Absolutely agree with Walter. This definitely has something of a stained glass church window. The softness actually does add to the ethereal character of the image.
Great work.

Like your smoke series, and glad you chose this kind of open framing here. In some of the closed frames it looks like you're "trapping" the smoke in a box, which really goes against it's nature. I'd probably crop out the loose bit white bit at the top, which seems "rough" compared to the round shapes, but other than that, you did some really nice work on this one.

The cropping on the left and at the bottom could probably be a bit tighter, which should bring out the blue of the big stone even more strongly and eliminate the black "triangular" shape in the top left section, which seems to be the only "hard" geometrical figure in the entire image.
Other than that this is one of the most soothing photographs I have seen in a long while and I just love the different blue tones and the round shapes. Definite desktop background candidate for stressful times ;)

B/W conversion. Any feedback welcome. Thanks for looking :)

Like this a lot. There aren't that many pictures on here with a sense of humour, so it stands out even more.
One suggestion about the composition though: Because of the reflection in the top part and the bright orange part, the first time I saw the picture, my brain took a while to compute, as those elements distract from the scene. If you crop the image above the naval, you still maintain the elements that make the situation, but give them more weight.
Kind regards,
Nick

Nice one, Alex.
(Despite the fact that it reminds me of maths at school - especially the STOP written on the road ;)

Not sure I want to title this. What do you see here?

Wondering if the bright patch of sky should be cropped out.
Comments/suggestions welcome.

Very interesting piece.

The scene is great, but personally I find it a bit pale. Upping the contrast and saturation a little would bring out the dramatic sky and the texture of the field more, which both take an important part of the photograph.

Great colors/tones and the mood between menacing and tranquil works really well.

Distortion works with the subject in creating opposed directions of
the old part of la Valetta and new developments on the shore. From the
direction of the tree, you can see which way the wind is blowing.

View large. Ice crystals in a frame of warm toned leaves. Enjoy. :)

The tones of a snowless winter. Enjoy :)

Love the contrast, the play of lines and the subject and the only thing I'm undecided about is whether there aren't actually two photographs in one here. This is because at the moment, it feels like the whole image wants to drop to the left, as the shadows seem to have too much "weight" compared to the sky and want to pull the ground from under the carriage.
The first "heavier" image starts at the bottom and includes the shadows and ends at the top of the diagonally dropping strong white cloud on the left. The second and "lighter" one starts at the top of your photograph and ends slightly below the bottom of the left wheel. Image one draws its dynamics from the lines in the sky, image two draws it from the shadows of the waggon.
Hope this makes some sort of sense. :)

Maybe the chains could have been worked a bit more in the top part of the image (especially to bring out the lock) but I really like this one - would make a nice album cover.

Do you prefer the negative or the original. Thanks in advance for your
feedback. :)

Looking back at this I think I went a bit over the top on the contrast
side. I still like the added dynamic with regards to the lines and
shapes but was wondering what other people think.
Cheers,
