salut Pascale

This sculpture is similar to many others and Cambodia where it is 7th century. But I am surprised to see it on the street and it is a common place for worship. As always your portrait and environment surround it gives a great story.

bonour Pierre :)

I imagine it must be snowing season now in Quebec, I saw Shawinigan's snow. This is a great fall color on the river and it reminds me of my years in Canada. Really nice scenery :)

Great work.

hi Paolo

What a nice view of the perspective from this POV, when you find a slope of green to contrast well with the blue water.

I like the small size of tower at the top of the cliff.

p/s Santo of Australia mentioned about you at our TE grouping 2 months ago.

Ciao Giorgio

I must have heard of Santo talking about you. Another is Paolo. And he has been thinking of asking you to visit Australia, no?

I have just gone there and now it is your turn to be sweet talked into it. You will not regret it for sure.

The light is very interesting in this capture because it looks like a dull sky in the background but you are able to get a nice mid-tone level out for the cluster of buildings which really make this much more pleasing to look at.

Nice work.

Ciao, bill

How is life? So far so good? And where is the man on a motorbike, have you seen him streaking across Bangkok lately? :p

I want to ask, why is it that you have not shot and posted men of photogenic calibre? Why must it be women portraits? Have you not seen a good looking man that you will die for to shoot him? Let's see some nice looking men and leave the ladies for others to shoot! :)

But you are right! She is lovely with the hat and the bluish eyes. A great looking woman.

What a place with name of siolim and I know a guy of siolaw :) Are they related?

Take good care, both of you! Shall we meet again in Bangkok sometime? Yes we will.

Cheers, bill

hi Lisa

Naturally Australia is on my mind right now :) because of you and because of this bridge that I have yet to see. Therefore I am drooling in seeing this upload. You probably would know every twist and turn of any angle to view the best part of the bridge and the Opera. This is a great view of the under side with clarity at long exposure which has become your signature domain. The tiny outline of the Opera still makes its presence despite the distance. Overall, I admire this with envy.

Although this last tag may not please you. I have wondered what makes the reflection on the bottom right which appears to me like a seemingly foundation pier kind of thing although I know it is not and could be a camera trick.

My last hurray, shall I say?

hi G

Honestly speaking I also cannot quite make out any heads from this photo but I can see the couple sitting on the bench drooling and watching 3 girls walking pass with low-cuts.

The brief note helps to understand the misfit :)

If this photo sits in my memory card, it is most likely be in delete category even before it is copied onto my computer disc. But I know each of us has a different ideals and we shoot for different purposes and objectives.

Then I read about your last line and it surprises me a bit although not entirely. Given the state of affairs at IB, I hope things will change fast but it does not look so to me, so I have left.

Since I now cannot post a photo for you as I thought I could do, with simply a title called handsomely as G, perhaps let this be my last critique here for you. It is also a critique that is given to a photo which I have learned to delete but now find it a good cause to award it a green smiley, for all your efforts of helping fellow photographers.

Though I may not be familiar nor know your style of photography. Take care.

hi Yuriko

Very special angle to shoot the wheel with the big curve. If the speed is slow spin, I think you will not scream on the ride.

I think you can brighten it by increase level.

Nice work.

hi Andre

I admire your skill of HDR which still retain natural flavor of the landscape scenery of this Park's rock formation. It is a great shot.

hi Andrew

How I envy your holiday trip 5 weeks or more to places mentioned and with Tamron 18-250mm you do not need anything else :)

I imagine you have a few memory cards to sort out when you return home, but it seems you are able to post during your trip, so it must be some casual schedule in between.

I thought this would be Netherlands or Germany with the canals and locks but Hertfordshire! A nice capture and what a way to travel. Informative note and plenty of details to see in this photo.

You are lucky to be away from Melbourne for 2 reasons, the cold and the flu. Meantime enjoy you stay.
