Very nice impression from the festival, Takero. Good detail not only on the artistic print of the uniform, but also the surface texture of the cloth is quite well rendered. The strong tele-lens also gave you a fine DOF to offset the guy in the background. Well seen.

Hi Pierre. A nice sweeping view across the vineyards, showing the pleasant and scenic location of this village. The vivid seasonal colors and details are well accentuated by the good lighting that you had when taking this photo. Good notes, too.

こんにちは Hisashi. A fine deep perspective along this lineup of jizo statues, well contrasted and vividly colorful. A beautiful introduction to this piece of Japanese culture, well captured.

And, finally, a humble "thank you" for putting a link to my photo :)

As a workshop, and as a present for you, I will post a photo that I took two months ago of these jizo statues at the same location. Sorry for the small size, I don't have a bigger one available at the moment.

Hi Linda. Graz is the town where I was born, and I always enjoy to see other people's photos from there. This is a good angle on Eggenberg, taken from behind the palace as it appears to me. Well composed, and a good post-work on the contrast and colors to get an almost painterly impression. Interesting notes, too.

Indeed a calming and soothing view here, Philippe. The reflections amplify the impact of this peaceful view with the old roofs making an appearance amidst the vivid greenery.

Hallo Frank. Ein schönes Foto, das die alte Kirche inmitten der idyllischen grünen Umgebung zeigt. Klare Details und eine sehr angenehme Farbenpalette. Nicht zuletzt auch eine sehr informative Note, wie man es von Deinen Uploads gewohnt ist. Einen guten Start in die neue Woche!

Salut JY. I see you enjoyed a sunny outing on the Mainau. Nice classical framing for this one, with the church making a fine appearance in the colorful setting.

Nice view, Chris, well chosen POV to benefit from the colorful arrangement of flowers as a slightly unusual pairing with the ocean scenery. Good choice of vertical format.

Hello John. This looks like a pleasant place that you are well presenting with the wide-angle lens that strengthens a feeling of depth and perspective, as usual in your photos. The contrast is also good, and the reflections are well utilized to amplify a quiet overall mood. I am however a little disturbed by two things: (1) the photo looks quite oversharpened, and (2) the framing/cropping is a bit unfortunate, leaving little space for the rooftops and treetops in the upper area, but instead giving a little too much attention to the not overly interesting foreground. I hope you don't mind my honest opinion here.

Hi Leo. Nach dem ganzen Ärger der letzten Tage ist es irgendwie beruhigend und ermutigend, die vier jungen Mönche bei ihrem Tagewerk zu beobachten. Sehr schöne Aufnahme, in der die "Jungs" (wenn man das sagen darf) sich wunderbar von der Umgebung abheben.
Und in der Tat ist die völlige Ignoranz und Nichtbeantwortung von Forumbeiträgen durch IB ein großes Problem. Da kann man nur auf Besserung hoffen, allein es fehlt der Glaube ...
Schönen Feiertag.
