Cactus Fruits

I heard that once one approaches too much a certain type of cacti they throw spikes - just like poisonous arrows - and cover the intruder totally turning him into a sort of captured Gulliver. I imagine that they look very lovely, just like these ones. Delectable tonality.

A good film set.

The top left corner makes me think that the building is sleeping. And that the people inside are in their beds bolted to the side wall to face the sky. Superman gliding above.
If not, I wish that the blue on the right would be toned down a notch.
The greenish lemony reflection of the moon light is perfect.

Sewing the land to the sky! And in HDR. You surely did it.

A clean image of Americana. HDR makes perfect sense without screaming at us.

This is so charming that I wish that only his hands were in HDR! The HDR does not favor a bit this wonderful shot.

Very cute how the gulls seem to flicker while the trees and lights are steady.

Modern interpretation of Dutch still life paintings. Great tonality.
IMO, the letterbox borders are not suitable here. An entire dark charcoal border would be salutary though and would serve as a mat.

fall vines

Very attractive image. I figured out a while ago that the cloudy sky is not much favored by HDR. The water is wonderful, but the vines are a touch too saturated (more of the patchy shadow of the clouds would have been lovely) and the sky belongs stylistically to a different picture. It's certainly a place you want to revisit.
