Marvelous Polonaise !

Spending some moments back on TE, I was already attracted by the thumb, now I see the smiling appreciative expression of this "amateur", which deserves (even or despite your warning in the text) a full green monkey, also for your talent to entertain or amuse us.

Bravo and please keep posting - I'm watching from time to time !

It's true that sometimes negative things can be beautiful, this orange glow is inspiring but the passers by don't seem to notice it...

(NB : sorry for the delay and thank you for the workshop that you did one month ago and to which I just answered now... not bad, given the fact that you had to start from a very small photo ; having moved to Flickr, I have there the possibility to improve my photos and replace them as often as I wish, so I have a better version (not perfect) here :

Fantastic, how fascinating !

The face is rather mephistophelic, the white line on the right a pure mystery... I like the reference to Bunuel, anyway I'd say it's very cinematic !

... These are the kinds of photos I love to look for on flickr, many groups with such interesting dreamy photos...

(PS : I'm now informed about you by Korkut, best wishes for the future and hope to meet you again one day !)

These caves have such strange forms, here I see rather a sort of egg lying on one side... And that site under restoration in Ürgüp is not (yet) that touristy, so I remember well the occasion, it was fun - will you come back ?

Dear Burcu, congrats and best wishes for the great news, BTW !

I think that this photo shows very well the soul of Paris - anyway, this is exactly how I saw it when I was there recently, here with a great POV and perspective !

... and this one is beautiful too, I like it just after the preceding one in your gallery but I must admit that for me, the former one has my preference -- please add more of this series or of this kind if possible, please, your portraits of women are tender, elegant and beautiful !

Dear Deniz, really nice to see you back ! This one is marvellous, no doubts - I love the pose of the girl, but why is she leaning uncomfortably on that chair when the inviting hammoc is waiting for her ? Rhetorical question, of course - her pose is just perfect for the photo !
... A photo that reminds me of the Symbolists in painting... But it's great photography, congrats !

Such a dignified way of posing ! Colours are stricking, the clothes are splendid... you are venturing in remote places to show us another aspect of India, far from the usual clichés ; watching your gallery is always a sort of "adventure" !

... Skin textures are fantastic on this one, the framing too... Great PP !!
Not sure if there is a special message, except for the happy smile ; another photo that deserves more success, in fact it's really a great one IMO !

Bravissimo,
Katarzyna

Dear George, it's getting late and I'm lazy - sometimes, I think that photos don't need much litterature for comments and/or critiques, here specially I'd like to add just a great :
;-)))
!!!
As Claire wrote before, you are really the "enfant terrible" of TE, a site that needs people like you to tease us and ... how did you put it in your intro ? It's exactly that !

"Well done", anyway !
Again, you know how to make us smile, thanks goodness !
Compliments,
Cath.
