            Many thanks John. And for your input to make me a better photographer (or rather a taker of photos) Keep it up my friend and best wishes.

            Cheers

              I forgot to reply to your proposal:
              “We new a NEW forum where members can post pictures that have gotten awards. How inspiring that would be.”

              For some reason I don’t think this will go down very well with admin! Maybe I’m wrong??

              Keep well

                Thanks a lot @albirder, I suppose you’re right. For me it all boils down to what you wanted to achieve with a photo, does it stick to basic, good photographic principles NB, not rules. Then you want your photo to be critiqued by people who know what they talking about. You’ll notice that I wasn’t active on LS for a long time precisely because of critique that what given by people who don’t even have an album on the site. This Facebook group where I got the first spot is a closed group with almost 10000 members, 12 finalists are chosen and then three winners are announced. Do yourself a favour and visit Artopho group on Facebook. You’ll see the most fantastic work there. Thanks for your “open mindedness” regarding art in general and then photography as a special form of art.

                What’s your opinion @tobiepsg?

                            Hi to you “old buddies” @Nikon-Nut @Tersha and @tobiepsg and new ones @Lburgess and @albirder . Yes, its been a while since I visited LS. There were a few reasons for that, but I’ll be back more often now. Hopefully my photography has made a step up as well?? I’ll let you guys decide đŸ˜‰

                                  @Tobiepsg,,,,,,,,,,,,,LOL. I was going to try and explain to my critique friends @stefb and @reyers, but thought against it. How can one explain nature and sunsets in Hermanus!

                                  Thanks for standing in for me!

                                    Sorry @Tobiepsg, I thought there was something missing! It was a 18-55 mm Nikkor kit lens

                                        Hi Daniel, many thanks for the kind positive comments and advice! The aspect ratio was 1:1. In retro-inspection, I must agree with you that the vignette was a bit overdone and does distract a tad.

                                            @Bharwood and @Andymbody,
                                            Thanks for comments. I agree with the “falling over” and I corrected that. As for the sharpness and contrast that’s “soft” and more vibrant colors??…………..this photo is exactly what I wanted because that was how the scene looked like. I might be wrong, but I do not change a scene just because it might look better. I tend to stick to the original (as I saw it at the time the photo was taken) I’m not talking about altering the composition or change the angles and POV. I’m sorry, but I can’t imagine a more ugly photo than a misty one with vibrant colors. The softer, the better without being monochrome. Again, I saw this scene in color (albeit soft and not vibrant)

                                            Thanks anyway
                                            André
