A beautiful image, hope you checked the time table before starting.

my Fav. one......

love it!

Congratulations on 1st, well deserved.

WOW, that is amazing.

It's very uniquely created building, but even more, the author has captured it in black and white that reveals the patterns dramatically. Love the contrast between shadow and highlight of the buildings and windows Great photo

I love odd architecture like this. Very nice capture!

Great!

wonderful

amazing author good luck
looks like a toy building author
high vote and fav

woah .. thats a great piece of art ........ !

I agree..... the black and white really works here.

How did the architect know if he built it correctly and good luck with the county inspection. Well balanced shot.

Yay dirt on the face...great image

So powerful portrait.
So many emotions / feelings in one photo.
Perfect crop / skin tones / lighting / expression / look.
Words are not enough...
One of the best portraits i have EVER seen!

Thank you so much karaflazz. This actually means a lot to me because I've seen your work and I really love it. Your work is fantastic. And again, thank you for such high praises.

Nice hobby I mean really nice hobby

Absolutely stunning, If I hadn't seen Karaflazz comment I would have thought it was one of his,

Well I think Dimitris summed it up best so what more can we say?

Beautiful shot, and a perfect chioce for selective colouring too. Awesome.

The clarity on this is amazing and it is GREAT except one thing....It is not black and white. I checked it out and there are reds, yellows, and magentas in there big time.

sorry, must have not desaturated the area enough, I will fix

Awesome shot, love this = )

Best points for (at least, for me) the best shot !!!

loved the face expression

Congratulations, well deserved, this must be the highest score I have seen in the photo section.

Congratulations

Congrats on 1st Place Win

Great shot! I really like how the dog is positioned in such a way that it isn't hit with the strong sunlight. I would suggest though that maybe a higher shutter speed would be better for this kind of shot because backlighting is a bit too bright and distracting and I personally think water droplets in stop motion look better than in blurred motion. Good job though!

great shot and that's a fantastic picture .... Allz Faithfully for you !

TankRed, thanks for the advice, but it isn't as simple as you think. The shutter speed for this photo is set for the shadows. I did it that way I wouldn't loose detail there. I could have shot in must faster, but I would have lost the detail in the dogs face, I had to lighten it enough as it is. Also, the droplets aren't the main focus, the dog is, and the dog is perfectly clear. The radial effect of the drops is just icing on the cake. It's part of what separates this photo from others. Also, with limitation of photo editing software, this is not one of my most high quality shots.

Congrats for 1st
