I have improved tremendous in composition and PP skills since I joined CIC in March 2014. I would like to thanks everyone here and especially Mr. Mike Buckley for his advice and encouragement.

All the pictures were photographed using a compact camera.

Wow, Leslie! You have improved so much on your own that mentioning me makes me blush (which is really difficult to do).

This is such a diverse group of photos. How about letting us know where each of them was taken!

Though I'm always glad to see photos of the pyramids for reasons that you probably remember, my favorite is #6, especially if you crop it using a square aspect ratio.

Dan,

Thanks for viewing and your comment.

I am so surprised to learn that #6 was captured in the Old Town of Prague in the sense that I have my own photo of that church (St. Nicholas Church) in such different light that I didn't recognize it the first time I viewed your photo. I even remember that the lunch that I ate immediately before taking my photo is the last time that I tried drinking beer. That's because my friends who appreciate beer advised me that if I didn't like the beer being served, I would never like any beer and should give up trying. That was in March 1985 when Prague was behind the Iron Curtain. It's absolutely amazing how a photo can bring back memories.

Hahaha! I should have uploaded the "Astronomical Clock of Prague".

BTW, I was there in Nov 2006, a very warm winter & I love this place very much.
