This is when I like TE at it's best . . . a photo with a good note.

Thank you for telling the story about this village . . . thank you for the photo . . . I like the contrast of the beige world . . . blue sky and the girl . . . a splash of color going through a door with the same color as the sky.
The composition is funny with the dog placed on the wall looking to the girl.
Less funny is the roofs . . . indicating that the houses are poor . . . but I could be mistaken! . . .

good TE moment! thanks for sharing . . .
regards,
David

Although it looks very simple . . . it's beautiful.
It's difficult posting a photo of something that has been shot to boredom . . . but you defenately succeeded to make one of the best posts of something like this in a long time . . . good use of the B&W . . . I like the note, the contrast of looking up and describing how you can look down on Paris from the hill. compliment!

Central Europe is a plce for B&W . . . India is color!
good composition . . . bit too much red, but it's sort of ashion to blast colors nowadays . . . would have liked to see the woman's face . . . still . . . incredible shot!

best contribution in ages :)
I'm not looking for the beautiful pictures on TE, but the ones that tell a story . . . and starting the day with a smile is the best thing that can happen!
6 'traktors' (as my daughter calls them - she loves machines . . .!) flattened in a perspective . . . it seems thay have hardly any space to move . . . as if they are eating the town . . .
good shot . . . also technically with good colors and details in the shadows.
regards to Obama and the mayor!

Oleg,

The photo is stunning . . . but it belongs more on TL . . . TE is a travel site and TL is for everything else :)

regards,
David

Daniel,

I think it is a good photo, but it belongs on TL and not TE.
I don't see the connection between the child and the info about the shopping center to be important enough to be presented as 'learning about the world'. The photo has more merrit on itself :)

regards,
David

Good photo . . . when I saw the thumb I wondered what I could learn from it . . . but as soon as it started to load . . . I knew the monument.
The composition is good . . . the tilted line is somewhat distracting . . .
still . . . simple and effective.

Kevin,

It has been (too) long since I visited your photo's . . . and my eyes came across this one.
I enjoyed the note . . . and I'm beginning to wonder if your portfolio is starting to become the travelers guide to Budism :) . . . all you need now are some more places in China and you're complete :)

After reading the note and looking at the photo . . . I must say I like the note better . . . something is not feeling good . . . maybe the sky was washed out and you tried to correct it . . . I don't know.
Like Henk (oochappan) sais; India is impossible without color . . . but with this level of saturation I could immagine a B&W.
sorry for the critique . . . I mean it well :)

points are off . . . so it's all in bare honesty.

best of luck,
greetings,
David

Aaaaah . . .

4 years . . . and then again 4 years
prayers didn't even work anymore . . .
every time a promise came . . .
you could bet his guys where doing something opposite . . .

the guy was smiling George . . .
infectivly . . .
I've seen him . . . twice

you get what you deserve . . .
that's what I thought . . .
never thought it would effect my business as well . . .

let's never talk about junior again,
my hope is not on color,
not on the US,
my hope is on people who do the right thing . . .
for all people . . . no matter how much tax they pay :)
