Yes. It is rather marvellous.

Very interesting series; immediately drew my eye. I initially thought this was astro-photography, but to hear it's bubbles (really?) makes it even better - original and well presented.

Irretrievable the Gray's palm finally documented.

Jack Vance would be proud.

Truly, I must disagree with Larry.

The image is charming precisely *because* it is not sharpened. It has a.. Fuji Velvia feel to it, endearing, wistful and authentic. Indeed, like any worthwhile November memory, it silences your eyes with soft sweeps of bittersweet light. A most appreciative nod to Ramon for recognising this.

You know, there was something about this image of yours that caught my eye (composition, colour, trees). And something about it that, after having opened it, started to annoyingly poke at it. Over-sharpened, and so very *green*, I felt it needed a little smooth autumn magic. 

:)

Impeccable white(s).

As a graphical experiment, the result is decent.

In what the -pow- distinction is concerned, this is a rather ridiculous choice, which I can only interpret as a bizarre glitch in an otherwise consistent, if not elitist search&selection system.

Both the visual and narrative quality of the photo are mediocre - especially the boy's reflection is poorly rendered, leaving the viewer disappointed, as that reflection constitutes the (mental) focal point of the image as a whole.

Disappointing.

I'm quite sure Borges himself would have smiled at this concept -- visually or not, he'd have smiled. :)

Balanced and pastoral shot, indeed - a good opportunity, well grasped.

As for the blown highlights.. I don't think that fixing them would ruin the mood. On the contrary, your eye has a better dynamic range than the camera-sensor, so I wouldn't stick to such a conservatory approach to post-processing, especially in this case.

I like this folder - insightful. Might not be as 'aesthetic' as a sunset through an L-lense, but it's definitely more creative. Follow this path :)

cute fellow :)

The image has something raw, primeval to it - like reality seen through the eyes of a sea-creature. Considering this, the perhaps sketchy quality of it doesn't bother me at all. Interesting.

I think you've overcooked (saturated) it a bit. Otherwise, good composition.

It's definitely an interesting and technically provoking shot. I'm not sure how well it resembles that classical velvia look you aimed for (it still seems quite 'digital', especially when viewed large), but considering it's a long exposure stitching result (I bet it was a very cold morning, too), the result is rather impressive. White balance is especially interesting and difficult to achieve (so many shades of blue, yet the railings is white).

An altogether inspired composition.

I wouldn't call this urban. It's timeless and nostalgically Arabic. Good capture.

I can't go over a lady bug shot without smiling and feeling some sort of naive joy, simply by looking at this little creature and appreciating that someone took the time to capture it on camera - I think I've made tens of comments on similar shots, but I never get tired.

A minor technical remark: the leaf seems very sharp/in-focus, while the lady bug's a little blurred. I think I'd have liked it more the other way around. Anyhow, a cute image.

E meritoriu sa ai o imagine aparte, intr-o categorie asa de populara precum spiralele arhitecturale. Imi place mult compozitia si pozitia descentrata a vitraliului. Ar merita sa o mai rafinezi un pic in PS, cu Shadows/Highlights pe zonele putin arse.

A very.. spectral feeling to it; nicely conveyed.

Dupa mine, cadrul asta e foarte nereusit. Se adauga la banalitatea excesiv de contemporana a straielor domnisoarei, si la excesul cvasiprofesionist de lumina (si astfel de contrast), o postura care nu pare sa avantajeze modelul; acele coaste rivalizeaza puternic cu orice alt punct focal pe care l-ati fi putut urmari. La fel, micile cute de pe materialul albastrui din fundal, plus diferenta un pic prea mare de luminozitate sus/jos nu conving nicidecum privitorul/potentialul cumparator ca fotograful ar putea cu adevarat sa vanda un asa un cadru, sau ca altele ar putea diferi substantial.

This is an innovative idea, executed in a mediocre fashion. I think there are too many distractions/focal points built into the picture - firstly, why so many toys?! Also, this soft look and lack of a powerful contrast doesn't help the shot to be as striking as it should have been: it took me a few precious seconds to notice the syringe. The kid's face is also too camouflaged in the lower left corner. The woman's left foot also seems to be burned out - if this was intentional, I don't follow; if not, it needs to be corrected and the viewer's eyes need to be lured to the syringe.

Anyhow, I think you could take this and make it more powerful, if you would sit down in front of it for an extra half an hour. :)

A very pertinent introduction to why hippos shouldn't be taken lightly; good shot :).

Very picturesque, good panorama. Perhaps a lighter/smaller inner frame would have worked better.

What a story/message. The abandoned tub is morbid and well exposed. Clean work on the body, too. However, I don't think the first lower half of the collage blends in (at least from a lighting point of view) with the upper half; plus, the two are not balanced enough, too many elements seem to draw, strain my eyes downwards.

An inspired composition - it has a very 'Prague' air to it, fluent and balanced. I'd have liked it more without the people, but you can always call me a misanthrope. ;)
