Parking lot

Well, I noticed the tracks right off, too, but I didn't try to make sense of them - thanks for saving me the trouble, Ann. What I moved to almost immediately was the enclosed/framed look to this composition which I like a lot. It's very geometric. The other thought I had was that this looks like a set-up a child would love playing with, vrooming those little vehicles in and out of that space.

Funny how much time I spent counting the number of domino pieces...

Yep, me too. Was trying to make sense of the tracks since they are really a very main part of the picture. Love your processing and all the detail that can be absorbed in the image.

First attempt at a panorama

Comment by Kroburg:
The sky makes this panorama, really nice. And I like the way the triangle shaped fen lead my eyes from the closed part in the middle to the two corners. Only small thing: I have the idea the horizon is not completely leveled, it seems left is just a bit lower than the right part of the image (but of course I can be wrong)

I'm with Ann, I was figuring out the same. I like the image, good choice re B&W and nice composed with the parking area framed by the buildings on three sides.

Pretty in purple

Comment by Kroburg:
Great colours again, I like the various purple colours in this one. And looking at the background I think purple was the main colour in this part of the parade. And it's clear people enjoyed the parade very much (and the sunny weather as well).

Comment by Kroburg:
Lovely image of this girl, great use of DOF, she really stands out from the background. I think the B&W also helps to do so, but it seems you used some kind of toning, quite nice.

The girl next door

Comment by Kroburg:
Good shot, the strong pink colours, the contrast with the black coat and the obvious pleasure of your neighbour helps to focus on mother and child and forget about the somewhat distracting background and blown-out sky.

Nice one, I like the orange colours on this (slightly desaturated?) image. Typical Dutch. And apparantly bad weather during the carnaval festivities.

Belgian Beer Glass

Comment by Kroburg:
I think this must have been a difficult one to photograph. On the glass itself there is that striped smudge on the top half (reflection?) and the black background shows some kind of blur as well (probably easy to deal with using levels). But overall I think it is a good exercise in the use of light on glass objects.
