One cannot help but get absorbed into this photo. I am not sure about the oversaturation but it is your artistic choice.

HOLY GUACAMOLE....top marks.

Minimalism, strong in b/w, artistic too. I think a bit more detail may be needed in that rock wall.

Mmmmmm, I love the story here, it adds to the rural tale...cooking pots, now only a photographer would shoot this. I like it and you perhaps monkeyed with the saturation, it works as it provides visual juxtaposition ...vibrant colours against mist...ahhhh.

Ahhh vast, rural and flooded rice paddies. The black and white helps pop out the patterns, the bright sky at the top might benefit from a bit of a nip as it is overpowering.

DO NOT FEAR THE MODERATORS....they need to fear us

Hey, leave it alone. I like the way that little house is framed by the two crags and leaving the bottom as it does give it a vast feeling. I'm on board with you on your decisions.

Oh so cliche, not that cliche is bad, it is just that it has been done before. Clean lovely photograph that is sharp with a wonderful colour palette. IT is Goooooooood!

Yes, to monochrome and rural....wow this is rural....almost isolation. Good gray zone handling showing skill in photo proccessing and photo manipulation.

Yes to this one as well. NIce and sharp I really like that outcrop of stones there because it gives us the feel of "peeking in" on a scene and whether it is rocks as in this case or grasses I always love that effect. Very nice.

YIKES, I love this. I love "taking a walk with you" feel and how we get pulled into the shot. Also, very lovely are the colours and what a clever composition, you take us into that rule of 3 grid line....ahhh ahahahahah you didn't think we'd notice...excellent.

Shows us the beauty of the land, the vast beauty of the land and you have provided a visual anchor making this a solid photograph that one can enjoy.

I think I would like to go here someday. Rural with lake and homes dotting the countryside. This photo feels airy breezy and I like your point of view.

Love the depth, the movement, the contrast the post processing the framing...heck I like this one.

Nothing could be more rural than this excellent shot. The focus is very lovely and the story can be heard. Solid presentation with good focal anchors available for our visual journey throughout the planes.

Good attention paid to horizonal cut rule making the shot more welcoming to "enter" it. Nice sharp focus throughout the image. Good colours, natural and not overworked. A solid entry.

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..

LOVE IT....top marks and great title. Now all he has to do is love you forever!

Next time take a bottle of red wine, Brenda and you drink it, they you can lay down on the hallowed grounds of Siam Reap and shoot Brenda! hic

Yes, I like the crop better too. Please feel free to critique the photos posted here, as Photonut says ....IT IS HOW WE LEARN.

Interesting and imaginative take.

Such determination. I also think keeping that tree in the frame works well to give us sense of scale and distance and direction.

...and now they have a stained glass contest up...if you have more of these shots you could consider entering one. I like the colour juxtaposed against b/w. Good eyes.

Gorgeous, just gorgeous I really like this, it is simple (well not that simple) , clear, sharp, and those lanterns glowing warm ROCK. Top marks.

Love the juxtaposition of overhang and the distant building. Do you think this shot could use a splash of brightness as it seems a bit flat.

Nice one, reminds me that I have to return back to Europe.

Thumbs up for this take. Especially nice with the white out back ground. A striking shot.

Looks strong and powerful. I bet this would look great in monochrome too.

oooops second line has 8 syllables here is new version:

Perched awash in blue
Open billed stork in tree top
Red florets add spark!

Haiku is 5 - 7 - 5 where is it?

Here's mine for you:

Perched awash in blue
Open billed stork in a tree top
Red florets add spark!

Love the zen feel to this upload. Haiku, no charge.

How absolutely exotic and beautiful. Consider re-shooting this during diffused light conditions then you won't have that hot spot in the center. Lovely and great eyes.

This upload ROCKS. It look kaleidoscopic and against a muted sky like that all the details of the papaya and leaves really pop. Top marks for this. The colour saturation is natural and the image is sharp as a woman's tongue.

She looks like she is already in heaven. Is this a belly button POV, meaning you shot it at belly button level? Had you come down and shot up that feeling of looking up would have been stronger. I like the grunge effect and changing to b/w was the way to go. I also like Brenda

Wow the designs are wonderful. I feel that a tighter crop would enhance the OH WOW feeling a bit more.

I feel this would have been an ever more powerful image had you cropped down and just fill the frame with these gorgeous designs. You have the top making us visually confused with part of the roof off. Consider cropping down and see if you like it better. Work on your levels to pop those colours.

Looks like somewhere exotic wish you had said where. There is much busyness behind the main focal point and the bright white wall is quite harsh.

Nice catch but without the top it feels incomplete. Would have suggested you get more "under" the wheel.

You sure did an excellent job of fooling me. Thank you for responding. I'm still not in the mood to go and find something for this contest, although I must say, I'm looking at life around me quite differently thanks to you.

Is there an emoji for dumb dumb dumb.....muy stupido ....I will look, that would be a good one for me.

I wonder how you did this one? Thank you for making me go crazy.

I think the black from really helps to punch out this presentation. The softness of the darker half really is rather romantic. Nice, thank you.

I have been walking around like a lobotomized zombie trying to find something for this contest and VOILA you have found a beauty of an entry. I really like how simple yet strong this upload is...KUDOS for seeing this and bringing it here for our review. Ahhh I see, it is you....no surprise, you have a clever imagination and you got high score from me cherie.

Yes, I thought that face looked familiar

Thank you ....love the quote.

Boy those Google maps are something else huh? I've never been here...yet. Thank you very mucho mucho mucho.

Clear, sharp, interesting, technical aspects well done. I'm drawn to this.

If this was any sharper we would cut ourselves on it ! ! ! ! Not only wonderful macro photography but great with purple contest in mind. Please tell me about your lens and camera stats. Top marks m'dearie.
