Nice shadows and reflections in the water. The closeup on the veins in the leaf is also unusual.
Sometimes the simplest motif can be captivating, like the oar in the water.
Thanks. I'll try and take 'unusual' as a compliment ;)Quote:

In some of the photos on the website link three rainbow-like images appear. I can't imagine how these are produced, they have me flummoxed. The middle one is obviously the sun, but the other two?
First time I remember seeing halos like that. I think there were 22° halo, Sun dogs aka parhelia, and a light pillar there. Sunlight interacting with the ice crystals in the atmosphere is what produced them.Quote:

Both of the winter scenes are very nice, North Star. I like the white-black contrast on the light blue and purple backgrounds.
Thanks, YesNo

I have a feeling that we could all do with a cup of hot chocolate at the moment... and please click the links if you bother to look at the images at all

I'm drinking tea now. I didn't realize hot chocolate was so bubbly.
I liked this one as well in your recent set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/janace...ream/lightbox/
Definitely looks odd!
It's not that bubbly really, but it sure looks more exciting. I wish I remembered how I managed to make it so bubbly...Quote:

Referring to the flower image, I assume. I'll take that as a compliment. ;)Quote:
