Nice picture, the eiffel tower is always a nice subject to photograph. And it is difficult to find an original view. In my opinion this picture is very nice because the eiffel tower is just a decor, not the main focus of the picture. I did a view of these myself and it works great. To put the persons in the foreground but not really eager to get on the photo is just great!

the old woman and the carving of the skull speak loudly. it is an implication of death looming. the direction that she is going, towards the darker side of the frame, reinforces that concept. the layering of the lines in the wall and the way the cobblestones go back into the darker side of the image create the illusion of movement in that direction.
i also really enjoy the line up of the gaze of the skull and the woman's gaze. it seems as if "death" is watching her...and she knows it. it has made her weary (from her posture) but she just keeps trudging along on her path, accepting of her fate.
very nice image.

Jose, my friend.........
Tami and I can feel the warm sunlight on our open sandles, as we lean back on our rooftop chaises and sip our Sangria; resting on our rooftop sanctuary as we peer down on the marvelous village and its stream below.
What a romantic vision of a beautiful Spanish mountain village. The Spanish Consulate should send you a big thank you card, for promoting tourism in Spain!!!
Warm Regards,
John & Tami

I'm enjoying this series very much, Kevin. I'm sure you are making skilled use of PS, as you always do, but it's very subtle, and doesn't bother even an old grump like me. The lighting is wonderful, and you did indeed "get it right." Now I can't make up my mind which ones to put into my favourites. Hmmm. Why not all? ...maybe!

This is nice portrait Roberta with great eye well captured. The expression of the face lead us to follow her eye. The tones could be a little bit more contrasted in MHO.
The photo is well cropped and the DOF well managed. One regret is the small, probably, ring on the right hand that attracts the eyes.
Anyway this is a very nice work.
Congrats

This is such a beautiful story. Both people are totally involved in each other. That is a priceless grandma look. I love the way the hand connects them physically, and the matching rib tops is another connection. A favourite. CC

Could be a cover for a cartoons of Batman!
You are freeze the atmosphere and the effect is surrealistic.
Good.
P.S.
This week I would like to be in Sweden, Goteborg. Could be a good occasion to take a sportive shot.

A stunning silence for me- never mind quiet moment! Mark this leaves me speechless. Whoever it is, you could not generate more thought. Time again to me on many levels. The farmer's field going in time- human life the same. Very Beckett. The effects could not be more perfect. (PS Is that a book/bible or stone next to the flowers?)

Lovely lines and textures balance this very well. I much admire your choice of balancing the ground with a lot of sky here. It seems to make the ground more solid, more massive, and very three dimensional. Obviously the dimension is greatly promoted by the distant biker. The tree to the right is a nice bit of punctuation to the lines and flow of the shot. It also looks to me like a cartoon profile opf a luaghing character, but that's my own mind doing it's thing! Anyway, a wonderful feeling of space and dimension here and an evocative summer mood. Good use of B&W. Wonder what the color version looked like.
Best Regards,
Mark

I too like this photo of the series the best. The detail is much sharper, and the composition is stronger with the snail in one of the thirds and the darker grained area in another. I like the lines and the spiral contrasting each other. Very good photograph Carlen.
Best of wishes to you,
Garold

Hi Greg, My eyes picked up the farthest power line first and ran through the rest towards the foreground. So it looks right to me. Excellent compo. Thank you for your comment on mine. I appreciate it.

in speed in the continouos shooting mode!
Then I was able to pick up a auto winder for my Canon AE-1! OOhhhhhhhh .......now I can't seem to Keep the camera in the bag anymore! I can't take my eyes off it now so I just set it on the shelf ................hehe
Cant wait to try it out tomorrow. It will drive me crazy not being able to see the results right away! lol
Keep shooting those fantastic nature shots! I love seeing the posibilities!!

With all your wonderful photography in Libya and Cuba I had almost forgotten that Canada is your home my good friend.
This is a superb composition and most fitting for your National Day Nacho. I love the natural framing to the piece, the beautiful colour tones, and the flaming brazier is fantastic.....Well done to you dear friend. Sorry to be late but I had a busy weekend and am catching up yet again..... My very best wishes to you as always......Ray

What a gorgeous paw. It looks as though this animal is young or has not spent much time on rough surfaces. Its pads are pristine, and the fur so pampered and clean. My muts' paws are battered and muddy from a digging fetish.

As you've CC'd this, let me make take a closer look.
It looks like a fascinating building, but I feel the image is a little unbalanced - too much sky and not enough of the cathedral. I would like to see more of what's in the foreground (although you may have excluded this intentionally). I also find the two trees on the left lead my eyes away from the main subject.
Looks like there's a statue at the top of the stairs, in front of the cathedral, but this is somewhat lost against the background. A viewpoint further left could help here, so that the statue appears against the sky.
Hope this gives you some ideas,
John
