I absolutely love the 3d effect, Tony.
There is also something poetical in the circles in the water .. I imagined a very gentle rain causing this splash evidence if you will.
Lovely. :)
thanks, it was a nice gentle rain, i was under the cabana drinking wine. Moment later my neighbor kid knocked over the wine glass with his water gun. Ha! That's the poetry of things!Quote:

Lovely colour contrast. How did you manage to make it look like a painting?Quote:

I am looking to simplify my images as much as possible by isolating the subjects against uncluttered clear backdrops while at the same time retaining a sense of the environment in which I found them.Quote:

What a gorgeous photo, Tony. I want to walk the beaches there for sure some day... ;)
Interesting how you combined girl and stones!
Been away for sometime, catching up on on the wonderful images.
I was in west Texas this past October on business, found some free time to visit Monohans Sand Hills.
A few pics taken with the I phone:

Hmmm, well, I'm trying to edit the above post, reduce and add a couple more, but no luck so far.
Let's see how this works...
Regarding the face image above; a few of the old timers may recall the face on Mars image that NASA captured with Viking I in 1976,

well turns out I discovered a similar one on earth as I was trudging through the sand. (for scale the "face" is roughly 4 cm long)
"Waves in the Sand"

amish on train to san diego. It's a candid street photography and I wasn't able to get the perfect settings, combined with the mother was aware of me and trying to move away. Nonetheless, it came out ok. It was too rushed to get perfect settings and compose, then again that lends alot of authentic beauty to street photography
Love these photos! That last one could be a post card for sure!Quote:

This picture has a nice look to it. The off-centre pile of books in a dark part of the room is appealing.

Back to slightly unsettling images
I really like your 'slightly unsettling images'! You really do catch a moment perfectly, Tony.
As for SAM THE CORGI!! Oh my, I want to take him home! He is so adorable. He also looks freshly bathed and brushed, sporting a very smart lookin' doggy! Love it. :)
Almost a ghostly effect -- love it, Tony!

This is me. Scary, aren't I?
Lovely, Tony.
I love that there is that hint of color, in the girl's red dress.
LoL ;)Quote:

Gorgeous colors...
Wondered why the photo-retouch on the cigarettes ... we all know what they is, lol! ;)
oh, marlbros sold in the UK and here (British) can only show the name once on the front. not the back. It's one of the many many death nails to cigarette sales. (warning messages, taxs to the roof, cannot advertise, cannot display the name but once in very small letters)
BY the way, i dont smoke! but i love rectangular primary colours packaged (and who doesnt!)
