Wow -- catching up on comments today and this one really pops out! No pun intended. (OK, maybe just a little bit). Too bad this missed the peek a book challenge ... would have done really well. Nice shot!

Love the colors on the gas flame; well captured, and a nicely different macro subject to see.

I really like the funky bokeh on this one. From the thumb it looked like a fence in winter. nice pic.

On the half shell

Nice comp and close up work. I love mussels, but there's some food you don't really want to look at TOO closely before you eat it! Yellow on the flesh seems just a tad unnatural on this one; maybe dial back the saturation just a bit?

Very nice textures and colors. I like how you processed this to bring both of those out without making it look fake.

Day 29 - Flag
by hajeka

Comment:
Nice close up work, and I like how the light filtering through the flag at the bottom accentuates the texture. As an overall image though, I liked the thumb better than the full size ... composition looked cool on a thumb, but the top half of the flag is less interesting, and those grains detract.

Very orderly and symmetric. The road is so new and so bright against the surrounding landscape, and the colors and forms so meticulous, that it makes for an interesting image.

A nice setting for a nice snapshot. Sometimes its fun to sneak around to the other side, and take a picture of the tourists all taking pictures as well! Thanks for joining the walkabout again, and taking the time to share your vision of another little corner of the world with us.

Very nice city view. I like the peek of the street down below; its like a little hidden bonus in the image.

Spring soon!

Great find. Those bright cherry warm colors look so out of place against the drab and dreary weather, as accentuated by the harried shopper carrying her umbrella and bundled up against the cold. The brightly colored clothes of the person behind the flower stand blend right in, and make her or him appear to be part of the cart.
