Oh I love this. It's my kind of shot with the mysterious lighting. The reflection is heavenly. Well done indeed.

Yay! There's an award. Congrats for that. I'm so glad your work is getting the recognition it deserves. Chris, I hope there are sunsets like this in heaven however I did hear Nikons were not allowed over there. Only Canons. Sorry for being the bearer of bad news. :-) By the way, "Mountain Sunset" was really good too. I actually fell for that one as being real!

Welcome back, Markus! A fine looking resident!  Frogs are fun. You should name him. Oscar? Daphne? Anyway, it's a great macro.

Wow great abstact Sherif. Excellent composition! You may need to rotate it just a little. Is this a crop from a larger picture? Just wondering if you have your camera set on fine jpeg mode.
Well done!

Mohamed, If you hadn't said anything about it, I wouldn't have known. It's very good PS work. I like the black border and the poster presentation very much. Perfect for the palms and the pretty tower. You may want to try a little burning on the tower and see if you bring out the details some more. Just a thought. Well done my friend.

Hi Mora, Nothing fancy, I used flashlights for the lighting. I had a black board for the background. The flowers were on a black surface as well. Thank you very much for your comments on my flowers. If you ask me, your florals beat mine any day.

I think frozen is the wrong word to use. How about crystal clear with magnificient detail. This picture I am guessing (hopefully correctly) is using panning. I love it. Excellent job Marcus.

Sometimes we all need a little space! The smart title "Shadow's escape" enforces that feeling you get from the long shadow as if it is trying to get away from the handle. I like the various lines intersecting and diagonaling with each other. It is a great addition to your recent windows image Roby. Thanks for your comment on mine. Hugs.  )

Oh I hope the electricity is well grounded in those buildings, Lol. Beautiful scenery. Amazed at the architecture and of course engineering that enabled these canal neighborhoods. This is done so well, I placed it in my favorites earlier today and now came back to comment. Ciao!

I don't know if others will get the same feeling but this photo has the unique ability to make you feel as if you are in the photograph! Within that tight space. So it's very effective in that way. Including just a sliver of sky is a nice touch. Paul, You have a good eye for composition.

Wow exquisite details on this orchid. I love the colors and the sage background. The dark vignette is fine but I'd also try a lighter version to see which one works best.
Excellent floral!

This is amazing considering you took it yourself. The tones look excellent with great contrast. I like how you have the background whited out so well without photoshop. Nice friendly pose. Sharp focus. An excellent self-portrait, Luke. Well done. )

Yes, it looks like that way Sherif. I heard geese mate for life which is very interesting. Don't know about pelicans. Duck looking on from behind is a nice touch. Well done. )

That's a great idea! Thank you, Chris. I will have to try that. My only hurdle will be PS. I'll see if I can make a smooth transition between the two. Thanks again. )

Sorry Angelo it's probably the light going through it which softened it and fooled my eyes. What do you think of having the middle section where the yellow and red intermingle in sharper focus? Just a thought.
Yes, I do appreciate the lovely texture. It's beautiful. You have a good idea going here. :-)

At the base of the flower there's a darkish triangle like shape which I assume is a shadow and also part of leftover background. I just meant for that area to gradually fade into the white background instead of having hard edges. I am attaching my flower picture (which still has problems and not the best example) to show you what I mean. I am trying to learn how to shoot these right myself. Best wishes, Lily. :-)

Their eyes are on their antennas? I didn't know that! Excellent macro. Petal, You might already know this but these can get pretty big. We ran into one as it was crossing a walkway - it was at least 5 inches (12 cm's?) long. About an inch thick.

The crop I love, I love. It's great. But my eyes are looking for a focused spot or even the entire petal being in focus. I love the texture and frame.

I like the upper half very much (excellent), but not so sure about the darker, blurred bottom (too much blur?). Can you make the shadow transition to bg more smoothly?
