Patty, would you please review , I would love to learn from you and your take on how to see the world around us. Thank you for speaking to me.

Patty, I just put both my hands on either side of your photo...to the pillars, but keep the two women in....do this and see what happens! I really liked this shot...makes me want to go there.

Centered well, those two black draped women add so much mystery, great catch.

purrrrfect for mood, clarity, colour palette, technical expertise shown...this is grrrrrrrrreat.

I looked up Badia and now know where it is . Thank you. Nice rural photograph, sharp and crisp with consideration given to compositional style and keeping that fence in the frame was a nice way to hold our eye in this work.

You even caught some magical shadows that bring good depth to this shot. It is rural, unpretentious solid photography that breathes rural and we get absorbed by it. Lovely.

Bahhh...it's rural enough for me. Great pull on the eye..

your welcome

Yes think the road/car slightly take away the rural nature of the shot in what other wise is a good photo,using the animals in the scenery does add a nice rural scene.

Talk about good dof in this and the use of the 3 elements of sky/mountains and greenery adds a nice contrast,good one

Interesting building this,just wonder if this had been more of a vertical shot this would have been stronger,by eleminating a tad either side,good idea to use the figures might just have waited a couple of seconds to get them a bit nearer,but still like it

Ah! Tuscany I assume with the lines of trees. Lovely shot - great sense of space due to the height and looking down. I also like that the colours are a little subdued not over saturated.

Moody atmosphere to this shot. I like the light catching the trees. Would the shot be better with the road cropped out. Might that give the scene a more 'remote' feel.

nice DOF and bokeh

I like the mood caught, well balanced too.

Congrats Patty

Contrats Patty

Cool and congrats Patty!

Congrats Patty, nice texture

Congrats for winning,simplistic but it works

Congrats Patty, this is dreamy and poetic.

Congratulations, a lovely gentle photo.

Congrats Patty, very pretty

Very nice shot

Thanks for changing the image

goal:
You could include the stem and leaves, or just concentrate on the bloom. It might be a bud, a full blossom, or anywhere in-between, but having more than one will make your entry off them.
Lots of buds in this photo.

It's not a bee but an Episyrphus balteatus, sometimes called the marmalade hoverfly.

okay

Excellent nature photo

Author, can you please tell us the story behind this photo.

Very nice shot for DOF

I can see you walking here and spotting this scene and using your artistic streak to come up with this image. I really like it because it is dreamy, the background is like a dreamscape.

Ahhh this says it all . Beautifully laid out, artistically placed photographic elements of that magic number 3. Simple, classy top notch. Congratulations this is simple and strong.

beautiful

Congratulations Patty, a great photo

Congrats patty for winning

Nice picture, I personally cropped left to make disappear the end of the railing that does not bring so much.

Congratulations on 1st one Patty!

Well done for winning this one

Congratulations on 1st place.

Congrats Patty, really lovely

stunning

Very nice

This is a very warm and mellow image bringing forth a warm and fuzzy feeling within us. I would suggest a small crop down to eliminate the contrails, can you see how our eyes float up there, and then out of the shot? You want to keep the viewer in your photo without distractions. The honey colour is splendid as is the story.

Yup yup yup much better.

I better not disclose any secrets, ha ha ha.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm how did you know it was me?
