Its just not the same, is it...but very hard to resist. The upside is one takes more pics.
Chris, Andy is still hiding deep in his shell. Hopefully he'll come out to play soon....

Hello Matej - I've been wondering where you might have gone, not that I'm anyone to talk!:)
Nice to hear from you.

You see in an interesting way James, when time is slightly easier I shall be back to take a longer tour. This site is so big, and if one is not on much, one tends to miss some interesting posts.

Take my comment with a pinch of salt James, nobody 'frowns'as such. Nice people run this site, really they are :)
However, project themes are primarily thought up to help promote members to think about new ideas along the theme subjects, so as one will go out try new ideas and shoot fresh images.
Not to do as I did here - dig through pass work to fit the current theme.

Cold wet winter's day + a loner on shiny rail tracks.......this can only be the work of one person = master Rui.
Rui my friend, this is nice, very nice. I hope you are well.

Oh no, not me again!
This time I'm bothered by the top little corner of white sky (you needn't take much notice as I'm just typing out loud here!)
Otherwise think this is a really pretty/cool/tranquil place to be. The 'spots' of yellow gold give good spark. Love it.

Nice close up of the silhouetted cherries, the light on the tops of the cherries is especially pleasing. I'm sure in its original bright shades of red they must make a mouth watering image :)
I, too wish the full reflections of the cherries to be seen. I guess this isn't a matter of crop but you probably were too close? The first cherry is pin sharp leaving the other two (stems) slightly out of focus. Probably a little step back would have helped.

Vancouver and around are god-sent for landscape photographers, you are so lucky to be part of it all.
I'll bet you would not have guessed the attached image to be Van Dusen Gardens a month or so ago?!
Would love to join you on a shoot sometime early summer?

Hello Becky,
Compositionally this is text book perfect, hard for anyone to find fault. This is a scene one has come to expect of beautiful BC (and Alberta - I was once ticked off for not mentioning Alberta!).
Since this is 'suppose to be' a critique site.....while the mid/upper half of the picture is perfectly exposed, I find the near half slightly too dark.
One of these days, I'll need to find out from you where all these pretty places are in and around Vancouver :)

Something has gone a miss here Maggie, the background is clearly meant to be blurred and so its nicely muted & distanced, but the flower has suffered softness too.
Could it be you've changed your upload size/method/sharpening ?
Having used a USM lens, I'm sure the focus on the flower is pin sharp, in fact the top edges of the petals are just that.
Maybe worth taking it down to do a reload?
I was over your way Christmas & NY. Good build up of snow this winter......27ft and counting in Whistler.......yippee :)

The muted almost there colours give the feel of an impressionist painting. The contrasting water surface gives distance and depth. The perfect timing of catching the bird in frame also gives much needed third party interest.
A beautiful picture that expresses tranquillity and serenity - well done Roby.

A real and true B&W? Wow, lucky you.
Christian, as you know I just love cropping everything to a square - but here I turely believe there's a little too much space to the right of the trees, a tighter crop could work?
Also wonder maybe additional dash of contrast to the foreground will give more depth to this all white world.

Merry Christmas Christian.
This scene reminds me of my bike ride this morning in and around Stanley Park, grey rainy skies, dark earth and tress but lit up by the silvery waters.
Yes, global warning indeed - but anyone taking notice I wonder?
Wish you the best of New Year :)

Hello Maggie M
I'm not here much either (whisper...don't tell Al!).
Thank you for the lovely long comment.
Glad you like this Maggie, however, I'm afraid you totally lost me on your 'studys of dark and light' though I take it you approve
I've been busy doing projects I told you about awhile back, a lot of fun but difficult.
Shall pop over to visit with you soon.

Thank you Gary for your comment.
Flower shooting is one of my joys but few make 'keeps' as I prefer unusual angles and have a habit of every nowandagain spring cleaning my portfolio!
This image was taken some time ago in a massive tight lavender farm - care had to be taken as to not cause damage. Yes, the stalk in front of the flower is an oversight  Clone tool could be called upon but decided against it.

Here's joining a long line of people to say what a lovely image you have captured. The shades of shocking pink pops againsts the well chosen black background, the touch of yellow tip and the dark green focus the eyes on this unusual flower - beautiful.
I wonder if the strong pink frame line takes the eye away from this otherwise strong but simple composition - if a frame line is needed perhaps a dark green may work well?

Its that time of the year again when the sun beats hot, fields turn gold and the light becomes impossible for photographers!!
A lovely image to show the season Roberto - the mix of sharp and blur give movement, the full frame of wheat gives the viewer a sense of vast country side.

I saw the image before your name appeared and knew instantly this to be your work.
My eyes will never be the same after seeing all these squares going this way and that!! Oh boy -you must have gone to "new lows" to get this angle Rui
You and this new camera are discovering ever new and wonderful ways of seeing.....well deserved award my friend.

Hello Narabia,
I would like to join others above to say this is indeed a beautiful flower shot. Flowers being such a popular subject, searching for angles that are unusual need careful creative eyes.
This composition coupled with the eye catching colours is lovely. The high contrast of the silvery white against the dark green background give the pop.

Hello Rui my friend - how are you??
This is a departure from your other street shots, however on closer look there is no mistaking your style of good eye and fast finger. The softly filtered light and persons caught and frozen in motion are all your hallmarks. A wonderful image.

Hi there,
I like this one The placement of the trucks give the interesting angle, tones are milky smooth too. I had to think about the overhang....its a good addition to the composition.
The print must be pretty rich eh?
