no me malinterpretes, no pretendo ser desagradable...

Carmen, la foto estᠤesenfocada, o debo ir al oculista?

Excelente Guillermo, y un procesado estupendo.

I took this picture while waiting for my daughter to finish her

piano class. We tend to take the sea for granted here, and I had

never thought of it as a subject for my photography -I think I might

change my mind...

Ian, on the island we have some huge lizards, but this little fellow is tiny, only about 15 cm long -including his tail.

We have plenty of these in our garden, but I had not realized

exactly how beautiful they actually were until I took some macro

shots.

Shot at night time in a lit swimming pool. My friend David posed

right under the water's surface. Shot on "black and white" camera

mode. No PS.

There was a rather nice blue cross-like reflection of the vase at

the top of its own shadow that has largely disappeared as I adjusted

brightness and contrast to create an all white background. Is there

any way I could keep both the white background and a more visible

blue reflection shining off the vase? -Please excuse my digital

ignorance.

There is an engaging melancholy timelessness to this picture that makes it difficult to take your eyes off it. The less obvious the beauty of a photograph is, the more long lasting its appeal, and in this case your picture's beauty is as evasive as it is certain. Congratulations, I think this is a classic.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the eye. The bird's expression is ambiguous enough to give the photograph lasting interest past the initial delight its composition and colours afford. Speaking generally now, I think most of your photographs share the same rigourous intent and careful consideration that you display in your commentaries: in both cases the results are usually pleasing and enlightening.

I think this is an excellent photograph. Congratulations.

Took it in my garden. This is the third of three pictures taken of

three different insects on the same flower over the space of an hour

last Friday morning.

Beautiful. Where did we go wrong after the Renaissance?

Nice idea, but background and foreground merge uncomfortably, and the general effect is a bit messy.
