Well, johan, don't take it too wholeheartedly, but I can't see any point in your photo.
Let's forget the "learning the world" thingy, as you cannot even remind of the statue name. As for an artistic approach (call it aesthetics or whatever), I will hardly subscribe to what seems like a random try with overblown fuzzy droplets than a really structured image.

Sorry for the mark. ;)

That's an extraodinary pic, Angelo. reminds me one of Burri taken from the top of skyscrapers. Why don't you come more often on PH? I miss your clever shots and your "photo classics" approach.

Sorry, I react slowly. First task completed! but that was the not the dirtiest work of the three... ;)))

I see that even in Turkey, diamonds are a girl's best friend... She is indeed very very nice looking (probably noticing her fine make up and smile, very conscious of her effects) , you were lucky to stumble on a Monica Bellucci look alike at Istanbul Bazaar.

Photowise, I don't even understand why you kept it RVB, for me there is no doubt it should be BW, it's probably a tad blown out on the rings side, Personally I think I would have kept a wide view ESPECIALLY if the whole surroundings were put in total darkness like it seems to.

Aziyade she is, so how can I give you less than a full smile :)

Yes, that's an amazing composition that always work : isn't you're reverse "S" called a "Z" btw ;D...
It takes us seamlessly from the bottom to the top and therefore gives a huge depth to the whole image. On the nitpick side, I wouldn't mind a little more action with the bottom character though, but probably no dogs, cyclists or joggers on this part of the wharf ;) and the time you set up a dog running after a cylist in the bottom right corner, that line of dark luggage, so critical for the photo, would have been sailing the channel.

Woaaw... 06/10/08 03:16 AM : suddenly G. appears and asks the stewardess for a Diet Coke. Immediately after the report of some travelers, Coca Cola bonds increase by 35.9%.

Agnieszka, I don't know what your discussion was about , but I think you're right : you can find mystics any place, you just have to believe in it, that's the way religion works, btw.
Sometimes it just takes a fuzzy/blurry photo, I am guilty of doing it too, but that's funny. (and it's a good one I reckon)
I didin't think he was closer to god one second, I only thought he WAS god all the way.

Suddenly Coca cola bonds decrease by 42.8%.

Every time I get back to your photos they're getting better all the time, Sid. Like the Beatles' song.
No decisive moment, you're kidding, it's pure poetry. And poetry lasts for a century : decisive century category?
PH stuff, buddy.

You know, I usually don't like very much blue color on my palette, I feel it's like a green without any warmth : but as you presented it who would dare say he doesn't love blue colors!
Beautiful : blue like rain water.

What a good idea! any of the two pix would have been ok but probably not full enough to fill up the interest of a single frame.
Like this? this is like a zoom on her life, you give us colors and time. Parfect. Kudos to your montage.

Hey... Mabul...always a joy to remind Mabul & Sipadan. Although, it's funny to see Mabul as an attractive beach resort like in your photo, taken from SMART beach (the 3rd expensive resort on Mabul on top of SWV and Borneo divers -my favorite-).

Looks there are no more bajau boats around there were always plenty anchored near the pier twice I went.

Jerzy, please excuse me but : F*** YOU big time!
Do you think you can get out of this without any explanations?
That's an incredible shot, I simply don't understand how you did it... I'm looking around, thinking and... just left wondering... a clue, puleeeeeeze, Mr Bucki! (is EVERYTHING from the foreground a billboard?)
