Hello Jorge,
This shows typically how much better a monument of any kind becomes with human participation. You presented this nicely with the desaturation of everything except the boy.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Vincent,
"Vivid view" is no exaggeration. We see a fantastic array of colours and small details, all perfectly reflected in the calm water. The good exposure was essential to the impact of the view.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Ike,
Nice capture of this WWII plane. Interesting addition to my recent Spitfire photo :)
Great weather day here and a lovely setting. This one must have been so easy for you to catch, when you are used to photograph planes in flight :)
Very well done,
M

Hello Silvio,
This room also has a beautifully decorated ceiling but nicely plain white walls. As with the last photo there is a soft light which you handled well.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Jorge,
Brazil is indeed a great country for bird photography! I have never seen so many bird species as I do in your TE gallery. THey are so colorful and different from what I am used to in Europe.
This one was nicely captured maybe not as sharp as it could be but still a great catch.
Very well done,
M

Hello Ike,
A fine memorial to air traffic many decades ago. It has a dramatic history and deserves to be seen and photographed.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Costantino,
Great use of your stay in Luxembourg to also explore the neighbouring countries. It is so easy when the country is small you can just travel one two hours and you are in a different country. Living on the island like I live in the UK makes me trapped here, I need to fly most of the time to get out of here.
Lovely street scene here with plenty of light. A lot of action with the two bikers and a stand with deserts as well.
Very nice spot, well captured,
M

Hello Jean,
A nice view with good depth and fine light. The person in the distance is an important eye-catcher.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Costantino,
I don't know Brussels well, so the buildings could have been from anywhere. But the two cyclists on the left side and the sign offering 'Belgian frites' give the view a local accent. The entrance to the next street is very nicely decorated.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Jean,
It is a beautiful place! Yes I remember it but somehow every time the light seems different and effect makes it feel as if it was a different place,
Here a very nice warm light, probably short before the sunset.
Nice to have the silhouette of the person in the distance for a scale,
Excellent capture,
M

Hello Ian,
The mountains are quite attractive and we see a lot more of them in the main photo. The WS has a slightly better light and a well placed tree close to the camera. But trees are well used as frames in the main photo too.
Best regards,
Gert

Ludzie obecni w kadrze pozwalaja lepiej wyobrazic sobie skale tego miejsca.
Wspaniala wycieczka objazdowa, naprwade sporo udalo Ci sie zobaczyc!

Hello Murat,
The main photo shows an amusing sculpture from opposite angles, but my favourite is the curious fox.
Best regards,

Ciao Luciano,
I have never seen a photo like this before! It looks like you are below the flower on the ground and looking up, as if the butterfly was above you, and you were smaller than it.
Amazing quality of the picture. The details of the butterfly are so sharp. The fly is an extra bonus.
Spectacular final effet,
M

Hello Pavle,
We see a small bridge in one photo and a bench in the other, in both cases seen from good angles which also show us part of the attractive surroundings.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Luciano,
With the sky as the background instead of lots of blurred leaves this is close to minimalism. Just a plant, a butterfly and a small fly. Very simple, very beautiful and very sharp.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi David,
Nice capture. It seems like a reunion of the retired rowers team :)
It must be hard to synchronize the work of six people.
Nice effect with the asymmetry,

Czesc Krzysztof,
Sa pogloski ze Rosjanie wyciagaja muzealne eksponaty do walki na Ukrainie. Miejmy nadzieje ze nie bedzie potrzeby aby uzywac kiedys tych eksponatow...
Swietna seria. Przypomina mi to filmy o czterech pancernych :)
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Hi Brenda,
I was confused until I read your note. I somehow assumed that you are outside and that it is a photo of the reflection but the photographer was missing so it was impossible.
Very nice effect and lovely street scene as well. We can see an original view of the Grand Central Terminal and a bit of the Chrysler Building as well.
Great light and final effect!

Hi Paul,
This area seems so rich in attractive destinations that it does deserve to be visited few times. It is pity that TrekEarth maps don't work. It would be also nice if there was a way to dra the route of the trip and compare with the previous trips to this area. Nice point of view here from the low level which is all natural towards the densely built town on top of the cliffs,
Excellent work,
M
