Hi Lars

This looks very familiar! The street market adds life to this scene. Good colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Here's a shot I took a few years earlier in the same street:

Hi Ian

Not quite as spectacular as the mountain range of the same name in Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand, but has its own charm nevertheless. Excellent choice of a wide angled panoramic format with good colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Malgo

A nice aerial view of London approximately from the top of the Tower Bridge looking west. The Shard at left is instantly recognisable. The musician with a harp at right adds depth and layering and a 3d effect. Tfs!

Hi Malgo

Luckily these people were in London and not Venice or the 'seating' police would have ask all of them to move to an al fresco restaurant or face a fine. The circular fountain nicely leads the eye all around the museum courtyard. Tfs!

Hej Gert

The blue and yellow colours of Sweden repeated twice in one frame is in fact special. The trifecta is completed with the Ikea logo, another patriotic icon. The Japanese text on the door at right is intriguing. Wonder what's in there? Tfs!

Salut Pierre

A diificult shot with strong light contrasts but a reasonable result. Good sharpness, colour and lighting. I wonder what they do with all the animals and birds when a hurricane is approaching? Perhaps they have sturdy shelters? Tfs!

Hej Gert

A well observed and timed capture of the wheelchair bound woman observing the road rules. Good sharpness and the road adds a built in grey scale! Tfs!

Hello Ali,

An exquisite looking building with amazing repetition of patterns and shapes. The people add scale and animate the scene. Morocco had the same scalloped ceilings. Tfs!

Hello Costantino,

The man with the mini parasol shaped hat in various striped colours would be worth a photo in his own right! Good sharpness and lighting. Tfs!

Hello Costantino,

The colourful red pink and yellow bg museum makes a great backdrop to the costumed dancers in the fg plaza. Good sharpness and flash usage. Tfs!

Hi Vince

A remarkable copy of the Hells Gate rail bridge in New York, built a few years before this one. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Pavle

Nice to see a globe that is NOT focused on North America for a change. Here instead we see Africa, Australia, Anatolia and South Asia. I am glad they are suitcases and not coffins or tombs! Tfs!

Hola Luis,

Missed this one. Good colour and sharpness with punchy light contrasts. The flowers and red leaves add a welcome splash of colour. Tfs!

Hej Gert

A good daily life scene from India of the scaffolding sans safety equipment for the 2 men working on renovations and repairs or maybe just a repaint? Tfs!

Ciao Silvio.

I am leaning more towards Hannibal and Carthage too, as the Punic Wars had a more direct impact on Italy whereas conflicts in Turkey were minor skirmishes rather than all out open warfare. Hannibal may have won a battle , but ultimately lost the war due to Roman superiority. Tfs!

Czesc Mariusz!

You had fantastic weather with not a single cloud in the sky! Good sharpness and a superb elevated view from the hilltop Necropolis. The bg cathedral adds a strong focal point. Tfs!

Hi Ali

This man has very expressive and enigmatic eyes that hint at a complex personality who has experienced many ups and downs in his lifetime. Excellent head and shoulders portrait with good sharpness tonal range and framing. Tfs!

An interesting elevated carpark or taxirank at the old central bus station. Good sharpness and the modern highrise banks add a contemporary flavour. Tfs!
