Love it. Did you just walk across the spider web? Great photo.

Incredible shot! The more I stare at it, the more I like it.

Very graphic!
It needs (for me) a little bit more DOF but it looks already great like this :)

yeah, I agree, more DOF would bring all the beads into focus.
yes, I just walked across this. My reward for getting up early in the spring when the dew is still there and not burned off by the sun :-)

awesome lighting

Ma che vivacità di colori.. molto bella!
Ma quegli anelli circolari al collo non erano tipici delle popolazioni africane?

Hi!
Nice color, nice use of the flash (am i right?) and nice smily little girl!
I think that the rings give something more at the picture.. It will be more classic without this "plus".

Thanks !!!
No flash...only natural light !!!!
I really don't like flash...

her skin is so warm! i love it

I've seen this same girl! I have pictures of her too! Not as nice as this one, though! Great colors!

I like this softness and the background color. Very nice.

thx philippe.
I have more shots of this "flower" with more details. I'll post them when i have more time :)

see you!

Nice DOF londinium, I love your photos.

The image has all the right balance in color in my opinion, no need for cropping it's a generally beautifully composed photo. I love the snow adds a near the forest.

Sometimes the sky puts on such a show that it is impossible to get it wrong. This was just that sort of sky. For this topic, however, I rate mostly on the basis of "is the sky the dominant element?" While the sky is clearly the key element, in this shot the foreground actually dominates the scene. Someone suggested cropping th sky down. I disagree. Rather, I would crop the bottom third, losing that large mass of grass in the foreground. This will make the sky (and the lovely evening glow on the trees) really jump from the image.

Wow! That's my instant reaction. Spectacular shot, well done. Where was it taken?

I can't find anything to critisize and wouldn't crop off anything.
I guess this is a HDR image. How many images did you use?

I love the ray of light in the back.
Maybe the lightning of the scene seems to be "artificial" but the result please me...

Great image. I love the emotion in the statue and the textures are amazing.

Doesnt really have the cemetery feeling. Looks like any brokedown statue to me. But it aint a bad photo, I like the black and white.

the texture of the statue is interesting. Agree guffy for the "not" cemetery feeling. but it doesn't matter

Love the texture of statue and some good contrast.

hey! je la connait celle la :)

Tres chouette rendu pour les textures. La "pose" à un coté melancolique bien approprié au traitement!

a+

I like the post processing in the sky but I would have preferred it if you'd continued the effect to the horizon.

Gradient work the magic on this one, Kurt!

Hi!
I'll try to my best in english.
So..

Nice effect but it seems a little bit not natural. The lights are not the same between the trees and the sky.

This is a beautiful shot and I really love the anger in the sky despite the peacefulness of the area.

wow..clouds are great! good one!!

All that volumes on this clouds. It's really nice. Nice range of colours too. Great

Wow! That is one awesome cloud.

... wonderful this one... I have nothing to say more 8o!!

Hi!
