Hi Ana,
My best guess is that you felt attracted by the colours of the boat. The combination of yellow and blue colours play well in your composition.
However, I'd have preferred a more detailed compo showing these beautiful colours against that blue sky. Just an idea.

Hi Benny,
I think your street graffiti shots series is a nice one. This is my favourite. Good definition.
It could also have been titled 'I love China'.

Hi Korkut,
After having seen your WS, the 'real' post would have been my choice too. The 'souls' shown on your WS are a bit centred, 'within the frame' as one could probably say.
I find your image highly interesting and unusual from a composition point of view.
I want to see more of these ones!
Regards,
Maria

Hi Patrick,
Many thanks for all your comments. Highly appreciated.
The smile on her face is priceless.
Love this palette of soft colours.
Excellent sharpness for such an image in motion.
Regards,
Maria

Hi Ihsan,
I am not used to se Chinese landscapes in B&W and I'd admit that this one attracts me like a magnet.
Superb quality on the pp treatment. Good range of mid-tones.

Maria

Hola Manuel,
Me gusta mucho tu POV que situa a estas senoritas en el centro-derecha de la imagen. No me suelen gustan mucho las imagenes que centran los subjects.
Si yo hubiera tomado esta imagen, le hubiera dedicado mas espacio al mar porque tiene unos tonos azules preciosos y menos arena, sobre todo la del foreground que no aporta nada a la imagen.
Saludos,
Maria

Hola Angie-Barcelona!
Buenas textures en la cara aunque diria que le falta un poco de definicion.
Me gusta mucho el encuadre. Y estoy de acuerdo con Charo, ese background is to die for. Los colores son preciosos.

Maria

Hola Philippe,
After having seen the 'more general view here', no wonder why you decided to show us a detail of this amphitheater! ;-)
Like the transition of those white rectangular shaped things into black ones.

I have never seen anything like this before.
Fantastic hues.
