This is a fantastic image Sebastian, from the crop to the b&w to the wonderful smile on your subject. Congratulations!

I saw Gino a few years ago playing with Paul Fenton. Memories...

Actually the crop is what attracted me to this image. It's very appealing and refreshing to see someone taking a risk. :)

Incredible! I love this shot and the fact that it was taken with one of my favourite lenses doesn't surprise me. Bravo!

I think this is also a great shot except for the blown highlights. Here is my down and dirty (no more than 2 minutes) attempt. Surely with more care a better result could be achieved but you get an idea of what could be. I hope you approve... :)

Hey, thanks Frank. Actually I didn't add any motion at all. The blur is mostly depth of field due to the wide open f/1.4 aperture. :)

Hey Alton, I figured since you polished some of my chrome I would return the favor. :)

Thank-you Asla and Alpo, I appreciate your comments. The image is of a birch tree of course, but it was a standing tree in the forest. I don't know where the scratches may have come from but perhaps it is from other tree branches blowing the wind.

This is on Queen St. W. in Toronto. There are many abandoned bikes on the street and these two just happened to look interesting. I am hoping to get back to Tadoussac this summer. It is very beautiful there. Thanks for looking...

The framing of this image is perfect. I don't usually like pet pics but this one has great appeal. :)

Hi Mark, I have fond memories of Tadoussac and the whale watching. How did you take this photo? Was this from one of the tour boats glass floors? Great shot!

This is a birch tree with the bark peeling off.

Fantastic capture!
