Many, many thanks, Glyn, for that interesting analysis of my image. I'm sure you are aware of the fact that often one creates something without realizing what exactly were the compositional decisions one's self took (more or less subconsciously). Therefore, a review like yours of an image can be an enormous help in becoming conscious of one's own "way of doing". Though I really don't think I deserve all your favourite remarks, I sure do appreciate your taking the time and making the effort to "make me see" my own picture with "different eyes". Thanks a lot! -- db.

Hi Daniel. Last photo I give you easy applause. The dense structure was aleady there and we can thank the architect as much as the photographer. You get credit for recording something good, and recording it well. This one, I take my hat off and salute you ....because YOU MADE this picture ... You went for Zero-Tolerance No-Compromise Precision in your framing, your vertical and horizontal positioning , and also your organizing your distance from that fence. Yes. I've stopped writing for a while to let the impact of what you did settle as my eyes recover from that 'conceptual after-image' that happens when the structure of what you've seen imprints a handshake of agreement with the sated natural hunger for harmony.

This one is actually quite lovely as well, a very graceful perspective.

Nice frames within frames. I like the contrasts of straight lines framing circle lines.

Beautiful capture - I love the pink in the sky, and the blue colors, and the pretty railing with the symmetrical view to the sea!
