Hi Craig, this is so beautiful indeed. I like the extraordinary blue or green color tones. You have nicely included the rock formations in the foreground. The clouds make such an attractive sky! Beautiful landscape and truly inviting to visit Iceland. Excellent work, M

Hi Jorge, this is a truly extraordinary church indeed! Very well spotted, and having seen so many photos from this area I don't recall seeing this one ever before. Fantastic architecture and color as well. Thank you for sharing it! M

Hi Jorge, We had a lot of Lenin monuments in communist times but they were all removed. I think somebody collected them in a museum. Now we have Pope John Paul II everywhere instead :) Nice capture here showing such an important aspect of this country. In addition to Lenin we see also a symbol of Soviet Union behind. I thought they would remove it but it seems there is still some sentiment to the old system there. Great reportage, M

Hi Miguel, what a charming spot! The fountain makes a pleasant old stylish foreground which behind we see nicely colored house. Everything surrounded by attractive vegetation. Nice to see as well the ladies in scarves which in Malaysia are so colorful! They add a lovely touch here as well. Very well seen and captured, M

Hi Ike, very attractive composition with nice combination of the lush vegetation and the attractive architectural elements like the balconies, flower pots etc. Maintaining a place like this must be a full time job really. Very well spotted scene, M

Hi Jean, We are discussing with my wife what to do if our holidays get cancelled this summer. Should we co to Cornwall finally? But then again the prices will probably sky rocket and what to do if the weather gets wet? It is over 7 hours drive from us... But your photos are truly encouraging to go there. This is a wild side, so very photogenic. You didn't have the optimal light here, slight fog in the sky and on the horizon has dispersed the light, in the result the colors are less pronounced but it still appear so impressive thanks to amazing rock formations and pleasant for the eye composition. Great reportage, M

Hi John, very attractive church which seems to be standing in a rural setting. Old stylish and well taken care of. Beautiful postcard style presentation, exactly as I like it. You have selected a perfect angle here. The asymmetry cause by the presence of tower is pleasing to the eye. I really like it, M

Hi Bev, beautiful rural scenery with the focus on abundant yellow flowers! Nice wide view with the repeated motif of the house in the distance, Yes the weather was amazing this May.I made a great use of that as well. Now it is back to normal but plants need water so much so I am glad it rains every day now. The only think which bothers me about this photo is the feeling that it is not straight. I suppose it may be cause by the effect of you kneeling towards the field. Very attractive spot and a great idea to make the foreground out of the flowers, M

Hi Ian, this is an amazing sight! It was definitely worth to take a plane tour! The perspective completely changes the idea about this place. Having said that, the photos from the ground are equally spectacular. I like the play of the water with the earth. Such interesting shapes and colors. Simply breath taking! My favourite subject of all! M

Bonjour Jean, this is a very charming beach composition. Great idea to focus on the beautiful and colorful flower while the distant blur of the shore makes a pleasant background. I think I will copy your idea on the next occasion. Excellent work, M
