<li>Richard Lanthier: lovely scene, intriguing, cute</li>

</ul>

<p>In contrast to last week's billboard submission (hope it at least triggered some thoughts... Peter Rafle, thanks for your words), an Australian sunset.<br /><br /> Was hoping to post a pic from this week, but not interesting enough to share. Took my camera into a club last saturday, which was interesting and fun :) Not the best pics yet, i really need to start use and master flash...<br /><br />Anyway, here goes. Walpole area, SW Australia this winter. Travelling is great. Loved the clouds - and freedom!<br /> <img src="http://www.monkeyphysics.com/photos/DSC_0638.jpg" alt="" /><br /> <strong>D90, 18-200 VR @ 55mm, f9, 1/320, iso 200, -3 EV to get silhouettes and more colors of the sky</strong></p>

<p>Hey all,<br /><br />Following these threads for a few months now, I only just registered and this is my first submission. I live in Amsterdam, and winter finally seems to have given way to spring. Birds are busy and whistling again, people sit outside at bars, having a drink in the cold, fragile early spring sunshine.<br /><br /> I like harmonious images, organic, classical beauty. However, I wanted my first contribution to be taken on the day itself, and my most interesting picture of today shows the opposite.<br /><br /> American Apparel billboard in sharp contrast with the beautiful canal and houses in the background. Every day I ride my bike along the place to work. It's a lovely spot in Amsterdam; the majestic museum of the tropics is right behind me as I take this picture.<br /><br /> Contributions so far are excellent as always. Photos that I really liked so far:</p>

<ul>

<li>Thomas Gerstendoerfer (nice shot in low light, love the lighting and constrast)</li>

<li>Jeff Farkash (very appealing natural, happy setting; hard to capture these moments)</li>

<li>Doug Santo (seemingly simple shot, but it keeps drawing my attention; beautiful setting, and the distortion adds to the scene)</li>

</ul>
