Hi - spectacularly brilliant! BUT - your mastery of the subtleties and detail and your excellent composition are bumped sideways by the strength of the white out burn coming through the clouds - you some times get complete burn like this in nature but this is too unnatural because it covers such a wide area - I understand all of your difficulties with the light management of the image - but the lower two thirds have a level of skill and mastery which is not fully realised in the top third......what do you do - with image making abilities such as this you carry on towards perfection!! I enjoyed your image immensely.

A very warm welcome to TE!

I really like this J - a more up-market environment but somehow reminiscent of a style or approach which signifies your work from the tenements in Poland. The man, dog and child populate your image so well - and the composition with the strong shadow pointing in a triangle to the man and then out again through the dog and the girl is a little masterpiece of geometric integrity!

Brilliant! Each face and expression is essential to the image - and you came away with the first ingredients for a meal - although perhaps it meant something quite different - well this photo IS something quite different - I hope you said "It's OK folks I'm a doctor!"

Beautiful tones - just for that alone this image excites me but then as a bonus the perspective puts us right in there in the experience - wonderful!

Love the light here and you caught the moment perfectly - they fit the context too well my friend! A nice birthday present!

ahh I know that feeling - a very nice shot _ I like the small depth of filed and the focus it puts on the boy's face - very nicely framed for maximum effect.

A very nice perspective based image with a well caught human moment to give us that vehicle for your own nostalgic reflection on life......good one!

Love this image - the life and rhythm of the passengers contrasted with the complex lines and light and shadows of the building is excellent - not perfect tonally but the contrast works well to highlight the essential feel for life which the image conveys - very nicely composed right down to the slightly worried looking guy in the bottom right corner.

A favourite of this year.

Very nicely observed and isolated for a strong effect - the spot of red against the icy sheen works well although I might have been tempted to get it even nearer the bottom left third - but the choice is not always ours in these things!

nice work Kev

105 different scenarios to stir the imagination....and beyond that 105 more and 105 more ......endlessly making connections, looking after sustenance, doing the business of making the world go round......nicely captured in this block of life as it's happening!
