Veeeery nice

Nice choice of color !

Lovely shot

You took my idea!!! GRR!! Nice background though. Really makes this pop

Wonderful..the odds of getting just one drip much less all three is amazing. Good job.

Excellent! Almost the exact shot I was going to try, but now I won't bother as this is so good. Great focus, timing etc.

Crammed and colourful!

Lovely shot! I would love to live in the room above the archway. The kids walking and talking is the highlight of the photo.

Is that some kind of mall, or something. Looks like it has a glass roof

OK, author, your next entry you shoot with this one. Nice picture for sure

I've always tried to get a bee this close up, but they always fly away before I could get the picture. Very nice!

what an atractive picture what a lovely place you captured ! although those plants on the walls cant be much good for the walls. it gives a very romantic picture, I dont even wanna think of all the lil critters creepy bugs that live in such places where you have all these nice lil corners where they can hide and lie lol. but the picture is just wonderful. the stones, the light, the colors and the composition

Congratulations!

Great!

Very nice even lighting to me.

oh what a lovely picture! feels like candy land almost

Definitely. I doubt anything we build today is going to last 6,000 years.

So lovely

Lol - and I always thought Boxing Day was the day that you got rid of all the boxes that the presents came in

very Monet

Like the sign on the side "Broken but still beating - the heart of Christchurch is like us"

we actualy still have some sort of a thing going here. Usualy at the last day at work before christmas employees of many bussiness here in holland receive a christmas box fileld with luxury stuff, bonbons, whine, pack of lobstersoup, etc etc that kind of stuff. sometimes theres a meat coupon included since thats neccesary to get fresh. Sometimes those boxes are not just your ordinary normal day kind of cardboard box (all be withit with xmas decorations) sometimes they pack these items into a more giftlike packaging, a large flowerpot, or a giant basket, etc etc. i guess u get the idea.

I'd like to have one of those in my back yard

Looks like a nice place to spend a peaceful afternoon

Awestruck!

Great... thanks for the info

Great idea!!!!

really nice composition and i think very fitting theme with the source . I would blur the edges of the planet some more if you havent allready

Looks good... but "healthy" and "Christmas meal" seems like an oxymoron

Just what is "Boxing Day?" I've heard of it, but can't seem to get a good explanation from anyone. It's the day after Christmas, right? One of my Canadian friends said something about evolving from giving gifts to servants hundreds of years ago? Just curious. Wish I could get invited to a BBQ on the beach about now.

Wonderfull!

Beautiful Photo.....so many textures in the lush greenery surrounding the gazebo

Precious............

how u did this

fantastic, reminds me of the colors of the paintings of Antonio Ligabue

That's a GREAT one!

Wonderful color and focus, good luck!

Great color

wonderful !

Good attempt.
Maybe the flames in the upper part of the image could be more realistic (colour - shape)?

This is gorgeous! Very nice focus where needed

Goal:

Show us your best photo from your Christmas dinner. The whole table or just the ham. Some part of your Christmas dinner that will make the viewer wish they had been invited. People are optional. Photos must be taken 24 - 25 -26 December 2011.

Stunning!

Beautiful!!! God luck!

earthquake number 2?

EDIT:Sorry author... thought i knew this image....

I looks like a building I know . In this image it looks like the building after the 2nd earthquake hit.

must be me but somehow this doesnt have a christmas feeling at all.. looks more like a barbeque in the summer hollidays lol nice picture though im sure you guys had a great time

ohhhh yum...and very healthy!

This is a fun and relaxing kind of gazebo....wish I was there now!

Awesome photo! well done

Exactly what I was dreaming of...
