    Hello Silvio,

    A superb high pov overlooking this attractive Italian village with good sharpness and lush green meadows. I like the repetition of the neatly ordered rows of trees on the hillside at right. Well composed with the horizon line well away from the centre. Bella weekend!

    Hello Kik

    You've made a bleak industrial area look very attractive in this superb sunset. Good sharpness and saturation with a pleasant warm orange monochrome throughout. I like the soft silhouette of the factories and cranes along the horizon line. Have a great weekend.

    Hello Ryszard!

    A superb upward pov on the ivy clad castle with good sharpness and a nice warm cold color contrast between the blue sky and the reddish yellow facade of the imposing building. Good perspective and excellent symmetry between the 2 upper turrets. Tfs!

    Ciao Rosemary,

    I managed to get to the entrance seen here but the weather was not as good as this and there was a Turk man pestering me to go in the back way. I declined of course. The American woman who was missing was found dead a few days later after she went off with a similar 'guide'. Anyway a fantastic blue sky contrasting against the yellow red domes with good sharpness. Will definitely try again next time I am in Istanbul. It was prayer time around 5 pm too so closed to visitors. Have a nice weekend!

    Bonjour Jean

    I saw of copy of this in Las Vegas but the real thing is generally much better and certainly more authentic! A fantastic blue hour shot with good sharpness and nice streetlight reflections in the canal which adds linear perspective. The bridge is well positioned on the vanishing point. Tfs and bon weekend!

    Good afternoon Stephen,

    One of the few Thai towns I have not spent a lot of time in although I have passed through there by bus a couple of times. The white temple is impressive and the wide angled panoramic crop suits perfectly. Good sharpness and the golden statues and stupas contrast well against the blue sky. Tfs!

    Bonjour Christiane

    A wonderful warm cold colour contrast here between the blue sky and yellow and orange fields of plants. Not sure if they are canola, rapeseed or mustard but whatever they are they look great. Good sharpness and the road at left adds nice lead in lines and perspective. Tfs!

    Effective tight framing with good sharpness and excellent color and saturation. Nice repetition of the patterns and shapes of the seed packets on the revolving stand. Good density and light contrast with superb shadow detail. Bon Weekend!

    Hello Bulent,

    Excellent symmetrical framing with good sharpness and perspective. I like the repetitive patterns formed by the shadows falling across the polished wooden floor and the support columns. A nice frame within a frame shot. Have a nice weekend!

    Ciao Lisa,

    Wonderful symmetrical reflections and well composed using the rule of thirds. Good sharpness and a nice tranquil mood. I like the fg rocks catching the last golden rays of the sun. Or perhaps the oyster shells upon the rocks. So nice of the local police to help you out too. Have a great weekend!

    Hello Miguel

    A superb nocturnal shot of the fun-park with good overall sharpness and nice motion blur of the moving rides. Excellent graphism and nice saturation of the neon lights and still with good shadow detail. The silhouetted back-lit people add scale and context. Bon weekend!

    Bonjour Nicolas

    Fantastic reflections and a quiet moment of tranquility has been captured here. The people top left add a welcome human element and a contemplative air. Love the repetition of the little white circles on the water surface. Bon weekend!

    Salut Serge,

    A well saturated image and the fg reeds or grasses add superb depth as well as repetition. Excellent saturation with punchy light contrasts yet still with excellent shadow detail. The diagonal canal with the reflected blue skylight and the anchored fishing boats adds dynamism. Tfs!

    Hello Ryszard,

    A stunning warm cold colour contrast between the blue and orange as well as the red and cyan, with impeccable sharpness, density and saturation. Punchy light contrasts that enhance the graphism. I like the reflection off the window. Tfs!

    Well managed low level lighting in this superb interior architectural shot wit formidable sharpness and realistic color and saturation. The people add scale and the fg sculture of the female Atlas globe supporters makes a good focal point. Bella weekend!

    Hello Farhat,

    A striking warm vs cold colour contrast between the red magenta facade and roof of the elongated beach house and the blue sky with good sharpness. Nice repetition of the fg posts and railings. I might have played with the levels a bit for better density, as the sky and highlights look a little washed out. Have a great weekend!

    Bonjour Jean-Jacques,

    A nice semi abstract shot of reflected people in the wet sand and tidal pools. Good sharpness and I like the rippled distortions. The hot vs cold colours of red and blue work well here also. Nice repetition of patterns and shapes. Bon weekend!
