This earlier shot is even more spectacular than the latter which I posted a comment on previously. Sometimes I just do things in reverse (haha) The colours in his one are striking. Again the diagonal composition gives a strong difference and bold mood which is quite painterly like. I love the textures in the sky. Beautiful shot.
Cheers - Ann

Nice diagonals and lovely colours here. An unusual composition that works beautifully here. Very creative and beautifully presented in excellent framing. Nice use of negative space. Great work Mireille.

I love these trees. They are the signature tree of Africa. Can't be mistaken for anywhere else. This is excellent on the open plain like this with the nice clouds in there for added interest. Lovely details. Great shot Mireille.

Your Melbourne by night shots are all top shelf Jason. The lights and composition of this one is excellent. Superb quality and razor sharp image. Gorgeous colours and I love the rich deep blue sky. Beautiful night shot.

OK I'm back...had to check the front page. Nothing to report. LOL
A beautiful tulip with lovely lighting here. I never would have known it was a tulip if you didn't tell us that. The reds are gorgeous and the ruffles are lovely. Nice work Petal.

Ahhh....the Ghost and Mrs Muir. Why is that so many of your images remind me of movies?
This one particularly reminds me of that movie as she wore the same era of clothing and the scenes were cold and the fog depicts the ghost of Captain Gregg to me. I like how the path of snow carries me into the forest. It's almost like the woman is contmeplating whether to take the path or go the other way. Perfect tones for such a scene. Very moody and yesteryear. Great work Ina.

AHA...Miss Flappy of the day.....or at least this 15 minutes as they change so fast. Anyway...the FRONT PAGE is where I found this image so you are Miss Flappy again. I concede defeat here Kelly. I can't compete for the crown any longer. LOL (haha)
Oh yeah the image.....nice.
No really... it's beautiful with a very pretty sky and I love how it draws my eyes right into the horizon and that boat right in the light of the sun makes for a lovely silhouette. A very tranquil scene Miss Flappy.
Cheers from Ann
PS...I'm so happy I could get one more in before I leave. (haha)

Hi Al,
WOW it took me all these years to see one of your images on the front page. I guess you've been there before and I've always missed them. Always a day late and a dollar short. LOL
Beautiful lines, textures and tones here Al. Very nice image.
I'm going on the road again in a few days so will see you again when I am settled somewhere again in some more months.
Also congratulations on the HUGE success of the site Al. It's grown in leaps and bounds over the years. Wonderful to see.
Cheers for now (again) from Ann

Ahhh...another potential new summer home for me to consider. Is it for sale?
Of all the barn shots I like this one best Michael. I guess I enjoy colour in my world although I do like your most recent with the sky perspective very much also. I See you used avery wide angled lens which cause the distortion. I'm thinking it's intentional to add effect to the collapsing effect. It works well here to have the water tower leaning in towards the barn. A great scene.
Thanks for dropping by my farewell image. Yes I would like more info about the Sprint system you mentioned there. I'm leaving in a about a week.
Cheers from Ann

Hi Michael, I odn't know anything about that system. Right now I use a wireless Belkin Card in my laptop and have a wireless router set up to the main house computer and I get high speed wireless in my motorhome (the one pictured here - hehe). When I'm on the road I usually jsut try to find Hot Spots but I am certainly open to any suggestions. We do need to get a new phone system as we want to get 2 cell phones. My question is would I be using the cell phone as as some sort of mobile high speed DSL connection and would I be charged for the minutes I use on the internet? Can you direct me to where I could get more information about this please? Perhaps you could email me some info as I like to have internet more often than not.
dc3annie@hotmail.com
Thank you for dropping by and yes I can be convinced if the price is right.
Cheers - Ann

Oh J...that tree is the main bathroom for everyone's use. I was going to plant special private bathrooms for each of the Furkini Group with rose bushes so your bathrooms always smell like roses. LOL As for the kids....bring 'em on...I'll throw them a Mcpack and a soda once in a while so they don't go hungry. LOL

Sorry I can't help with the title. I'm still trying to get past your knockers. LOL
