Reaching towards the bokeh, nice catch.

The bokeh in this could be stronger because as it is it seems just soft dof which does make for a nice photograph.

The bokeh on this really rocks!

Eye catching with the background colours complimenting the colours of the rusty ring.

Great with the inclusion of the rust on the boards, an artistic presentation....I should have guessed it was your contribution.

Good rust, nice focus on the rust, good picture.

Good to include the side of that run down barn as it fills out the story of this rusty "almost new" vehicle.

Congrats for this win.

Congrats to you for number two !

Big Congrats on this win Sylvie.

Good on you for number two!

Big Congrats on number one!

I do not understand, this is a strong photograph.

Hey congrats on number 3....nice one.

Congrats Sylvie on this win.

Big Congratulations on this win, well deserved.

I wouldn't mind working here. Happy Snappy photo, good for your family album...and for us too see and salivate over.

Thank you for that, appreciate your suggestions.

Did you have a guide or did you see those little fingerprints yourself? In some parts of the world, you will continue to see child's hands labouring....sad to say.

What do you use for the black background? I use a Muslin cloth but oftentimes it shows dust, and threads etc. Is this construction papaer?

.......or a good title for a book! You do have a warped palate....humourous and delightful to view this morning.

Wonderful creativity. This is Koh Phi phi in Thailand and your clever blending of the statue of Liberty with Thailand's iconic rock is truly out of the ordinary.

I am drawn to that "old Master's" feel . The complementary colour palette of blue and yellow further pulls on me and it has a very romantic yesterday feel to it. I like it quite a bit....feels just right!

Simple yet so strong and nicely composed to the side like that. The realistic feel to it.

ewwwwwwwwwwww. I suppose it's better than finding a finger in the salad! Well done.

Yes, I too found this disturbing. Boys as young as this fought in wars throughout history. Very well thought out and rendered.

Made me smile today. Well done.

I had to look twice.... good shadow work too! Thank you

Ahhhhmazing. Very creative work and technically well rendered.

Classy and well rendered.

This upload was an education. What I liked most about it aside from the technical excellence was the humour....the fart propelling this handsome brute forward! LOVED IT and top marks. Very inspirational as always.

I like the play of patterns on this chop. Monochrome, yet not monochrome! Nice

Oh so Italy, nice in b/w

Interesting link, thank you.

Thank you for that link.

LOVE IT.

Thank you for the historical background, appreciated. What a sad history you have. I will now wikipedia this site. It is too bad that an earthquake, then a storm levelled the two flank buildings. Very interesting read and it would be fascinating to visit this building. I also like the way you presented this upload, has a flavour of romanticism to it.

Mmmmmm like the warm feel and the thoughtful presentation. This is a photo made, not a photo shot.

I like the artistic composition of this presentation, nice and sharp too and thank you for your notes. I always enjoy reading what an author has to say about their uploads, enriches the experience for me!

Love that warm fuzzy feeling this image evokes within me.

Great shutter speed.

Like the way he is jumping into the frame and biting that distant "bokeh-ed" human

When eyes are sharp all sins are forgiven. Nice portrait of this beast.

ha ha ha ha ha.... gotcha, I don't understand it either.

How do you mean dynamism and spontaneity?

Hi, have just tucked that link into my Angelica folder...thank you.

OMG.....I am trying hard not to GUSH but this is just simply superb. My husband was bringing me a cup of coffee as I was looking at this and he just said "WOW" and that is something coming from a L brained individual. Wonderful, emotive, colourful, surprising, inspiring. I think you can crop out that dark brown line on the margin at the right...a tighter nip that's all....maybe all the way around....?

Channel masks say the computer moron?! WOW will have to look that one up. I think this is a smack dab great entry on many levels. The technical is to my eyes very well done and I can see the shadow of hat on snow and it is correct. I also am taken with the colour palette, blue of course is cool and the icing on this well baked cake is that hat and arm....huh?! OUTTA place or what?!

I am quite taken with the narrative of your upload and your imagination is brilliant.
