Nice shapes. YOu might also want to try to simplify a similar image by concentrating on one or two smaller branches to bring some personality to the composition... Just a thought, of course.

Maybe an old one, but it's a keeper.
the fire escape and all those shadows make it fun to look at.
You handled it well.

Oh, same site as the last one? If it was, I'd hang around too and try for shots like this one. Exquisite.

Oh, very, very nice. Perhaps you should have stuck a flower or a couple of stones in front of it and used it in the still life with motion Challenge.
:-))

Excellent follow through on all aspects of this exciting image.

Day 24 - Centre'

I rather like the irregularity of the wayward petal. It adds a little excitement to the image. In my own work, I usually try to look for a pristine, beautiful flower, or one that is realllly past its peak. This one, somewhere in the middle of those two categories, well, just doesn't hold a lot of interest. Again, this is just my very personal opinion. You captured the flower well.

Well,you can't take a bad picture of the Eiffel Tower and this is certainly another good one. I've never taken a night shot there, but you did quite successfully. If it was mine (and oh, how I wish it was) I'd probably crop out (or clone away) the lights and shadows at the base to keep attention focused solely on the massive Tower.

GOOD seeing and super composition to make that light pole and traffic light part of the image instead of a possible 'problem'. I also like your soft focus treatment of the whole thing. Truly, nice.

Sometimes the utilitarian goes unseen. This is a joy to look at and the contrast between the rough wood, sand and smooth metal is a dividend.

VERY good use of flash to bring out details without splashing light all over the place.
