For some reason I even think that the little twig on the right hand side adds to the image.

What a great idea, making her pose between the clock (very symbolic...) and the painting of the young girl she must have been once. Great shot.

Isn't it funny (and a shame) that those lions always seem to be in the shadow when you finally get there  Nice shot, interesting cropping.

Hi Alison, I'm still trying to figure out whether I should be pleased or not that my namesake is a turtle :-) It's a great composition! Did you try shooting it from the other side, though? Great to see that your focussing seems to work better now. Although I think the focus point might actually be slightly before the little chap - or am I wrong? Try to put the eyes into focus with highest priority in this kind of setup.

A great first, welcome! The lightning is absolutely great, and I like the way it renders the streetlamp very vividly, while reducing the trees to mere two-dimensional shadows.

Hehe, a great variant of that famous photo taken in one of the towers of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona :-) Yours seems to be an even better spot because of the see-through metallic spiral. Well captured.
