I like the pp on the flower heads - very nice. Not sure if I wouldn't have toned down the very light leaves a bit. they seem to be distarcting from the roses.

6. city smarts

Comment:
This is weird - was that a "lucky shot", or did you actually "see" this? Amazing! I first thought the main dark object was an old paper press or printing machine of some sort.

Balcony Birds

Comment:
Have you got ANY idea what these birds cost here? :-)

... thi is a fun picture. Almost "abstarcty" with the blocked colours and then the line of birds. Nicely seen.
Although its a bit "predictable", I would crop the iomage to get the birds on a 1/3 from the top.

Week 8 - Textures

Looks like those pre-historic fossil "bugs" to me. If I recall they lived in water? You realise that your pig is becoming a piece of art in its own right :-).

How do I get there? (7/52)

Comment:
... the pole ... mentioned below already.
I love the way the coat seems to "reflect" (?) the blue/black of the gangway. Have you tried a B&W conversion to perhaps get rid of the yellow/beige wall in the BG and see what a B&W would look like? Maybe even go B&W and then colour it with the blue that you see in the gangway now - I very much like that colour. Just an idea because you were asking for ideas. Don't knowe if it would improve your current image.

My precious pooch
by MacDonald

Comment:
She is CUTE. Actually has this half smile on her face and her eyes seem to match the grin ... very cute. Nice bokeh type BG in green on top, pitty the white "thing" comes in from top left corner.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

I have to smile .. I must have 50 images of "subway tunnel" on my computer waiting to be edited from my trip to Paris ... :-). Thanks for the reminder :-).
I agree with jmritz, very SciFi, and yes, it looks like going "down" into the earth, not "down" to the surface :-)

Well, I am with the "bottle brigade" :-). In fact I saw an image during the week and the guy told me it wasn't a landscape, it was in fact a bottle. When I saw this image, the first thing that came to mind was "now I know how he did his image" ... NOT :-) ... Ball or bottle, I like it. Doen't know what colours were involved, but can imagine it may also look stunning is a very saturated colour version (since it is a ball and not a bottle :-))

07 - One Drop

Comment:
as always Ursula, really beautiful. I love your work. Although I haven't seen it in B&W, but I can relate to what you wrote that you like it this way. I too love the soft "gold" tone in it and imagine I would miss it in a B&W conversion. Pretty all round, what more can I say?

My favorite of the first series. But then in all honesty, who can resist Kim? :-)
