Hampi reminds me Bagan at Sun down. Nice image.
But the one I like best is the last one. Maybe you should clone the tree on the left side...
Thank you for posting.

Spring fields in Southern Ontario, Canada

Nice shot Wendy. This is down isn't it ?
Never been to Canada No one is perfect.

Yes, Antonio, it's Canada not China

Never been to Canada No one is perfect.

Aha! I thought you had been everywhere. You really should come and visit. January is very nice. I don't see snow in any of your shots.

No Wendy I have not been everywhere . The World is very large is Life too short

Yes, there is no snow in my shots because we don't travel to snow or even cold places.
My wife doesn't like it.

But Canada attracts me very much indeed as much as US does.

Great shot and great place.

We wanted to go there - Alasca I mean - once but as it is rather cold... even in Summer.

Thank you for the trouble of posting. You are most welcome

Green Fields

Super shot Wendy. A real 'courting field'. [They]Those were the days. A good sense of depth and the one colour landscape works wonderfully well.

Thanks Steve: I like this too. Wish my skills and camera could do the origianl scene justice, but I think I did well enough to get the feel of it anyway. Glad that you like it, and that it brought back some good memories.

... but I think I did well enough to get the feel of it anyway.

Wendy

And ... 'getting the feel of it' is what is should, primarily, be about. Steve has said the same thing in other threads (including today here in post #34) - that technical 'excellence' is not what turns him on. I think he's just so right. And, in this one, you have indeed conveyed a 'feeling' an 'emotion'. And you have stimulated emotion in others - Is there anything else that matters?

Sorry I couldn't blur the tower, I took the wrong lens



and this is on my return home.

Only(i think) standing replica of the Parthenon from Greece.

Is this the golden hour; because if it is I can't see how it is easier. This is one of the few within ev span and properly exposed although I like the light.

[arith]

Is this too much do you think.

[Donald]

Steve

That is a beauty.

My only question would be whether going further than f6.3 with the aperture would have given you enough DoF to get those leaves at the top left into focus as well - or is that motion blur?

But - composition is superb and control of light across the image is excellent.

[arith]

Cheers Donald; I think you are right. I did a batch using the Canon software and now reworking them with photoshop elements and ACR, I like the light in this but thought it could do with being a little sharper, I've got another but not so good light so I'll stick with this. cheers

[Antonio Correia]

Sorry I couldn't blur the tower, I took the wrong lens

May be next time
Well, this is an improved already. I think the tree is important in the composition as you have done here

where I think the composition is very good and the light is gold. I do like this one

This is also a good work.

...

The trees are important in the composition. However, more detail in the shadows would be interesting.
Unlike Donald I would like to have the branches in the foreground at our left, more blurred, more out of focus.

And why do I like things this way ? Because - IMHO - what enhance the depth in a picture is the difference in sharpness along the various planes in it.
I hope to make myself understand.

I would also apply that concept on the second picture of yours, the one with the bridge.

When I just saw these pictures I thought they were from the original monument "repaired" in CS5 so powerful is this software.
The original monument is in fact, in a more rocky place...
The point where you took the shot of the replica is very low and this is returning a less flattering perspective. Maybe you could correct it...
The second shot is interesting with a strong perspective, but I can't understand why the third image is tilted
