Looks like snow does not belong in this part of the world, yet here it is. A good eye to see this photograph.

Top notch...from POV to monochromatic handling. All is beautiful.

I feel less would have been more with this shot. I am not bothered by the negative space for it defines the grandmother or the other half of the image. However, the plantar the green wooden gate,detract, so when I say less is more had they been out , to me the image would have appeared stronger and less cluttered, negative space nothwithstanding.

I like the minimalist approach to this one, it is shocking.

A happy snappy shot!

British sense of humour

Careful with cutting the image in half...remember your horizontal cut rule in photography. I feel had you followed it you would have had a stronger shot, but don't get me wrong....it is a great image.

Sweet image and the title is great. It's a make us smile upload.

Very lovely panorama but do you not think it needs a bit more 'sparkle' ? perhaps a bit more exposure or work on levels.

Takes a photographer to see this and to change it to bw was the way to go. Top notch.

You may have a slight tilt to the right on this one. I like it for the interest factor.

Like this for the post processing , a bit out of the box and changing it to monochrome with a tint was great. Good composition.

1908 WOW .....100 years old. Was this a gift to you from your parents ? Love the grunge texture, the "in your face" treatment of the subject....a grand macro.

Yes, really nice lead lines on this and I do think your gradients are well done encompassing a wide range. Did you know that there are approximately 256 shades of gray?

Sharp on the closer eye and we can see every hair on her furry body. If it was any sharper we would cut ourselves on it.

You are a romantic and see beauty everywhere. I like this but it would have helped to have more of the rose in focus for a stronger photo, however, it is the artistic prerogative and I bow to yours.

Yes, why not. You caught the beauty of the "lace" within the tree branches. Lovely, simple and strong.

It is lovely how you have the base framed in silhouette it holds our eyes in very well.

I guess due to the smog in your area you are staying indoors and going through your stock of images. I like this one too, the focal point, the title, simple and strong following the KISS principle nicely.

Not only is the POV grand but I like the heavy saturation on this one, it is an OH WOW image.

What is especially nice in this sharp photo are the ghost like people shrouded in the mist as the side. The is also Photo Exhibtion material

I do think this is Photo Exhibition material and your title rocks!

I think we need a "from behind" contest. I like the exotica of this photo, technically sharp, has anyone mentioned those wires yet?

I love images like these that take us to faraway places and show us lives of others. This image has a lot going for it ....the colours and the absorption of the people into their work....they are oblivious of you and we get treated to see them au naturel, not posed.

sharp sharp sharp as a woman's tongue...What do you think about those red reflections at the base of the image....do they weaken the overall shot or add to it. I personally would have cropped up to get rid of them then there would have been no visual competition for the viewer.

Nice bucolic shot. Have you tried blending in a cloudy sky into the image by way of layers?

This is such a pleasure to view, it is full of excitement , warm glows, and your point of view rocks. You were walking on water to get this shot.

This would have done well in the blow out contest too. Nice high contrast image but you seem to have banding in the sky. Banding happens when in post processing you push the values too high. I like the two focal points acting like mirrors, each boat playing off the other.

Thanks, a very intriguing photo.

achhhh I should have known this was yours, always so imaginative are your creations.

Crystal clear, beautifully rendered, eye catching...nice work.

Oh Zizounai....you are making a groaning joke....and only one other person I know makes groaning jokes and he is from Britain. He always makes jokes and I always groan!

It is a story of a young life and of longing.

Your work is marvellous, simply marvellous.

Top notch.

Wish you had given a bit of background info on this stellar image.

I didn't know that ! ! ! ! Thank you for enlightening (light...get it) me. I also like your photo for the patterns that catch our eye and you do have a black background.

Full of romance and nice sharpness too, but it is the romance that made it for me!

Very good photo, nice sharpness, great mist, very moody. I like ti

Nice one again but no blowouts are there?

This is great, but I don't see any blow outs, but it is a good photograph..."seaside".

I want to get there one day...NOT RUSSIA...just St. Pete's

Hey congrats a triple crown.

Thank you for that link. I have looked it up and will consider installing when I get back home (in three months). I did look up your SBS and I think you have done a smack dab great job. XO

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Crap, this is good, so so good. It instantly got an OH WOW out of me. I hope you can keep it in this contest, but what a manipulation...love it. It inspires me to try something today, all thanks to your entry.

Wish you didn't speak Greek because I don't understand your process but am inspired by your upload especially the skin, which looks frozen. Very nice close up too. Thank you.

This looks to me like a "hellofa" lot of work and it is done to perfection (in my eyes) clear and strong and frozen too. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Thank you.

Congratulations...good going

Beautiful shot...CONGRATULATIONS

HA....I knew it....CONGRATULATIONS on your first win on pxyleyes, it won't be the last...I know there are many more where this one came from.
