    That's an interesting technique of blanking out the background in the market women. I am going to try doing it in Gimp to give me an excuse to use the software.

    I read that twice, YesNo. Gimp? I mean, I love it and all, being an opponent of political correctness and a supporter of free speech, but even I am somewhat taken aback--is there really a software program called Gimp?

    These software names are mysteries to me. There are also software titles like "R" and "Python". I've recently downloaded "Scribus" for desktop publishing since I am hoping to put together an ebook. My problem is I have to get off my butt and learn these. At the moment I'm trying to get motivated to just make a trial book cover.

    Yea, It isolates the subjects. I like minimalism, sometimes, quite a bit actually.

    I think this may be called minimalism. I have a curiosity NS, how does your landscape appear in summer? Is it as lonely and misterious as in winter?

    There is a minimalist streak to the image, definitely.
    Ah, I see you haven't necessarily seen my earlier landscape / nature photographs, Danik, since you only joined in January. I suppose nothing can match the quiet of a snow-covered landscape, but it can be pretty solitary in the summertime as well.

    Love the (pine?) forest with the sprinkling of orange trees. That's how it looks here as well.
    So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether

    Thank you. Yes, they're pines - with the odd spruce among them. The orange trees are birch.

    Haha PB, I can't say I thought of that - not consciously anyway - when I took the photo, but you're not being weird or inappropriate at all; there are numerous things about the picture that support the description.

    That picture with the windmill is intriguing, North Star. It looks too small for a real windmill. I liked the focus on the drops of the glass.

    The sun is really nice in this. I am intrigued by the reflection in the last one.
