You have caught the attention of 5 of those guys! I feel a tighter crop would have made for a stronger image as there really is no strong focal point to hang our hats on. It is a happy snappy image....and sometimes that is just fine and is exactly what others want to see. A change of POV, shooting like no other photographer transports an image from ordinary into the realm of extraordinary. Also, if there is something you want to show us, get in closer, and show us. I do like the airy free feeling you have caught here.

3.60 Euros for 200 grams??? Are you living in a real world? Maybe I am living in a dream world. Never mind. I love your post for this is a scene one would see in an open market and I find it very enticing. You posted this full frame without many disturbing other pieces of information...just nuts sin sal or naturalemente....que bueno. The photograph is nice and sharp in dead center where you want us to look, the colour saturation is natural and your contrast is smack on the money. YUM

I like the mystery of this portrait. Having her look "over there" versus at you further adds meat to the story. She is behind bars, looking towards......well, you can read a lot into this post. The shot is well composed, balanced, good skin tones...(have you tried soften skin lever on NIK software?). Nice contrast, sharp and clear. You need to put your title TRAPPED....into where you have your entry number. Titles matter and often in gallery showings a title can mean the difference between a sale and no sale.

I really am drawn to the chiaroscuro effect of this post. I think even a tighter crop would work to really pull us into those gorgeous eyes and curls. Have you considered lightening the eyes a bit to open the "gates to his soul" and thereby mesmerizing the viewer?

This is really very nicely done and I quite like it.

I liked this entry quite a bit. Congrats on #3.

Congrats on #2 and #1 as well. YAYA

Congrats on this win, I liked this entry a lot.

..........see I knew you would be fun.....

OH GROAN

Ahhh, at long last, nothing to gross, instead it's sweet.

I bet you are fun to be with at a party!

Love it....simply love it. It's so gross.

Top marks, this is great. Now why couldn't I have thought of that as I have elephant photos and a similar cicada. Sometimes I feel like I've got marmalade between my ears.

ewwwwwwwwww gross....ick. BUT good!

What an imagination. Good grief, this is good.

Love it...simple and strong.

Sensational....clear, humourours, crisp. LOVE IT>

Top marks....love it. Clear , punchy to the point.

Fantastic imagination you have....love it.

hmmmm my emoji didn't work....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

HOLY GUACAMOLE....this is just superb. I feel like kissing him :kisses2:

Another top notch post. I give up.

OMG this is goooooood.

UP YOUR ISO !

I really value your comments, wish you would critique more so I could become a better photographer through your suggestions. Thanks

A lovely posed photo that warms our hearts. You zoomed in and thereby a lot of noise is showing. I do love the eye connection.

Good eye, good shot, exciting and effervescent! Top marks.

Yes, this is lovely, artistic, showing great detail, sharp and crisp. Nice, I should have known it was yours...top of the shelf!

Hey, this is full of mystery and for some reason, I thought it was Michael Jackson. It is a tad dark, cloaked in ghost like features.

Thank you so much for saying that...I do wish more members would explain the process then peons (like me) would be able to learn from you. This image is sharp and crisp on the center and softens nicely into a black background, that darkness makes the rose pop out well. Good for you with the exposure because you have no bleeding at all and yellow is one of the hardest colours to photograph.

Now, why couldn't I have thought of that? I like this but it is a bit soft , n'est-ce pas?

OMG The emotive element is top of the shelf here! KUDOS to you for capturing this shot so clearly in low light conditions. What was your ISO? Frankly, I think this is award-winning photography and I feel privileged to study it.

Top marks for this inspirational image. Your point of view really makes it for me bringing us down and showing what is up ahead. You have the darkneses of the distance which gives mystery, and the snowy slippery road which gives a sense of danger. The photograph is well exposed giving white snow with no overcast of blue. What is that orange light giving so much warmth...I like it, just can't figure out what it is? Very lovely shot DMitry, I used to live and work in an environment like this in Northern Canada.

Simply a lovely portrait image composed to the side with plenty of black to give it a Rembrandt feel of chiaroscuro. The image is pin sharp, emotion has been caught because of your timing. It is really a joy to review this photograph. Top marks.

'whodathunkit' a moon and a lamp post! You surely need photographer's eyes to spot this. KUDOS to you for bringing it to us and thereby inspiring all of us to see the world around us with a different perspective and insight.

I like the coldness of blue juxtaposed with a light bulb which is usually warm, so this tricks our brains (my brain, such as it is) into seeing deeper into the photograph because we feel it as well as see it. Nice one. Top notch.

The predominantly large blackness of this shot really makes the focal point(s) jump out at us in clariy. I also think your compoistion is very good to the side like that. This image engages the viewer instantly with hot heat and cold death scene.

really like the artistic handling of blow out....you used it to your advantage and it works...well done.

Sharp, clear , great stitching....lovely quality of tonal ranges. Top notch mon petite chou chou.

Much much better in high resolution.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOO I did it. Thank you.

I'm an idiot.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is gorgeous. It looks like an alien creature that is eating my inner ear and working it's way into my brain. I really like how the sun is behind the thing and the trees look like tentacles that will suck the life right out of my skull. You have no noise, tightly cropped nice colour paltette and just really great. I'm going now to look up how to do this technique. What a great site to learn all this new stuff. Your work is inspirational. Thank you.

see it didn't work I typed in the code which is :hammer and nothing shows up.

waaaahhhh what a whole load of hard work :hammer

But I'm here in this comment box and I scrolled to the bottom of the page and there is nothing there. So, are you saying I have to go out of this comment box ....and carry an emoji from another page to over here. Please don't laugh at me....I'm a wee tad retarded when it comes to computers (and photoshopping beautiful images like on the photoshop section of this site).

..........all the good ones are.......grrrrrrrrrrr.

I like your emoji...how can I do that? Yes, I understand what you are saying. We needed to remove our shoes at some temple in Nepal and the whole place with full of monkey shit, bird shit, the steps exhaled the stench of human urine....sacred, yeah right.
