The light is almost like a 17th century painting.

Very special!

The bars, the light in the centre and the eye contact make this a special picture.

Not an easy shot with the two different skin tones.

Well done!

From all your droplet photos this is my favourite, due to the magnification effect and the direction of the lines of the feather.

This image stands out from the rest of the Venice shots I've seen. Well done!

I don't think this shot works in B/W, and I doubt it would do so in colour. Seems to me a normal image with the contrast turned up in Photoshop.

Bad vignetting too.

I would prefer to see the scene in its original form, or as silhouette, but with a real sunset situation.

Indeed very original. Well done!

Excellent timing. Quite a funny picture actually.

Well done!

How did you get so close?

The IS seems to do its work properly.

Could you share your experience with this lens with us?

Keep your images small, and upload on quiet times.

This size is fine, but the rest of your pictures are way to big for a normal browser. 600 pixels on the longest side is a good rule of thumb.

This shot has a nice composition and action feel, but is a little out of focus.

The face is much too dark. Use a fill in flash or reflection screen for this kind of situations (it also helps to correct the overexposed areas).

This tank in the Aquarium of Western Australia was full of blue

illuminated floating jelly fish. The slow movement allowed me to take

a few shots on a tripod with 1 second exposure time. I managed to get

this one without motion blur.

I could imagine that life on other planets could look like this...
