Een mooi plaatje Ben.
Een goede sfeer heb je hier vastgelegd.
Als ik wat kritiek mag leveren dan zie ik een veilige zeer korte sluitertijd van 1/2000, met een veilig diafragma van 11. Met veilig bedoel ik dat je optimale scherpte kunt verwachten. Dankzij je D300 kun je dit doen met een relatief hoge ASA waarde. Ik schat toch al gauw 3200 of zelfs hoger. Wat je dan krijgt op de grens van het technisch kunnen van je camera is : ruis. Met je sterk inzoomen krijg je verder nog te maken met verminderde resolutie en ook een relatief grote witte rand rond je fietsend silhouet. Ik zou hier toch een wat langere sluitertijd van 1/500 genomen hebben met een wat meer geopend diafragma en een lagere ASA waarde voor een hogere resolutie en minder ruis. Een onderwerp dichter naderen is ook een oplossing want sterk inzoomen is vragen om moeilijkheden. Toch met alle kritiek een goede sfeer,
vriendelijke groet,
Paul

Dear Stan,
first of all my best wishes for the New Year. Happiness and Health to you and what a beautiful white park landscape that is such inviting for making a walk on New Years Day.
Moody or exciting depending on the character, past and perspectives of those who really pass through this landscape,
or those who see it through your lens,
kind regards,
Paul

Dear Ania. Do you still pass a lot of time with your friends at primary school when you had the age of 12 ? Apply the same rule for the time you will be 36 years old and you look back just 12 years. Find yourself teachers and teach others. If you keep on with "teaching" me I will keep on with "teasing" you :-)
You know very well the life of a cat is about 12 years and cats apparently are not too sentimental with birds and mice,
learn simply from them.
hugs,
Paul

Usually the Swedish know very well how to construct a solid building. Here it shows that too easy access to liquor could also have caused the problem. My advice is to keep the taxes as high as possible as it has always been.
hugs to you Ania,
Paul

It is already a long time ago that Latin was frequently spoken on the banks of the Seine river :-), so I found your title as "l´Art pour l´art" somewhat more familiar to me.
If art is like a spiritual direction in life, some even make a living out of it, others consume it on top of their basic needs, still two billion or more people that can perfectly live without art, but not without food and health care.
So it does not surprise me that this pedestrian, if returning from shopping or going to work does not notice any offered art exposure, instead of anything else more basic needs you find more frequently offered in street shops.
Best to you photo art and you Vehbi,
kind regards,
Paul

Funny result,
but it does not surprise me, that if shooting hundreds of pics with a strong zoom, some will result into one head catching another causing the funny effect of one single animal appearance.
I saw this surprise idea before in a wildlife shooting in South Africa with two Giraffes
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1501822.html
I think it is worth showing yours too
You could add it also to category : humour
cheers,

Nice abstract Stan. The post work is making the picture.
My personal taste tells me that the vertical white scratches at the left are somewhat too dominant, but the horizontal lines on the background give harmony and a pleasing fill,
have a nice weekend my friend,

It is a great moment shot with "two at once" It is an accomplishment to be proud of Charles. If I could give you some advice is positioning your camera, or focus your attention on something more attractive than a green plastic object as background. Another advice is cropping even more and that for the lower black spots, but I see that you already cropped a lot with not enough resolution and sharpness left for your insects. You need a camera with more than 5 Million pixels as you used, to allow you more cropping, cheers, Paul

Nice portrait and wonderful colour post processing Nanda.
You can make yourself as colourful as you like to be, that is the beauty of photography. It modifies your identity into the direction you have in mind as an ideal :-)

I thought it was water, but if you say it is light Ania, I will believe you for one time :-)
So if it is not water, it would not be a whale that got lost in the pond, ready for diving under the bridge. Also it is strange that somebody got the idea to build his house on the bridge.

Paul
