Hello Beverley

I like the angled pov, & the fg stone arches nicely frame the bg stained glass window. Good lighting and sharpness. Tfs!

Salut Jean

I took a similar shot at the exact same spot. Brings back nice memories. Fantastic shot from Oia. The salmon pink belltower contrasts well with the blue sea. Merci pour ce partage.

Bonjour Jean

The gazelle looks realistic. So much so that I thought someone should call the RSPCA! (Société protectrice des animaux). The fish, less so, but still a terrific work of art and all made with sand. Amazing! Tfs!

Hello Elaine

Another colour carnival costumed lady, with an elaborate headdress and lots of feathers! Fantastic colour, lighting and sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Alex

These amphorae appear to be prototypes of glass jars and bottles, which had already been developed by other ancient civilisations such as Egypt, but not by most of Greece. I seem to recall the Minoans who traded with Egypt did have some surviving glass ornaments and bottles on display in Iraklion Museum. Good repetition and emphasised by the bg photo display. Tfs!

Hello Pavle

I like the textural contrasts between the upper wooden panel and the lower door, and also the warm cold colour tone shift. Good sharpness and shadow detail. Tfs!

Hallo Lars

A good daily life scene from Heidelberg depicting these enterprising street buskers and musicians. Excellent tight framing with no wasted space, and superb sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Krzysztof,

They had some of these at WWI combat zones at Brighton Beach in Gallipoli, Turkey. Worth preserving as a reminder of the war so that just maybe we don't have any more. Tfs!

Hello Paul,

Marvellous reflections with the pink waterlilies adding a nice splash of warm colour. Good sharpness and nice symmetrical framing with 2 towers and 2 large lampposts either side. Tfs!

Hello Silvio,

Th ornate frame is almost as impressive as the actual fresco of the musicians. A fine upward pov with good sharpness and lighting. Tfs!

Hi Ian

Impressive Aboriginal art from the Adelaide gallery. Wonderful pastiche of styles such as dot painting etc with vibrant colours. Excellent sharpness, lighting and framing. Tfs!

Hi Costantino

Good sharpness and plenty of breathing space between each of the 3 umbrellas. Looks like a nice spot to read a book or have a swim. Tfs!

Hello Pavle

Effective tight framing with good sharpness and the tilted postbox still containing mail long after the tenant has probably moved out or passed away. Tfs!

Hello Luciano,

These brightly coloured caterpillars are usually not good for birds or most other animals to eat. A good downward pov with excellent use of selective focus. Tfs!

Hello Jean

The colour of the sea at Cornwall compares very favourably with the Mediterranean. I once had someone from the North Sea area of northern France complain the colour of a shot of the sea from Greece was oversaturated. Obviously they only have the grey and sombre English Channel to compare with and probably had never been to any places where the sea really is this rich turquoise colour. Good perspective, colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Hallo Paul

This one looks good too. I saw the Gardens in Cordoba and they too are definitely worth a look. I like the elevated pov from the wall. Tfs!

Bonjour Pierre

I never would have picked this as a mosque. It is very unlike anything I saw in North Africa, the Middle East or South East Asia. Fantastic warm cold colour contrasts with good lighting and sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Lars

A cleverly constructed sculpture of the monkey with the mirror. No doubt the bishops from long ago ordered its removal but the original statue had a point that the bishops needed to self reflect occasionally otherwise they become detached from reality and become overly judgmental. Tfs!

Hello Alexandre,

A splendid underwater shot of the river fish and the water is co clear! I like the rippled patterns of the sunlight on the fg. Good colour and framing. Tfs!

Hi Ike

The blood red vintage car certainly stands out from its surroundings and contrasts well with the blue sky. Good sharpness and well framed and composed. Tfs!
