Yes to this, just lovely with detail. Personally, I would not have minded less marginal space atop, a tighter crop would puch this out further, but that is just my opinion. This photo is alive and a happy one, at least it makes me happy.

What a delectable, feminine photograph with white vignette. Good artistic touch and the pastel colours seduce us magically. Nicely done.

It is the dreamy effect you have managed to capture that makes this image transcend. These are, by the way, melt in your mouth and the punctuation of good colour on the macaroons gives us viewers primary on the product. The company making these macaroons will give you the job!

Wonderfully focused and lit. Ideal placement of the macaroons and great color choices. The subtle pattern on the coffee cup adds a nice dimension of depth. Great job.

We feel humbled by the power of nature that comes across in this image. Well composed with inclusion of foreground to take us in. How interesting you caught a hint of warm sunlight, spelling hope, that the storm will pass. Just an image that we can easily get lost in. Nice entry.

Good one this and although I sometimes would suggest cropping the sky,think in this instance would not improve it,nice one

Surely you are a very conscious photographer and noticed the boat being painted by light and made the most of it. Good catch there, you have just made me more conscious of source of light, thank you for the lesson.

Lucky you to have had the clouds working on your behalf and framing these red barges for you; natural serendipity! Sharp clear and I do think the tonal values are spot on and make for an all encompassing pleasurable image to view.

A strong image visually with a great story that engages the viewer, a peaceful place where I would not mind having a seat and cupaccino. Your photo is sharp with good exposure, well balanced richly saturated and nice contrast showing depth of tonal ranges both in mid range and high tones with no clipping seen. Just a lovely shot , through and through.

This image has a professional touch to it. It is a photograph that was created and not taken meaning it is not just a snap, but thought was put into it and it shows. The clarity it top notch and the background does not compete but supports. It is well exposed and the marginal spaces are balancing. I raise a glass to your presentation, excellent, inspiring work. I wish you had told us how your created this piece.

This is a great photo, but there is some purple and green chromatic aberration that should be dealt with.

I was inspired by your minimalistic post. The softness of colours and shapes really takes this over the top. It feels fragile and the compositional style to the side with explosion of petals visually delights viewers. This one, I feel, will be hard to beat. Congrats

We often speak of photographs taken or photographs made. I don't know if you made this or not but you certainly had the wherewithall to shoot it and you did a great job. It sparkles and engages us not only with colour but vibrancy. Really a lovely post and a joy to review.
