Nice to have the waves lapping the black muddy shore. Must be the tide starting to come in.

Thank you. I have always wanted to capture the mood of a "dull" scene well. If captured right, it can't be bad. Keep trying.

Yeah. I guess. Really should have been more horizontal, in this case. Can't have the ocean water draining out.

Yes, it is. Of course it is not "correct". But, is it necessarily bad? I don't know. I do it sometimes, on purpose, even in landscape. May be in this case, the requirement for "horizontal" is dictated by the horizon?

Nice b & w, but it seems to me that the landscape is inclined to the right. Wat a pity

Appreciate your comments. The rooftop was full of these cement beams criss-crossing. Wonderful place to shot, when the weather is right. I agree with you about the symmetric triangle. May be I could have tilted the frame (or my head) to shape it that way; however, I might have lost part of the building. Goes back to the fault in the original framing of the shot.

Thank you. Small things matter - the woman looking side-way towards the camera, the people at the back faintly discerned. Of course, the colours bland. They came together, by luck.

I quite like the geometric symmetry you have given by cutting the frame with the elle of the grider of cement, in turn generating two symmetrical triangles, one in the upper right corner and one at the base of the photo on the right of the same area. Too bad the first is two-colored, due to the sky and the gride of cement. Perhaps there are too many elements and a left-most cut eliminating the portion of the abovementioned area would have been more effective and less distracting. Ciao

Thank you. See this often, but getting the right people to sit in there, looking right, is luck.

Sweet. Love it. You gotta love the Alfa's. I am in the middle of restoring my TR6 from the ground up as well. I have a set of brand new triple Weber side drafts 40DC0E's sitting in my garage just waiting to go on :) I buy directly from Pierce manifolds in CA and save a grand :) Waiting on the Falcon stainless exhause system to arrive next. I can't wait! I will post pictures of it eventually and create a restoration album. If you are ever in West Linn send me a message and maybe you can show me the Alfa :)

1972 GTV 2000, that has been restored ground up with a euro cams, header, forged pistons and rod and twin Weber 40DCOE, currently putting out about 200hp but on a 1800 pound car it is more than enough. So to use the HP it is lowered with progressive rate springs, drilled and slotted brake rotters Cromodora wheels and Toyo tires

Love it. Is that a 1750 or 2000? Those Alfa's are sweet!

Thank you. This is an interesting photo, in my mind. The scene itself was quite plain; it was the silhouette of the branch that enlivened it.

Thank you. Today, I was having dinner here. The waiter who had served me, suddenly sat down at the old piano, and played some classical pieces. The piano worked fine, in spite of the abuse.

Thank you. Pardon the indelicate subject. The lines seemed good, though the lighting was not. Also, had to do it in a hurry.

Thank you. Shot in dim light with high-speed film, crouching to enhance the converging lines. Helped by a person sitting at the right place.

Thank you. This is the very lofty pathway from the carpark to the mall. On this rare occasion,the sun struck at a right angle to flood this beautiful architecture. I had to shot fast.

Thank you.. Buddy Hoagie - this cafe - had hoped to cater to the old-timers. Thus, the past stars, the antique piano. That vision has faded, replaced by youngster, kids; who hammer on the keyboard.

It is as if the lone visitor is being observed by all stationary objects in the room. An illustration about loneliness perhaps. Of course it must have resonated with Sol as it is one of her themes also, It is a very good picture.

This is absolutely stunning. I only wish you had a 4k version posted so I could set it as my desktop background :) The lighting and colors of this picture are spot on. It gives a sense of being there while the sun is setting. Again, Awesome!
