CONGRATULATIONS on this well deserved award Ali. An excellent still life study thoughtfully composed with each item an antiquity posed alongside a fresh pomegranate which in itself is well established 'ancient' fruit. The theme is great, the detailing perfect and the tones superbly accurate. Very best wishes.

You have well chosen all and the result is a masterpiece.
I like warm tones.
At firt glance I thought perhaps red apple was better but then your choice of yellow apple break the overall.
SC well deserved.

I really love the new techniques you are using to so beautifully display your flowers.
In this one, the bloom glows while it is so well complimented by the rich, velvety background.
Two more well deserved Awards.

Deliscious... as usual. Your vision may be considered "dark", as I have detected by comments on many of your photo's, but I consider it "rich". You have a wonderful talent for bringing "the way that you see things" to fruition. I appreciate your previous explanation to me about your post-processing. I agree that you are using tools (like any other artist) to create your vision. Your work is amazing.

I do love this and agree its an amazing image but i must agree with Saad..it is blown on the high end..however if this is the desired effect than it's all a matter of opinion. Sometimes the greatest masterpieces are in the "mistakes" my friend!

I love the style...I would like ot maybe see a tad more of her face but i understand sometimes less is more mysterious. It just seeems in this setting we should see her facial expression more as shes looking out the window.
Just that one darn curl :>
Beautiful still and makes me wonder what shes might be contemplating :>

Hi Margaret! or may I call you Maggs? Your work reminds me of someone I know! This is a beautiful image, great colour and subject matter. I particularly like your treatment of the image with your emphasis on this lovely painterly quality that you have achieved, almost like one of the great 'masters' of seascapes. I would love to have had a hand in something like this! Keep up the great work. 7+++++ Regards......JIM

woowww, hello..
is really a very good composition, with the cliff down to the sea ..
well-saturated colors and clear and very balanced composition on the third make a good picture.
personally I imagine even with a longer exposure time, so the sea would be more smooth and homogeneous.
the result of a more relaxing picture.. (IMHO)
all the ebst and see you later

See, THAT is a great photo. for a second it makes the viewer think that the man is tugging the boat.. but then, when he looks more carefully, he says.. naaaah...
For me, a successful photograph is often one which has this element of surprise in it. THAT factor makes it linger in my mind. That, plus the fact that the title does not attempt to draw any unnecessary attention.
Superb work !!

As CC, I'd say good expression, and she overwhelms any background - because her posture and expression are interesting. She's demanding attention. Still there's a lot there and maybe a crop would isolate things better. It's a classic 'A-frame' composition.

Another beautiful portrait study of the lovely little Ebru my dear Aylin. I love the boldness of the crop/composition and the use of her tiny shoulder and arm with wisps of hair to frame her pretty little face. Gorgeous skin tones, excellent details and the gaze from her eyes would melt the strongest heart. Well done to you sweetie, another great shot. A great big HUUUUUUUUUG for you, a little squeeze for Ebru (for being a wonderful model) and as always my very best wishes to you all.......Uncle Ray

Hey Avi
Well Henri never seemed to shoot much in the way of modern architecture, as far as I know, and not so much indoors, and at his peak he wouldn't have had much in the way of fast film, and tripod or flash weren't his scene either. But if he had the gear available to him from the beginning, I reckon he might have gone for this type of shot. Also, the concept of street has been taken into a wider dimension, including walkways, stairwells etc. I think that's what I mean.
Regards, Gary

This is such a beautiful creative intimate portrait study Kes. The finished composure/crop is bold and tight exposing just enough of the bride and her emotions. The mono tones are master class and the delicate soft focus is superb. Very well done to you my friend.
I know you probably have your reasons but I do wish we could get to see more of you here on dear old UF. Great to see your name when it appears. Hope you and your family are all well. My very best wishes to you as always.........Ray

This is one of those fascinating, almost surreal, images which causes one's eye to explore, and to be confused as to the artist's intention. The focus is ambiguous. Yet, it's so beautifully-executed, one's eye flits between the apple and the crenelated tower in search of context and meaning.
One small idea: the tree trunk at right might be lost, since the eye wanders to it uselessly.
Bravo Rashed.

For today my number one! I love the way how the whole image is composed, I like the real feeling and how documentary image it is. There is a sort of motion captured as well, and the train coming to the station bring s a bit of danger, mostly when I imagine how fast these trains usually drive. The red light on the left is a warning - this can be undesrtand in an easy way - just don´t step to the railways and do not drive, the train is coming...or maybe it brings also some other sort of message - which gives to the image many different sences. The whole image can seem seimple but so creative as well.
best wishes

Very nice photoart... beautiful lines and colors. Well seen & executed. The dry-brush effect works nicely, however I would still like to see the original which I'm sure is equally as nice. 7/7

Excellent color and capture....at first glance I could not see the hummingbird but then saw the beautiful little bird collection honey from the flower. Wish the right side of the flower was not cut, it would have enhanced the image even more. Beautiful.

Interesting pp in this one, certainly make the image look surreal. The tones are beautiful, too and the softness really adds to drama depicted in the whole image. I like the tree in the center giving strong point in the image.

Athens, Greece....read so many stories on history about them and dreamed as well when I was a child. This picture is very calm yet so much going in it. Does this reflect your mind? I like this poetic picture and you did well to keep in it bw. All emotions.

As if it isn't challenging enough to capture a bird perched so it looks perfectly posed in an image, plus to get it pin-point sharp - you even get them in the act of feeding in the wild! I am absolutely stunned by your consistantly better than perfect images! I sure hope that Audubon Society and others are looking at your work. Very, very nice! 7/7

Great work here Tim, and congrats on the well deserved award for this shot. I hope your camera didn't get too wet. I love the lighting and also the lack of it in this shot and how the two together create a stunning and moody feeling and atmosphere to this shot. The colours and exposure here are stunning, well done

nice tonal values. One looks at it and almost wonders if you could get rid of the tree line all together and just have structure, that it probably would be a more powerful image. The treeline, even though faint, distracts me and doesn't add anything---ron s.

Lovely shot .. nice perspective.. allow me to share my thoughts.. personally I feel , inclusion of a single human figure in motion would make the whole composition look more lively..Once again .. this is never a judgment..its only my personal thought.
