Thank you for stopping by Giangiorgio! - Aina

:)

Thanks Wayne! This little alley was just around the corner from where I lived for 6 months in Paris... Always wanted to photograph it & when that tree blossomed, that was the perfect time!

That is very true Saad, thank you for that very profound observation.... Aina

Thank you for the compliment Giangiorgio - I appreciate it very much indeed. Aina

Nature is the best designer we have I think. I never get tired of observing it...

Thank you for your multiple comments Wayne - I appreciate you stopping by to visit my stream. The real artist here, in my opinion, is the architect who foreshadowed this beautiful interplay of form, light & shade...

Vincent, thanks a lot for your kind comment. I love shooting with my smartphone as much as I love my Canon 7D :))). Thank you for stopping by my stream... Aina

Thank you Wayne for your +ve feedback. Who would have thought that the humble old iPhone could be used for things like this! That pano function is pretty amazing. I carry my Canon 7D & iPhone now to shoot pictures always...

The color combination and the framing are really esthetic.

I like the unusual combination of vertical and diagonal lines created by the tree trunks and branches. The moss on the branches makes them unexpectedly green also. Overall this is a striking image - the lighting is perfect.

Terrific set of textures in this image. Well spotted!

Great sense of speed you have created with that moving train. That and the sense of distance. The contrasting textures between the platform and the walls are also really interesting. Capital shot!

I can only echo the previous comments: beautiful clarity on that left bird and great composition overall. The vegetation in the beak adds a nice touch too.

Oh my, what wonderful framing you have achieved on this shot! This is a delightful image - the diagonal line of the bird and flower really have a lot of visual appeal. Congrats to you for catching this little guy: they are devilishly hard to catch out there, let alone in such an attractive shot as this one.
