Nice image, and the sand coming down makes it almost fluid looking, best regards, Karin.

Great nature abstract ! I really like the colors and tones and the subtle blues, best regards, Karin.

 

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments ! Much appreciated ! Best regards, Karin.

PS @Marco: no I am not Dutch, I am Belgian !

Excellent take ! Makes one want to be overthere in that balloon ! Best regards, Karin.

 

In the desert ghost town of Kolmanskop in southern Namibia time

has stood still since the moment its inhabitants - who were working in

the diamond mining industry - abandoned the place in the fifties of

the twentieth century.

Beautiful capture of the Karlskirche with nice warm tones! Best regards, Karin.

Wonderful work !

Best regards, Karin.

Great abstract with excellent colors, Sadegh !

Best regards, Karin.

Very well done ! I like the way the lines lead in, and add up to this wonderful composition. Nice and original cityscape ! Best regards, Karin.

Great "zen-like" abstract ! Best regards, Karin.

Very nice effect, Mark. I like the warm tones contrasted with the black silhouettes of the rocks on the beach. Best regards, Karin.

Really like this vertical landscape composition; in this way it has much of an abstract. Pleasing colortones and cloud paterns. Well done !   Best regards, Karin.

Gorgeous look, great capture ! Best regards, Karin.

 

Great capture ! Best regards, Karin.

Just discovered this one ! Very original and great abstract this is. Best regards, Karin

Congratulations with your winner here in the Wild Places category in the BBC WPY contest ! Best regards, Karin.

Really amazing capture: otherworldly to look at, and definitely the best I have ever seen of northern lights: this will become a classic ! Thanks so much for sharing. Best regards, Karin.

Thanks to you all for your comments and encouragement !

To Jeff, this is one shot for which I used a soft ND 0.9 on the right half of the image; I also darkened the upper right corner a little bit in post. I have more shots of the rock I called the curtain because it reminds me of one. For this one I focused on the tones in the late evening light reflecting the blue/green colors of the sea, and the black basalt sand beach. Best regards, and thanks again for your intrest in this work, Karin.

Good capture ! I like the backlighting around its head. Well done, best regards, Karin.

Very well done B&W toning. I like the way it accentuates its texture. Best regards, Karin.

Magnificent capture ! I agree with Theodore regarding the framing though: I suppose what bothers me a little bit is the fact that the circular contour of the owl seems to be slightly cut off at the lower end. Secondly, the yellow/orange structure to the left side of its head distracts some attention from its eyes: maybe you could tone that a bit down in post ? But let there be no misunderstanding: this is a great image to look at ! Best regards, Karin.

Wonderful capture. I especially like it a lot that the black trees were kept sharp despite the - intentional - vertical blurification, which gives the image a very impressionistic look. Very well executed. Best regards, Karin.

Spectacular b&w capture ! Best regards, Karin.

Hi Sadegh,

Warm tones and great curves in this reflection series, I really like the compositions a lot ! Best regards, Karin.

One of my first attempts at landscape photography: black basalt

beach on the southern coast of Iceland near Vik y Myrdal one late

evening in July. Looking forward to your comments. Best regards,

Karin.
