The water drops have captured a sweeping 180 degrees of the photo stadium which is simply great.

Very creative! Love the composition.

Wonderful

Clyde,

Wonderful job with the light and comp! Great addition to this category.

Best,
Jon

Thanks Jon. This is a macro of the leaf of a Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) from my trip yesterday to Decanaso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, CA. Beautiful February sun, great day!!

Not that sharp, maybe the DOF is too short, a fave anyways.

Stunning macro. The texture and color in this image are simply wonderful. A perfect fit for the textures category.

great. super clean and crisp. well done!

Enhorabuena por esta fotografia. Luces y sombras que resaltan la fuerza de la mirada. Saludos

Nicely lit though I guess you could do better with the shape of the shade on the forhead!

moostive, actually, no, I couldn't. :)

that "shade" you are probably referring to is in fact a remainder of a scar and the model explicitly told me not to hide it in the photo or remove it in post-processing. so there.

Oh, alright then, thanks for the info. :)

Well seen but yea, it's again over-processed.

un beau filé mais les couleurs sont assez ternes dommage

I really like the shot. It shows how fast these boat are really capable of going.

I like this, but the crop is a little tight. Good color and feeling of movement-wish it were just a little bit sharper.

Best,
Jon

You can really see the speed in this photo...fits well with the topic! Great job!

Fotografia muy bonita. Calidez y suavidad. Dá la sensacion como si todo hubiera sido puesto a propósito,incluida la rama donde descansa el pajaro, para obtener este gran resultado. Enhorabuena. Saludos

Just love this shot the red Cardinal with the birch tree, great combination. Keep the shutter clicken :) Andy

The branch behind the bird's head is distracting i guess.

wow, this is amazing! wonderful shot

Congrats on the feature, and well deserved! Just a quick question. How long did this take you?

thank you for the feature, great feedback and comments you all!
@Andrew...hard to remember specifically, but less than an hour no doubt

Well deserved feature. Excellent shot and PP.

impressive result of manipulation

Neat, thanks for the info of how to.

A sense of spring to come...lovely!

Bonita tarjeta de presentacion de la primavera, muy alegre y bonita. Enhorabuena. Saludos

That pleases to me that you like that. So long.

Great combination of yellow in the forefront & violet in the background.

Very nice composition.
Really makes everything pop out!

This is really well done. I actually like the slight blur of the train - gives a sense of action. The clouds really pop and create a nice contrast to the lines of the buildings.

Looks great, a few spots jumped out at me as abnormal however. There's a thin glow around the roof of the building that looks strange, and the building seems too dark around the top. I also agree that the sky at the top of them image is a bit too dark, it doesn't look too natural or convincing. Overall though, this is a great image with tons of potential. Composition is perfect.

All the best,
Jordan

Amazing sky!!! madre de Dios!!! Everything move me to the sky, so I think You have too much on earth. The focus could be different? Really fantastic work!!!

Very cinematic, good control of light.

Interesting colour and pattern emphasized by the narrow DoF.

Hi There...

I'm currently runnign a photgraphy exhibition on the theme of "Mass" & I find this photo of yours just perfect for that. The exhibition is set to present nearly 60 photos by pro, amature & photographers all over Iran. It is sponsored by Hitachi, so it wouldn't cost you at all, it will be run by www.moosville.com & www.parkingallery.com

Just let me know if you're interested to particiapte.
Thanks :)

Cool, sounds like something I might be interested in. Not entirely sure how to contact you though. If you read this maybe email me: detour at detour dot com.

great mate, I'll e-mail you.

Very good. :)
The post-it notes really make the shot.

Better lighting would make it a much better image.
