One can feel the motion and listen to the sound

Hi Thomas, I never saw this place... thanks for the tip! Your view is well-chosen.

"Respected Comrade Grabarczyk, they're all number 22."

I disagree with Waylim - this is a better picture than a conventional view

I notice you have three different pictures of this door... it must have meant something to you. I like this colour one.

I was looking at this church the very same day... TE is becoming omnipresent!

beautiful delicate colours and surprising foreground subject

Hi spring girl! This is an astonishing photograph... as if a real-life illustration from a fairy-tale.

many greetings to you in your beautiful Maramures!

This is a journey I'd like to make, too... how long did you spend? The american landscape is sometimes unimaginable from over here.

So nice to get back inside after an excursion like this... for myself, I absolutely enjoy this situation! To unpack the good things, put on the kettle...

I don't think I've seen such steep entrance staircases - what's the purpose of that?

Beautiful! Reminds me of living in Holland...

As others have said, it's a great job of framing and capturing the moment.

Two suggestions, and the first one be not valid as I'm looking from an uncalibrated monitor.

Try lightening (dodging) the man's forehead area just a bit.

Then think about cloning away the blown out spot top of frame/left of center.

One of the things that works for me in this shot is how the focus starts with your main subject on the extreme left and then the eye is drawn to the woman standing further back.

Finally ones vision wanders back along the path into the darkness of the alley. But that light patch can cause one to leave the natural route of the image and spoil the overall effect.

Hi Ally, I've enjoyed looking through your pictures... Malaysia seems to be an unusually colourful place!

I was wondering about your name - shevchenko - is it after the Ukrainian poet? Or something else?

The environment has taken on the bleak mood of this woman.

That's funny - you complete the other side from this one:

It's changed since my day...

ha! nice theory - but I don't believe it!

greg (2835) [2009-03-02 8:33]
Very pretty, and clever reflection.

Makes a change from TE's orange monks!

More seriously - that's something new for me. I found this about it:
