Guido,

Nice, simple image rendered beautifully.

John,

Excellent photo-journalism image. Dirty, gritty, & edgy ... what you wanted. Again, well done.

Jeff,

I like the look of a painted effect on this. Works well with the color & texture of the leaves.

Gail,

Thanks for the comment. Long time no see. All be well & hope same for you.

Rick

Thank you all for your kind words.

Drew - Glad to see you around :)

Waning light on a cold late day. The effect is from a lensbaby with a

striated aperture disk.

Thanks Lynne, was a lucky shot

Thanks

Thanks Maurizio

Radu,

Stellar, lighting is wonderful, details crisp. Really like the background flowers, keeps the eye moving. Thanks for this one.

Rick

playful ...nice to see some humor for a change

Maurizio,

Saw this one on the scroll. Not a fan of nudes, but I am of dramatic lighting.  Your use of it really caught my eye. It has a sensuous Film Noir feel to it. Well done.

Rick

Javier,

Stellar image. Has a very Sci-Fi feel to it. Exposure for foreground to background - excellently done. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Lynne,

Nicely done. The subtlety gives a nostalgia-like feel to the image.

Rick

Thanks for taking the time to look & comment Tamara. It is always appreciated.

Lynne,

Exquisite. Soft, lovely tones. Great composition & framing. deatail spot on. Thanks for this one.

Rick

I was thinking it was more Ruben-esque. Rudolf, it is nice to see someone celebrating the body of an "regular" woman, & you have done it nicely. Good work.

Suzanne,

Lovely, soft tones of the background emphasizes your subject in a dramatic way. Framing spot on.  Excellent.

Richard - Thanks for taking the time to look & comment

Richard,

Majestic

Wish I could say more, but that really covers it.

Rick

Radu,

Lovely, subtle lighting. Detail is outstanding. Composition is nicely subdued, brings the focus to the drop. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Pierre,

Excellent work. You really captured/made your vision.  Limited bold color makes this stand out. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Alberto,

Great perspective shot. B&W was a good idea.  Minor suggestion - knock back a bit of the brightness in the background so we can see that great detail that you took.

Rick

Thanks John - I always wonder about internal frames. I like them, but ...
