Funny play on words, Bev. :))
I know what you mean about feeling a stranger. I have TRIED to take pictures lately and just seem to have lost all interest. Don't even take them of my grandsons.

This is a sweet shot and it's nice to see a summery scene. It's so gray and bleak here. Lovely color, really nice detail and I love that hair. Especially with the sun shining on it the way it is. That truly is a very regal wave, too.. :)) I was just wondering about you today and how the weather was treating you. Hope you are well and having a wonderful holiday season. Many thanks and all my best wishes,
Shelly

BEAUTIFUL shot, Gildas!!
Brilliant clear color, marvelous light, excellent POV with the two sided view of the church. I love how perfectly straight the lines of the church are and the colors of the flowers and sky frame it wonderfully. Perfect sharpness and detail, too. Just fabulous! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Warm greetings, my friend, Takero...
this is such a lovely, warm photo. It's wonderful how her pretty small face is surrounded by all that warm light and excellent bokeh and the yet the sharpness is perfect where it should be. On her features. She looks a bit apprehensive and you caught the expression well. You do SUCH a great job at these kinds of shots. Many thanks and hope you are well!

A very dramatic shot, Soumyadeb,
I love the starkness and the trees' silhouettes against that stormy looking sky. Very nice tones and shadings and you can FEEL the energy of the storm. I like the different areas of light and dark and the people silhouetted on the beach. Really nice shot... Many thanks and kindest regards,

Beautiful shot, Denis!
There are so many cool elements to it. That curving golden shoreline, glass calm water, wonderful sky... Outstanding composition, marvelous clear color, perfect clarity and sharpness. I just like everything about this shot! GREAT job! Many thanks and warmest wishes,

Ha, Urs,
that is SO cool. That zippy little thing sure doesn't look like the "cinque cento" I remember from Naples in the late '70's. :)) That's a sharp looking little car. And a great shot. The exposure is reeeeally good and it seems you didn't have the greatest lighting conditions. Well composed, nice tight crop and the little girl stands out beautifully in her pink outfit. Outstanding detail, too. Hey, maybe they'll start selling those over here now, eh? Well done and thanks for a fun memory... :))

What a splendid view, Andre!
I like the view looking down and back. Wonderful color and clarity, excellent sharpness and exquisite detail. The lighting is perfect - even with all their white robes there is nothing OE. A very interesting and informative note, too, and I liked the WS. The priest has a charming face. :)) VERY well done! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly
