With a bit of delay, here I am too Rafa, to thank you for all your beautiful images, that provoke so many beautiful thoughts and emotions!!! Your picture here is so symbolic - a wonderful promise for the upcoming future... Love the deep blue sky with some clouds, just as it happens in life. Love the different lines of the road, exactly as we have different life paths, but still go to the same direction - to work on ourselves and become better humans...! I will not question your decision though it makes me sad of course. Every one of us has the freedom to decide for him/herself and it is not good if others say wether that decision was good or bad - we all have different criteria for good and bad so it is very slippery ground... I am withdrawing from TE gradually myself too, because of a few reasons that are not that important. The most important thing is that you are a wonderful and sensitive person and you transfer all this into your photography style. So, please Rafa, no matter what you will do or where, keep going up and don't give up! And thank you for being on the bright side of the people, my friend! Take care and I will be happy if you still keep in touch!

Hi Deyan! Lovely colourful pattern, presenting in wonderful way this very special Bulgarian holiday! As I see Granny March surprised with snow not only Varna today... :-)) Love the contrast between the appealing red of the "martenitsi" (the name we give these colourful items) at left and the background of snow - both fit very well. Thank you for presenting this typically Bulgarian holiday on TE! Wish you a lot of health and joy for the coming spring! :-)

Lovely graphical composition of simple shapes and clean colours, Xuemei! :-) Light is also beautiful and definitely adds a lot to the effect. Very well done!

Very emotional shot, Cristina! :-) I love your note as it makes a complete story out of the scene with the waiting man, taken from behind. Amazing capture in contrasting colours and graphical details in BG. The tight framing makes it even more effective. Very good job indeed!

Amazing composition that develops vertically, Chris! :-) The bright spot with the lady in pink is wonderful - I like the way she is sitting with her back to the street, as if doesn't care for it's noise and vanity. Very good street shot!

Love the tight framing here, Manny! :-) It really is striking and accentuates in a wonderful way on what monks carry and on their hands. The repetition of details increases the fantastic effect and creates a very special atmosphere. Excellent!

Seems you have a lot of interesting shots in your archives, Richard! :-) Lovely composition of the water way in winter time. Like the different levels of water and vivid colours - bring dynamics and life, together with the fine light. Very good one!

Lovely winter scenery, with fine diagonal of the hill, contrasting colours and fine sharpness. The cows deep in the game are fantastic!I like it very much, Alessandra! :-)

She is quite a character, Jack! :-D I like very much the tight framing as it accentuates on the vivid expressions you captured here. The smoke is adding scent and warmth, needed to perceive in a complete way the chestnut vendor place. :-) Wonderful street shot!

Hi Fred! :-) Love this bright and cheerful summer scene as here we have a very dark and rainy weather...:-) I couldn't resist to take a closer view of the charming boats and the fine horizontal layers of sky, hills, greenery and water. Wonderful composition with lovely depth and bright colours. Very well done!
