Wow...what a wonderful statement of how many is changing his environment and not paying attention to "how" his creations do not blend with their surroundings.

The colors seem a bit over the top, too saturated. Nice tho'.

Phillipe,

This photo has inspired me. I will be traveling to Arizona this week to the Glenn Canyon and Lake Powell. Also to other places, but I will make a special effort to find this place you have shown in your photo. Perhaps I will make some photos of my own here. =)

Excellent, Jason! This shot was taken near Page, but I wouldn't recommend to stay in Page. Kanab, not far from Page, is a charming town. Try the Victoria charm Inn...
Looking forward to see your pictures...

Thanks for the tips. I'm leaving today! See you.

Love the colours and layers here.

Philippe - This is great. All the layers, sky, haze and trees give a wonderful perspective.

Thanks Arne and Peter. I presume you've recognized LA, from the Getty museum.

No problem philippe. LA has a great skyline doesn't it? I love how downtown just rises up on all sides.

Philippe, nice lines from the shadows, and warm lighting. I'm not crazy about the off kilter angle, but that's a personal thing.

Thanks, Roberta, this is the kind of critique I can handle :O)))
Actually, I think there's something missing, here. I would have loved someone in a red outfit showing at a window...

Well Philippe, that's why we have PhotoShop, isn't it? ;-)

Ah! That's an interesting -and recurrent- topic, Bob.
I wouldn't use PS here (like I did for the "ghost" picture).

I love the colors used in the photo, great crop!

I agree with Charon. Very nice. Colours are great and dare I say it, but this should appear in a rule of thirds textbook. Everything is perfectly placed.

I had that very same dream last night - :)

Very ethereal feeling to this and great saturated colours without being overdone. But where is the rabbit?

Thanks, Arne. The rabbit was late, as usual. :O)

Surreal! OK, this is the end of the world as we know it. Great image. Love the light on the rock. My only nit pick would be to dodge in a bit more light on the goats. But it's a nit pick.

Thanks for the comment. And i agree for the light on the goats... :O)

Neat critters! Don't know how that fits the theme, but then best of 2006 is open for inturpertation.

Well, it's just one of my favorites of 2006. :O)

How do you get your hair to stand up so straight like that?

Thank you ladies and gentlemen (and others), I'm glad you find this funny. This is something I made for WS and I didn't have the chance to post. Maybe someday, i'll post a "serious" selfie...

philippe,

I've been rating this up like hell. Hopefully it can get featured. That would be quite nice.

LOL...I find this one very amusing, and yes you do look rather worried. Is something troubling you? Well don't let it get you down, things will get better.

Jason, thanks a lot! ;O)

Laurie, :O))), I'm not worried, I'm anxious, and I don't know if I can do anything about it ;O)

And it's my wife, Christine, who gave me this face when she drew on my hand. I'm going to demand an explanation straight away :O))

Totally beautiful. I would put this on my wall. I love the lighting and the almost painterly quality of the background. As well as the colours.

Thank you, Nynke, I appreciate. :O)

Yeah... very simple... great tones and colors. Composition and light are just perfect to my eyes.

This is one of those images that helps me to remember that there's beauty in some of the most simple things.

Nice... glad this got featured.

Thanks, Brandon!

Glad this was selected for a feature, everytime it came up in the ratings I thought "this epitomizes the theme". Well done and congrats.

Well, thank you so much for your comment. I didn't know it had been featured!

A wonderful combination of textures and patterns, as well as some mesmerising warping. Well captured.

well framed

:O)
