Filters just a tools... Tools in right hands do some think unique... You have it both and I do enjoy what you are presenting here!

With all my best,

Grigoriy

Thank you for your support, Grigoriy!

That theme was resolved on the previous  meeting, ha!

Cheers to that

Pierre,

I think it was very beautiful and romantic cafe on the water with colorful walls and with fantastic view of the mountains and the sea. Even the abandoned it still looks beautiful. Excellent image! You have my 7! 

Thank you very much for visit my site.

Best regards, Tina

Wow! Pierre! With your magic touch you've converted an ordinary scene into an extraordinary piece of art! Great job.

Best regards, Ajay.

Dear Tina,

I was yearning for your sevens while you were in Europe and you came to me at last with your romantic comment and so much desired seven!

You made my day!

Cheers to that

Welcome and thank you, Ajay!

It wasn't exactly and ordinary scene, but you are right about my genial touch with my Topaz imaginary brush!

Dear Pierre, let us go to that forlorn place, it seems that long ago there was music, illuminations, all crowded. It seems it was a pleasure resort.

In the centre there's something like a bandstand and one realises that this image means to convey a certain musical impression or pleasure, something that is sweet to our senses.

Colours are very stunning, many different tones and a wide range all together in a very small place. I think that this image would have worked well in monochrome, too. Two or three tones for all.

I try to recreate in my mind a sunset in this place, it must be very lovely and I would have liked to see this place with a low light, just a sunset... and lights and colours from that time of the day, entering through glasses of windows, maybe?

Kindest regards, Laura.

Dear Laura,

Is this your diplomatic way to return me for my not so good critique on your latest! I have here only one another version of the same photo and it isn't B&W!

I think I have tried, though to add a sun in the empty space on the upper left, obviously it didn't go for I can't find such version in my home portfolio of 33000 pictures!

Thank you for your suggestive comment

Un abrazo fuerte

Dear Pierre, I think your critique in my last image, is very good. I like it and appreciate it. If all were praises ... what are we supposed to learn ?, do we know everything ?, no ... just a few know everything and we're not professionals. I have no team working for me and my ideas and I don't sit making photos with a Hasselblad :)

We are all learning, we're restless souls who seek to give a shape to life's beauty  and a meaning to our surroundings through photography.

A harmful critique is quickly noticed, a good and constructive critique stands proudly by itself due to its value. I try to always write the latter ones, at least I try...

I've looked at your other version in the link you give, it looks better in relation to the part of the pillars that rise the building on water, here you've losen the simplicity of these pillars. With a sun? ummmm... My experience tells me that although sometimes I add things and objects, but the more you can get in situ at the spot and moment of the shot, the better ...

I do like your work ... I encourage you to continue doing many things. I would comment more, to more photos in general but I need time to work on mine. Thanks for everything, Reading you it's a pleasure.

Kindest regards, Laura.

Dear Laura,

I think the other version (and the original) don't have the simplicity of this one, after all the filter I used here is called "simplify"!

Thank you for teaching me a lesson about critique!

And thank you for telling me that my critique was very good for you, a stone fell of my heart...and broke my foot, ha!

Cheers to that

Muchas abrazos fuertes

Very happy colors in your series of abandoned buildings and structures! Love that colorful reflection. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you very much, Trisha!

Mi piacciono molto queste versioni pittoriche, mi ricordano lo stile dei "macchiaioli".

Magie digitali!!

I really like these pictorial versions, remind me of the style of the "Macchiaioli".

Magie digital !!

Thank you very much, Maurizio!

Wonderful!!

Thank you, Alberto!

Un abrazo fuerte!

Thank you, Jorge!

No place for philosophizing here? Come on, use your rich imagination, compadre!

Saludos cordiales!

PDE

very nice work with water!

I am back from travels, but still have more than 400 unread EMails so it will take some time till I am fully back on the internet. With new computer now!

Welcome and thank you, Maria!

I have on three accounts empty inbox, on two of them not even spam! And I'm happy!

Cheers to that
