I like the way you composed this including that long long strip of sand leading our eyes to the hotel. At our Photo Club, one of our members took a similar photo of a beach property and sold it to the hotel for 800 USD, copyright and all. Just a suggestion! It could use a touch more saturation to make it sparkle and the horizon line is dipping to the right.

Coming from Canada I know this scene and it does spell paradise for snowbirds and for others who suffer through lousy weather in their home country. Nicely composed.

I thought this would have done much better Brian. It's really quite lovely.

Hey, I'm traveling in a country where women still carry wood on their heads and tea sacks on their head as well.

Maybe the second one will taste better

Thanks for that....appreciate your talking to me.

Bless you. How do they get potatoes to the city nowadays? I also like the balanced feel to this photo...the sky and the pond.

This has a really nice warm glow to it. The photo is very inviting.

I like how this image "whispers" spring with a few pops of colour. Is it level though? Check that bridge in the background it looks slanted to the right a touch. This photo leaves me with a feeling of wanting to be there, to breathe in the fresh air....looks like nature is waking up. Delightful.

In Tamil Nadu and how nice that you have framed this. This photo looks like you thought about the "construction" of it and not just snapped.

Much appreciated Sylvie, it was great, just what my diet needed. Merci!

Congrats Swan nice work.

A real down to earth composition simple and strong and imaginative. Nice work. I like the way you got the two skies to blend .

you got this so precisely you must be a neurosurgeon in real life. Looks like a major "to do" this day for many visitors. Great imagination....love it.

EGADS what an imagination. Wonderful.

ha ha ha ha ha ha betcha that sauce tastes like "you know what"! What an imagination and I love it. THANK YOU

OH GOOD GRIEF....this is just so corny and funny. Thank you, you have given me inspiration to try something. I'm completely flummoxed with this contest.

Number two...congrats on this win. He's so sweet......just like you.

Congratulations Sylvie. Nice one.

1, 2, 3.....NICE NICE NICE and congrats.

Congrats again...Sylvie

Congrats Sylvie....I really liked this one.

Oh so perfect. How long did it take you to complete this piece?

Ahhhh haaaa I thought this would be yours. Top marks, I'm impressed with your shadow....now to check out your SBS. Thank you.

Perfect. Your work is astounding.

OH MY this is good, very creative and looks like haemoglobin traveling through a galaxy.

Clean simple professional look to it. Sharp "as a woman's tongue" and just lovely.

On the desert is an octopus, brilliant. I really love your colour palette as well with good light in center of softly vignetted image.

Very Salvador Dali....a lot of work went into this and is well done.

Gosh, now why didn't I think of that....it looks like something I might be able to do. Simple and strong and brought a smile to my face and a question mark to my gray matter.

This is the kind of upload that when I saw it the first thing that popped into my mind was "now why couldn't I have thought of that"..? Simple and strong.

The floral arrangement looks pasted on but the idea is superb.

Good grief this is good...."less is more" and this one really had a dramatic impact on me.

I absolutely love the textural quality and how the amarrylis plant is hungering for liquid. Also, this is right in my face....perfect.

For my eyes there is too much meat and not enough potatoes! By that I mean it is difficult to focus, but that is just me.

I like how this captures my imagination and I held onto this upload for a good while studying it and studying the message. Very wonderful and thank you.

Well done, I like it. REalistic shadow and light. You are creative + + + + + + and when I grow up I want to be like you.

I love it when photographers post images that are interesting versus perfect because we all learn. What you have taught me is that if you look close enough you can find a photograph. Thanks.

Have you been smokin whacky tabacky....great outta the box thinking here!

This is tops!

It took me a few seconds to think about this.....finally, I got it ! Thank you for thinking outta da box!

Isn't it wonderful that we share our beautiful earth with these beasts....you sure got macro macro macro....3 in one shot.....a wee bit fuzzy.

.......aussi ici

beautiful shot here....

HOLY LIFTIN.........just a warping tool and filter....EGADS.....I love you

Good one, we get the feeling that this is a performance and I like it in monochrome.

Clarity is very good, nicely composed and I like the monochrome. Great upload

One gets the feeling that this is a performance, well caught.

I like how you caught the movement in this, nice.

..........and I even looked up the link, can you believe that?!
