Strand 1

My Favorite, has to be seen large! a very nice equilibrium between the magic light of BG and the dark and lighted water area in the FG. There is an interesting form of dark and glowing curves in the FG. where the vegetations is decorating the edges. A nice blue cold hue in the middle is a good color ellement in the warm color palette.

Even the light at the BG is a strong ellement there is a subdued very quiet atmospher to the whole. Beautiful Seven. (The frame is a bit of a distaction to my taste.)

This is an example of an image that just brings me right into the scene. The technical is secondary to me to tha emotional feeling of being welcomed and ushered into someplace interesting and warm and inviting.

 

Seven, forgive me for being off topic, but I am taking off. I've done a lot of things here motivated by your example. Thanks for bringing a spirit to this enterprise that I will never forget.

An excellent photo with very beautiful lighting and composition. I like the dark shapes. Congrats !

Thanks for stopping by; I appreciate your sharing with me your thoughts and feelings on a moment of time.

Well, I'm sorry to learn of this because the one area of PN in constant need of improvement is the side to which you gave so much, Photo Critique. Five was an idea whose moment had come, as you must have gathered from the overwhelming support received.

I'm sure you have good reasons, Ben, and I respect them - but your friends and the site are the poorer! All the very best.
