Don't know what this is. I was attracted by the glow, which seemed to give a 3D look, while highlighting the wall texture around. Selecting this, deselecting the rest which receded. Thank you. I am sure next time it won't be the same. A bit of luck.

Thank you. This branch withered prominently, across the path. Not shy at all.

Thank you. I wanted to let these trees stand out from the others. It seems that is the way they want it. Unfortunately we don't have any cemeteries left here.

Thank you. The morning light was just right, subdue yet with a bit of glow. Shot quite close at f1.4, it gave me the blurred background and the bokeh. The colours are natural.

Thank you. I like this pic for its sense of repose and solitude. It struck me immediately. I am very glad that you like this.

I have been getting "9" for the last 3 times. The colour of the cube seems to blend well with the table colour. Just for fun; selective focus used to highlight the wood grain. Thank you.

Beautiful grace in flight, nicely caught. Like the motion-like blur of the fall colour.

I really like the composition and balance in this photo. The grouping of the people is just right as all faces are visible showing the fruits of their labor. However, This is not criticism of an excellent photo. But, I find the processing is lacking in some contrast or whites thus creating a dullish look. Was it the actual lighting condition that give this look or is there room to work with the whites and black in order to give it some more pop? None the less, its a great shot.

Thank you. Not easy to catch GM's gaze.

Thank you. It is nice to shoot in this kind of light. Enough to brighten up a bit without glare. Little else needs to be done. Just look at it.

Thank you. I like pictures to create a mood - successfully or otherwise. I was walking along a carpark, and thought the grill seemed to have encased the outside building in a peculiar way. I shot the pic for this reason. Nothing clever. Glad you like it.

Thank you. Why do they have to be so fierce? Not a happy life. May be, I am a bit B&W.

Normally I try to optimize focus, resolution detail etc. but with this image the idea was to produce a representation of the feeling of the jungle. So for the purists please excuse this "painterly" approach.

Johnlarson - Thank you for taking a look and commenting. It was 10 days of trekking to get up to the Annapurna Base Camp. Most of the trek is through beautiful tropical and sub-tropical forest until you reach 2500 meters then it turns into Alpine terrain without trees. This small village with its tea houses is typical along this route.
