Ciao Luciano

There are a couple of butterflies here that have iridescent colours on their wings too. The Great Eggfly is attracted to lantana flowers, an introduced plant from South America. Maybe next Spring I should try to learn how to take a rapid series of images and delete all bar the best one?

Hi Krzysztof

Perhaps one day there will be an historic museum of Ukrainian uniforms and weapons, hopefully in a free and independent Ukraine. The rifles and swords look menacing. Tfs!

Hola Luis

For a moment I thought the boats had their own rope ladder to the top of the seawall, but the stairs are cut into the cliff. Good colour, sharpness and lighting. Tfs!

Ciao Silvio

An interesting account of Proserpine. I never knw she was the Roman equivalent of Greek Persephone. Also an interesting myth about the reason for winter and the absence of flowers and grain in winter when she is in the underworld for 4 months with Pluto / Hades. Tfs!

Hello Jean

The roof being rethatched nearing completion makes it look better already. Good to include the workman too. Excellent sharpness and elevated pov. Tfs!

Hello Craig

A good aerial drone shot of the circular geodesic dome with a bonus backdrop of Vancouver City. Good sharpness, colour and framing. Tfs!

Hi Kari

The shoreline reminds me a bit of the Helsinki Harbour entrance which I did walk along, all the way to the Uspenski Cathedral and Skywheel. The weather was very much better in Finland. Tfs.

Hej Gert

A superb elevated view of the old part of the city with the 2 fg girls animating the scene. Good colour, sharpness and lighting. The workshops compliment the main upload post. Tfs!

Hi Lars

This looks very familiar! The street market adds life to this scene. Good colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Here's a shot I took a few years earlier in the same street:

Hi Ian

Not quite as spectacular as the mountain range of the same name in Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand, but has its own charm nevertheless. Excellent choice of a wide angled panoramic format with good colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Malgo

A nice aerial view of London approximately from the top of the Tower Bridge looking west. The Shard at left is instantly recognisable. The musician with a harp at right adds depth and layering and a 3d effect. Tfs!

Hi Malgo

Luckily these people were in London and not Venice or the 'seating' police would have ask all of them to move to an al fresco restaurant or face a fine. The circular fountain nicely leads the eye all around the museum courtyard. Tfs!

Hej Gert

The blue and yellow colours of Sweden repeated twice in one frame is in fact special. The trifecta is completed with the Ikea logo, another patriotic icon. The Japanese text on the door at right is intriguing. Wonder what's in there? Tfs!

Hello Bev

Superb use of differential focus with perfect sharpness on the hungry starling chick and nice blurred oof bg. Excellent colour and sharpness. Now for a look at the workshops. Tfs!

Hi Ike

The yellow nosecone and rear tail fin add a vibrant warm cold colour contrast against the blue sky. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Salut Pierre

A diificult shot with strong light contrasts but a reasonable result. Good sharpness, colour and lighting. I wonder what they do with all the animals and birds when a hurricane is approaching? Perhaps they have sturdy shelters? Tfs!

Hej Gert

A well observed and timed capture of the wheelchair bound woman observing the road rules. Good sharpness and the road adds a built in grey scale! Tfs!

Hello Ali,

An exquisite looking building with amazing repetition of patterns and shapes. The people add scale and animate the scene. Morocco had the same scalloped ceilings. Tfs!

Hello Costantino,

The man with the mini parasol shaped hat in various striped colours would be worth a photo in his own right! Good sharpness and lighting. Tfs!
