what did Sir Winston Churchill say? 'you can fool some people some of the time or some of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time!' Photo of a non-descript American subdivision, but it could be anywhere in Ontario, like Kitchener.Is this the kind of theme you in your artistic taste and wisdom would take trouble to photograph? and of course 38 points, but always from the same group of people. What you have here is a well organized 'claque' - like in Italian opera houses where a primadonna hires a bunch of good-for-nothings to applaud her for a sum of money. I greet you warmly.

kedvenc tavam, Judit. Tudod-e hogy a nagy zeneszerzo Richard Wagner lakott tobb evig ennek a tonak partjan a Tribschen nevu villaban, Luzern mellett? Itt vette el Cosimat felesegul es itt irta meg neki a Siegried Idyllt.Na mindegy, szep hangulatos kep, de egy kis Photoshop sokat segitene rajta es nagyobb is lehetne. Udv Jancsi

Barbara, you are back from Europe to show us non-descript buildings in the beautiful Southern US sunshine and immaculate blue sky. You hope I like it? No, I don't. This is not architecture, this is phony commercial garbage - just look at the phony parapets that have no reason to be there.I have more to say to you, but not here as you're liable to report me.

It's interesting that you all of a sudden are capable to use the latin alphabet and the English language. Of course, you have to do that in order to get all those points. This photo is not bad, well composed in a nice light, but it is obviously a scanned photo with a poor,grainy texture on the sky. 48 points only means that you have a lot of buddies.

sorry, no French, pas france..., but this is a very nice foto of an impressive river with suitable 'hiver' sky. Jancsi

hahaha, D'Artagnan and the 3 musketeers. Nice, simple and very effective landscape, strong composition and great color scheme. Thank you. Jancsi

much much better. as the great architect Mies van der Rohe said: 'less is more'. nice, tranquil photo. good subdued light. bit on the purple side. This is really not much of a historical church, there are far older and more interesting churches in Zurich. Your long story on Zurich is quite unnecessary, we know Zurich believe me. Next time, please photograph this beautiful city as it really is. Efkaristo. Jancsi

sure looks different from the way I remember it. Mind you it was long time ago, probably before you were born :) Thanks for your points, but I am not really entirely happy with your photo. Your colours are much manipulated for effect, not at all natural. Otherwise it's a well seen, sharp photo, but i think you can do much better than that. Best Jancsi

great experiments with abstract photography. this shot is striking, has a tremendous scale and dynamism. Of course the Meditteranean sunshine helps :) Bravo. Jancsi
