Spectacular, David.  My favorites are the 1st (all yellow) and the last two.   The wonder of physics, eh?

I agree with others – a fee is a reasonable solution.   I was unaware of the magnitude of the spam problem plaguing LS, which shows what a good job you are doing.   Thanks to Rob and LS team for such a great site,

I love bugs.  Both shots are interesting, Diane.  Are the bubbles in the 1st one water drops?   I’ve never seen a little critter that looks like this – its antennae (if that’s what they are) are great – they look so heavy to cart around!

Thanks Petr & Patrick!

Thank you, Joanne,  Dahlia, & Bruce.!   I was on my stomach with about 2 feet of ledge in front of me (with friend holding my feet).   I couldn’t see any more of the tree than is in the image.  The shadow on the ocean is the cliff.   It seemed a long drop but couldn’t tell.   Here is another spot close to the one above where you can see the edge…[Read more]

@diripics     Wow, Graham!    How did you do this?      Is your reflection the pinkish halo in upper left, between the left and middle of the brownish columns?

I’ve never been to Venice.  These are amazing shots, and in covid terms the empty blue chairs spreading out over the plaza is very powerful.

Compelling, Paul!   Great use of space.

This is great, Elin.   Your reversal of reflection and bird really quacked me up!  🙂

Lena, I like the color version better.  The hues are understated and beautiful.  The blues/greys seem to show the fence and plants more sharply, and the figure is still a silhouette, underneath grey and wandering off into blue.

I like Tobie’s version a lot.  Softer hues for background, good crop, crisper bird.   Great view of a little scraggly creature – realistic.

Congrats, Laurie G!   Fascinating flower.

Elin, this is spectacular – such current in the river, and fishermen so tiny in the vast landscape.   I enjoyed the view in FLKR, where even the distant snow-capped mountains are so crisp.

Love it –  yes, you were Horsbied!  Or maybe I was Falxyied?  🙂

Well, I’m glad you were able to get at least 2 shots while working hard to avoid being thrown about by the heavy swells!

Hi Greg.  I like this shot.  My suggestion is to reduce the amount of the orange foreground rock to not have it dominate the eye.  This allows the river to continue running down left, off the edge of the photo because there is no rock there.

So, here is my suggested crop – I also cropped in a bit from the left

I prefer the composition as is – “landscape” aspect ratio —  because I really like seeing the full length of the fence.   Suggest making the slight adjustment of rotating the image to straighten the left-most post to have it parallel to the edge of the image.

Was this originally shot in color?

Congrats, Graham and Patrick!  well done.
