Nicely shot, Burak. The way the dark interior frames the opening for the train makes the train extra special. Well done!

Lovely photo in its simplicity, Peter. The smooth water and colors really set off those tree roots. An effective addition is the reflection of trees at the top that helps to frame your work in a nice way.

Another fine photo, Nevyan. The tree is perfectly placed to invite the eye to look at the whole scene. I also like the square format! You might experiment with the colors under and around the clouds. You probably captured them accurately, but they look just a tiny bit muddy to me. Super work!

Beautiful symmetry and darker tones, Chatelier. The point of view is also outstanding. Nice post processing on the sky, too!

The colors and light add to make this a very engaging photo, Carlo. I love the substantial feeling of the city on the mountain.

What a lovely place to go fishing. I like the composition with the two men in the lower corner. Well done!

The composition adds to this photo very much, Francesco. I enjoy the leading lines of the road and the dramatic clouds above.

This is a very pleasant photo, Recep. The man struggling with the dogs has a fun expression that you captured well.

This has a lovely point of view, Justinas! You might experiment with the sky and trees in the background, as they look an odd color to me, but the photo is really striking with that amazing long exposure!

Yes, the pixelization from enlargement created some weird artifacts. Nevertheless, I like this old tree and the angle you had chosen from which to photograph it. I suspect this is why photographers all have bad backs, eh Peter? You might try experimenting with idealizing the sky. It is not a lovely blue on my computer, and a little tweaking with color might help. Or try it in black and white? Anyway, it's a fine photo, and enjoyed gazing at it.

It's hard to resist a good sunset, Jose! This is not only lovely colors, but the composition is also very effective, with the brightest light in a very effective spot.

This is a fun angle with great composition, Jean. The colors and lines all create a very engaging photo!

I think the plane wing adds some interest to this shot, Neyvan. While it's a lovely landscape and well composed, the wing really helps tell the story here.

Hey I like this a lot, Clark. The angle of the shadow works well as an introduction into the shot, and the poles keep the eye going quite nicely. We're then satisfied by the mountains in the back. Lovely!

To experiment with: You might try adding some contrast to get more darks and lights to see what happens. Also, if you do an unsharp mask at a high pixel rate but low percentage, you might be able to bring in more "clarity" if you wanted any more.

I like it!

Calédonien ou métro?
Jolie rencontre : c'est toujours très beau une manta sous l'eau. Tu étais en sortie avec le centre d'Annabella du côté du Kuendu beach peut être? j'aime bien leur philosophie de la plongée à eux, rien que de la détente.

C'est très beau.
Personnellement, j'aurais mieux vu cette photo convertie en NB, histoire de renforcer le côté à la fois onirique et mélancolique... mais j'ai aussi en tête certaines photos de Plossu qui fait peut-être que ça me biaise vers le Noir et blanc.

J'aime bien celle-là, tu fais de gestes quotidiens une scène dramatique. Il y a un côté épique à la Sergio Leone, à la fois les mines de cowboys résignés et les éclairages contrastés qui ne montrent pas les yeux du "Clint" khmer feraient penser à "une poignée de dollars".

Je reviens sur l'éclairage mais c'est très bon, tu as bien maitrisé les ombres et les hautes lumières, très lisibles.

Une photo du wild wild west cambodgien vraiment chouette.

Le bleu roi de la nuit et le jaune orangé du sable font un mélange top. j'aime beaucoup celle-là aussi.

ça bouge, ça pétille, c'est chouette... j'aime bien le style "surf photo", pris du bout de la tong, sans l'air d'y être, pour de la photo de rue de nuit. La lumière bleue fait beaucoup pour l'attractivité de l'image.

Au départ j'ai cru ouvrir une boite de chocolats.
et puis à l'ouverture (bien que selon l'axiome de Gump, on ne sache jamais sur quoi on va tomber) j'ai été un peu déçu : process avec un trop gros pinceau, trop contrasté, accentuation à mort.

Joli cadrage, mais à refaire...
