WOW
it's the first time you wrote appreciations to a picture of mine, without critics Antonio
or you have just eat a lot of chocolate
or I have done a good work
I hope you hate chocolate



mmm...
or you haven't had enough time...

I love chocolate I have time You did a good work
But... you can do better Nicola

You could try for example, to have the legs not cut by the mountains if I make myself understand. This for example could be a big improvement. Well, you wanted a critic here you have it !

The flower is OK. Nice natural bokeh. No need of special software for the job. Well done.

Any bolder shots in the mountains ? Crazy angles, mad scenes, nothing out of common ? Nothing ? Come on Nicola... What have you been up to ?

This shot was taken at Lamington National Park, Queensland. I used a 500D with a Tamron 17-50mm lens at f/10 ISO100 for 1 sec exposure. I added a little saturation to the greens to try to make the shot a little more vibrant.

I should have something like it, my friend
be patient, I can't post many pictures at one time!

and thanks for the critic, I haven't seen "the legs cutted by the mountain" ... I will try to avoid it next time!

It's a beautiful picture, Iain!
I like the colours and the atmophere!
perhaps a point of view a bit lower (close to the water) could be an improvement
but it's anyway a nice work
I like also the contrast between dark left side and the bright right side

I absolutely agree with Nicola

Well yes ! Here is a photo out of common
Well, this is not exactly a landscape but very valid as attempt Anyway it is a success as "a different one".
Well done Nicola Very shallow DOF indeed

Thanks Antonio!
I hope that you and the other members don't mind for the NOT-landscape pic,
but I was concentrated to reply to your nice challenge!
in this capture, I desired the canon EF 100 f/2.8 macro that i've ordered some weeks ago but I haven't still got it!
(there are many troubles for Japanese export, as you can imagine)
anyway the 17-40 at f/4 did a good job, but over all the USM AF in AI servo mode, since the worm was litterally blowing in the wind, his motion was similar to a pendulum... I think he has had a terrible headache!!

I almost missed this image...
Well done Nicola. Well done
Very well Nicola and very nice place.

This is in the Apuane Alps, isn't it ?

Yes it is!
Have you ever been in Tuscany on Apuane?
to be precise, I was shootnig from "Pania di Corfino" that is a member of Appennini mountain chain, but you can see the Apuane Alps in the background.
I like the frame for this picture, thanks to suggest it ... I have still to find the way in Photoshop to create the frame... I' m a bit lazy...

We have been in Florence and Pizza once but... it was 34 years ago

ok
so you havn't recognized the mountains, but you see that I'm from tuscany.. so 2+2=4 good work
if you will plan in your travels to come back nearby
please let me know, I will be proud to be your "cicerone"

just a question, what is Pizza? you mean the one we can eat or you mean a city like Piazza near the Apuane?

Sorry Nicola I meant Pisa, the town

I read Siena is gorgeous ! Never been there however...

And thank you for your offer. Be careful, we may accept it

I like these wideangle shots!

Here is one of my landscapes from our visit to Beachy Head recently:

I think I must not to be carefull since I 've a little experience about it as I've been a bike-tourist guide
instead, perhaps, you have to be carefull! read below:
you're right!
Siena is a beautyfull city, completely unchanged in the last 7 centuries, surrounded by a beautiful country, where you can find many medival castles and villages (Monteriggioni , San Gimignano...), many thermal water sources (Petriolo, Bagno Vignoni, exploited since Roman republic age), very good food since Siena is in a particular kind of countryside that produces very good wines (Chianti, Brunello, Vernaccia...) and many other products...
and finally, if you will be so gentle to let me "drive" you there, I can show you "something different" as a walk trough the old roman drinkable water pipeline some meters under the city level...
I hope you are not claustrophobic!
et voilà!
il signore è servito!

Thank you Nicola, but I have to be honest: it is not difficult to make a beautiful picture in this area of Sussex. A lot of it is breathtaking. The area is Beachy Head and the cliffs are called the Seven Sisters. It is quite a family

Thank you Peter for posting here
You landscape is very nice. I agree with Nicola when he says about the guiding line
it was not shot with a wide-angle was it ? It looks more like a midium tele...

Some years ago we traveled in Great Britain with a motor-caravan and we had the opportunity to visit this part of England.

Very nice landscape indeed What attracts me when I travel is to see new sites, locations and people so different to the ones we are used to see in everyday life.
Here you have another beautiful landscape of England.
Thank you again for posting here
