What an original composition, I do love the modern
urban art (grafitti). Your composition with steps is
very impressive and interesting. Love the dark tones
and monotone colours, very nice rusty surface,
Well captured and seen! Bravooo my friend! 7+++
Have a nice week end dear Fabrice!

Dear Marija, a wonderful image again. The composition and presentation are really well thought out. I love how well you controlled the different parts of the scene, the background and water are just perfect, the silhouettes are sharp and well defined.
A fav!!!

Wow, this is very disorienting at first because I feel like I am looking into a broken mirror, although. What I love about it most is the depth, how we are carried from one space to the next, and then out the window! One of my favorites. -Tim

nessa, again one of those fantastic radiant portraits you make, you likely have a secret to capture the light so well with no harsh contrast no much burned out areas. Wonderful portrait. Is it the characteristic of your Fuji supper CCD sensor that gives you the range? Cheers, NJ

excellent shot, great use of the grain in the picture. It looks like a prerafaelite, was that your intention? the lighting is very good, with the light falling in from the right and the candles lighting the frame on the left. The composition is also excellent. Well done! All the best, Marco.

A true jewel itself, Giuseppe, with the luminescence of the light shining through along with some reflected light. Amazing detail in the middle of the flower, and the background is appealing, with rich color and a little stippled look to it. A great capture, Giuseppe. Anson

Not easy to shoot these minuscule flower pods.
You did a great job here. Fantastic colours and effects. A favorite!!!!

Hej, what is this?? It is very great. It is not just a beauty of that moment, but it makes my imagination to driveall around and bring some ideas...It reminds me all those pictures of Saint people who I had seen as a small child, with strong light around theire bodies, it reminds me movies about aliens, it reminds me a sign of hope...even if u are lost there is still a light! YOur image makes alive old idealistic remembers in my head :)) But mostly, it is magical moment and very very great picture.

My first re-action also was to smile. As morten says, a very happy shot.
I did want to get a really good look up close, and for that, perhaps a bigger image would be nicer...
really enjoyed viewing this tho'

P.S. perhaps you could retrofit this models jacket to bring with you to 'the farm'...lol:)

Rob,
BTW, the purple band you have captured is often refered to as the Belt of Venus. It appears opposite the sun at sunrise and sunset. It is so named because Venus can be found there at those times when it is visible in the sky.

Interesting morning view of Mt Victoria. I like the lighted foreground pathway across the lake, leading the eye to the distant rockwall. The rocky foreground on the right is strong. A little weaker on the left. I might have cropped the left side to the point where the left mountain reaches the top edge of the photo.

Hi Phillip, your eye for composition is superb! I love that the grass has a little length and the tree is bare, and the little bird is trying to find shelter. It all looks very dramatic. Lots of texture. CC

This is a wonderful simplistic nature study sweetie and the pof and dof are superb. I love the toning to this and enjoyed reading the about which set the scene nicely. I have this vision of you crawling around the grasses in an attempt to avoid the attention of the cows. Saved a small boy....hmmmn....you ran, didn't you?

Great mood! We have similar winter landscape in Switzerland but still not easy to capture in such a perfect way. Symmetry is very important on the foreground and the asymmetry on the background delivers in the end a great shot!

Well done my favourite glass engineer!!! The B/W abstract is just perfect. The composition and play of refractions is well done and the result is optimum, as usual in your work.
The straight lines and curves create very interesting illusionary effects. The tonal range is broad and well distributed. I wonder how a little bit (more) of noise reduction would have affected the final product (maybe you like it this way).
With admiration...

Hi Guili,
Very original shot. It reminds me a picture I have seen in an exhibition with the same very limited depth of field. The only difference is that the photographer had real human beings instead of toys but in the end, with such effect, the human beings looked like toys...
Excellent shot! Congratulations,
Roland

I rarely get conflicted by photography, I either feel pretty warm or cold about it; this shot has some great elements, the detail of the butterfly wings,the vivid color of the wings and the pink "sponge" (what is that by the way?)they are sitting on, but the fronds in the background and all the variety of bright, contrasting colors make it busy and almost hard to look at for any length...maybe sensory overload is the way to describe it, but overall a intriguing photo.

Brenda this has beautiful color and tone and a wonderful minimalist composition - very sleek!
Your range of lighting from the left to the right side of the composition looks to be problematic but you seem to have handled it well as far as exposure . . .
One thing, in my opinion, that would help this shot along would be if the horizon line wasn't a centerline through the composition. Since the sky seems relatively free of drama . . . I would consider dropping the lower crop which comes very near to that wondrous tree reflection. If not possible due to outside influences . . . then I expand the sky upward. Just some thoughts of mine for your consideration . . .
This is a wonderful shot . . . I very much like it!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Hi Hugo - Let me first congratulate you with a great photograph, very well composed and great contrast between the texture & monochrome mood in the painting against the strong side-lighted face of the cardinal in full colour. Very well executed and a BIP well deserved.
I've read some of the comments above (not all though) and after a lot of thought and a hard re-look at the photo I would like to give my impression. The subject(s) of the image will bring different emotions to the fore, depending on your background (protestant/catholic etc.). I'm from a protestant viewpoint and looking at the picture I cannot help to be moved in a way by what I know of church history (inquisition etc.)as both of the subjects of the photo are in a way symbols of Roman Catholicism. Looking at the image from that viepoint will make me see no peace or tranquility in it.
The one aspect of the image that struck me though was the expression on the cardinals face, everything else is static, yet his expression seems to be alive. It is as if he asks a question and a profound one I think: Within and through the turmoil of history and the present circumstances around us - do you have peace and tranquility in yourself?!! That is something everyone needs to find for him/herself. We can try to find it in things, places, religion or through experiences, but if we don't have it within, it will fade as soon as those things changes! And its only through faith that we can get it because faith alone brings us before God who is bigger than anything in creation or what man can offer!
Thanks again for a thought provoking and chalenging image. Regards.
Joggie

It's a little soft, say her face, the front of the scale, and closest orange, other than her hand. That can be sharpened in software if one wished. But it's interesting because you are playing a repeated theme, and emphasizing it by the use of light; almost as if using spotlights. It's the A-frame composition, which is natural for the body. But it also natural for the scale. In addition, the placement of the oranges shows it, yet again, or at least extends the 'A' from both the child and the scale.
In addition, there is the report of what she is doing, suggesting innocence and curiosity. How many of these weights equal a banana and apple?
And of course, though reduced and unstated by your use of light, even the strip background (of a curved bureau?) shows an interesting texture. Everything seems to be there, in this photo, for a reason, in other words - which is a principle of a good photograph.

I'm not sure what I enjoy more.. the incredibly fun perspective, or the thought of you lying in the grass among the herd! That says everything about your passion, Hugo. You consistently seek out the unusual, and then NAIL the composition. I smile when admire your work...
