Good shot, but the main subjet is too centered IMHO

a mystical monster indeed.

Lovely photo, but not really what you would call 'woods'

Great framing... beautiful view... makes you think about whether or not you'd want to go outside

Looks like quite a walk!

Nice. I might have cropped a little more closely on the sides and bottom

very nice

I'd suggest you straighten this image, using the right-hand side of the entrance arch as a vertical perpendicular line. The tilt detracts from the power of the sky.

very nice.love the movement

great shot, and take on the theme

When ice flows of the beginning of spring used to role these guys across the lake, the noise they made really made you think of monsters. This one is a WHOPPER!!! great capture

Nice take on the theme. A little closer crop might help

Great shot

Funny

good one

lovely

Now that is a cool sign! Great entry.

Wonderful panorama! Braies?

Nice cows, amazing background =)

Nice pic and panorama!

If you make the front cow purple, you can sell this photo to a chocolate brand . Good luck!

Looks much better... GL

Looks like a rough life - for a cow

Nice. Cropped a little tight at the top

You had no better title ...

Very Bucolic...love it...

like a post card

He looks a little like my cousin Ralphie

I'm a little on the fence about the cultural aspect, but I really love the image and magnificant view.

Erh....where is the "cultural" part?

Hold your horses, author! No-one ever said anything about red and yellow flags. I just made a simple question, thank you.

I have to agree with the author on this one, when I went to performance school the ballet students were CONSTANTLY having to wear things that bound bind breach break their body, and all were costume. The lead teacher knew the history of every piece of clothing, where it came from and why it existed. (Thank god I was only in the vocal class) don't get me started on the Tap Dancers, their costumes were exhausting). good luck author, I always remember the ballet teacher saying, do we have our Costumes? to her students just before they would begin class.

The photo is quite simple in feel, but the amount of stuff going on in the back ground is exceptional GOOD LUCK

Do a T-shirt and a pair of slacks qualify as cultural costume?

great shot

a chop is a photo manipulation author.. not an insult... heee.heee.. great job (if it were a CHOP you'd get a bashing for improper shadowing LOLOLOL.. great job

Took me a second. At first I thought it was a chop

Lovely, great angle and colours

Cool shoes, best view in the contest =)

Great shot

Much better

Nice, but if it was mine I would crop it closer.

Really nice capture, it makes me yearn to run my hands over it. Very well done!

One of the better looking "Old Man Cactus" photos I've seen in quite a while - He's beautiful!
Very nice focus and lighting. Good visual texture.

cute

Great shot

This is a really nice shot, however, I feel it would be a lot more dramatic if you had cropped the left and top, so that the lighthouse was not centered. (Think of the rule of thirds)

I love Lighthouses, good catch!

Nice shot. I love those pots and clay masks as well as the flowing greenery. What a great collection.

LOL...Bravo Author, very clever and how true...

lol, clever = )
