Hahaha.. thank you Michael. And (very belated) happy new year!

Envy you, Sir. :)

I like the contrast of colors and how the roses stand out from the background--this is what I wanted to add to this post a LONG TIME AGO.. But the real reason I stopped by today is to wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!

Michael,

Wish you a nice holiday season, and a prosperous new year!

I was more inclined to the square format before, but became indecisive now.

Thank you very much for your comments. :)

but I will vote for this version.

Will there be a new Halloween post this year? :)

Yeah, it's been a while. Hope that you are well too.

Before the trip I ordered a variable ND filter and a nice traveler-type tripod, which were delivered only after I returned home!!! sigh... So I had to shoot it at f32. Luckily it was rainy so I could get the water flows in this.

I will show you the result with the new filter (plus the tripod) sooner or later. :)

Thank you very much for your positive comments!

Thank you very much for your positive comments. Surely I debated for a while about the overall brightness of this photo, but decided not to brighten too much.

Michael and Ken,

Sorry about my silence. I have been inactive for a while, making a few adjustments in my life. Hopefully I can come back more often than in the past two years! :)

Thank you for the explanation. The whole scene was distorted with consistency, and each part was seamlessly stitched to the rest, so I thought you may have added extra distortions. Anyway, amazing!

Wonderfully done! I wonder how you corrected for distortions and perspectives?

Haha, makes me smile!

Congratulations! I wonder how it would look if you shot in a different time of a day, when the contrast is not as strong as in the current photo. HDR, as others say, would be a solution but sometimes HDR pictures look a bit unnatural to my eyes- although HDRs have their own merits.

I prefer this B&W to the color (which is a rare case)!

By the way, how does the armadillo taste?
