Too bad on the DQ. Can I recommend a cloud backup to help in the future. I use Carbonite, but imagine they all have similar functionality. I can access my backup via a web page, which has saved me a few tines when I needed to get files while on vacation.

Dang it! I hate DQs, but know that they have to happen sometimes.

Still a fantastic entry for the challenge topic.

I hope your vacation is worth the DQ. :D

Really cool effect - adds more feeling of "too much" to your photograph than just a lot of people in a beautiful village.
And yes, Overtourism is a problem.

Simply magical. Thematically on-point and poetically realized. This was my top score. Thought for sure it would be one of the top three.

A long exposure motion blur, perhaps? Works for me.
