Framm might be too filled but I like the illusion that this is one giraffe when, I hope, it is two. Very fine detail and DOF.

Just cannot stop looking at this one. It is so well done. The great character of the face, the wisdom and history that is so evident and the absolute joy that emminents in the sparkle of the eyes. Superb.

Ahhhh the cheese grater strikes again...Nice cnoice of the bright green in the background. Like the red and some blue reflections on next to the wholes. Fine abstract. Good luck!

This is a very striking image and has caught my eye each time through. The colors of the balloon are great and they stand out nicely against the blue sky and faint cloud patterns. I wish a bit more of the balloon were in the frame...not much more but what ever you could have gotten cause its pattern interests me more. But as it the prolly was not stationary, I'm sure your did what you could. Great composition! Good Luck!

Windows Pattern
by Luca66

Comment:
I like this very much....The great wavy lines of the structure running thought the patterns...a very neat piece of architecture for sure. As is usually the case with windows and reflections, you got some inconsitency here. I know happens to me all the time. Great reflections on most and none on a few to the point where you can see in. I hate when that happens. My only suggestion for this is a possible crop of the upper row of windows since they are in a straight line and sort of distract from the bottom three quasi rows where the patterning is most interesting. But so far this is my favorite.
