Abmdsudi, how fortunate that you were in this spot at this moment, and that you had the imagination to capture this particular image. I just love the two boats, with the "masts", against the sky. Even beyond the rainbow, the colors are really beautiful. I'm sure you've seen this, but if not, the story of how Ansel Adams came to take the image "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico" is the best story I've heard about recognizing that you were in the right place at the right time. You can find it on the web. Thanks, Roger

Angel, the geometry of the shot is what struck me at first - both the slopes on the left and right converging to the church tower at the bottom. Bold, well-saturated colors. The town itself looks like a lovely place (or at least a place that has lovely views!) Thanks, Roger

Craig, nice shot giving us a good feel for what Valletta looks like. There seem to have been a lot of people on the other side of the bay. Well-composed, with the dome on the left, in its contrasting colors, balancing the boat on the right. Thanks. Roger

Lisa, this is a beautiful photo, with consistent orange tones throughout. I've seen many photos of Uluru before, of course, but I love the way you've balanced the main object of the photo with the tree in the foreground. Wonderful clouds against a deep red clay earth. How much processing did you have to do on this image? Thanks, Roger

John, you chose a wonderful location for this shot (and apparently had one of those rare glorious weather days in Scotland). The placement of the car in the frame, with the road going off into the distance between the hills, is quite striking. The workshop photo does indeed have more "pop". I'm curious, though - when you say the levels were "all over the place", what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that you didn't use the full range of light in the original post, or something more complicated? Thanks. Roger

Abmdsudi, very interesting note. How did you come to know the history of this place? The scene itself is nicely done, with a slightly downward camera angle, and the man in the middle field. Not a very good chapter in my nation's history. Thanks. Roger

Jason, nice to see a post from you here. I just recently came back here to post a few shots myself; it remains to be seen if I am willing to put in the effort it takes here to think and comment properly on the great images that people post here. Interesting shot here; I love the four equally-spaced people waiting for the train (which clearly is not the express currently going through the station). Thanks, Roger

Eleu, great title. I figured most people on this site were too young to remember those cartoons. In any case, nice capture of this interesting-looking bird, and the red-brown rocky background is pretty interesting as well. Great detail on the bird itself. Thanks. Roger

Adrian, we were just in this region (we stayed in Beynac) in September, but did not see this chateau. Seeing your photo, I'm sorry we missed it. The gardens look beautiful, and you've done a great job capturing the stonework and roofs of this lovely building. Great sharpness and architectural detail. Thanks. Roger
